Solution:
a) From the given table, it is clear that we need 1 unit of E to assemble 1 unit of end item.And, we have 10 units of E available.
So, if 17 units of end item is to be assembled, then 7 additional units of E are needed.
b) To ship an order for end item in week 15, the latest week that the order can be started is Week 12, as the lead time is 3 weeks.
Hope the solution helps. Thanks
