If 23 units of the end item are to be assembled, how many additional units of E

Question

If 23 units of the end item are to be assembled, how many additional units of E are needed? (Hint: You don't need to develop an MRP plan to determine this.)

An order for the end item is scheduled to be shipped at the start of week 14. What is the latest week that the order can be started and still be ready to ship on time? (Hint: You don't need to develop an MRP plan for this part either.)

Explanation / Answer

                Unit required B = 2x23 -10 = 36 units

                                           C = 1x23 -10 = 13 units

                                           D = 3 x23 – 25 =44 units

Total units of E required = 36x2 + 13x2 +44x2

                                                =186 units

(-) units in hand                                =-12 units

Additional units required =174 units

2. Here the longest sequence is 5 weeks.

Latest week an order can be started = 14 – 5 week

=9th week
