Answer 1

Each flashlight needs 3 bulbs

Net Bulbs required = Bulbs required - Inventory = 40*3 -90 = 30 bulbs

Each bulb needs 3 filaments.

Net Filaments required = 30 *3 - On-hand filaments = 90-20 = 70 filaments

3. John is looking at an action notice that informs if a part is getting delayed or due dates may get pushed out.

4. John would use an ERP. MRP is used for material planning and contains no financial information.

5. Master production schedule gives a schedule of production required to meet demand. Answer = Option a.
