Question

It is week 1 and there are currently 10 As in stock. We need 300 As at the start of week 5. If there are scheduled receipts planned for week 3 and week 4 of 120 As each and A has a lead time of 1 week, when and how large of an order should be placed to meet the requirement of 300 As?

Four A washers, five B washers, two C bolts, and two D bolts are required to make one grill parts kit. If 100 grill parts kits are needed, how many more washers will be consumed than bolts?

Consider the following product structure. Fifty units of Product A are needed. How many units of F are needed?

Answer 1

We have 10A at the start of week 1. We need 300A at the start of Week 5. As we get 120+120A at the start of week 3 and 4. Which leads to 250A (in total) at the seat of week 4. To have 300A at the start of week 5 we need 50A more and they are ordered at the start of week 4 as it has a lead time of 1 week.

One grill require 5 washer and 2 bolts which means to make 1 grill we need 3B more washer which leads to 300 more washer if we need 100grills.
