Case: Toy Discovery's MRP.

- Toy Discovery, Inc. is a relatively small company in Boston. It designs, develops, and produces a variety of innovative learning toys, games, and books for early child education. The company was founded in 1980 by a preschool educator and, since the creation, continues to grow from the passion for helping children through play. Today, Toy Discovery is a leader in providing toys and games for early childhood education. It is also a foremost direct marketing company of its kind, because most of these toys and games are sold to the customers directly via the Internet.

- One of the company's product lines is dedicated to two types of toy cars: the red-and-yellow race car (20- CAR-RED) and blue retro car (20-CAR-BLUE).

- The list of finished units and parts/components used in both toys is shown in Table 1 (slide 2), and bills of materials (BOMs) for these toys are presented in Figures 1 and 2 (slide 3).

- Toy Discovery assembles car toys in its Boston Manufacturing facility (M2) from several component parts: wheels, axles, and main car body. These components are outsourced from two major suppliers: Seattle Manufacturing (M1) and Dallas Manufacturing (M3) (see Table 2 in slide 4).

- The master demand schedule (MDS) on week 6 is 1210 units for the red-and-yellow car (20-CAR-RED), and 1020 units for the blue car (20-CAR-BLUE).

- Questions.
- Briefly explain what inputs you will use for the MRP in this case (see lecture materials on MRP, p. 7-8).
- Use Excel to develop the MRP for the toys using the MDS on the Week 6 and information presented in slides 2-4.
- Provide explanation of the developed MRP schedules for 20-AXLE, 20-WHEEL, and 20-WHL- ASSEM.

The task pertains to calculating the operation cost. The cost of various inputs have been analysed in various cases like in case of in-house production or purchasing it from outside. Further, the requirement of the inputs have been analysed depending upon the demand schedule of the final products.It is to be noted that per unit cost of the inputs have not been given. therefore, the cells have been left blank for those. Further, the answer has been done by linking various cells in such a manner that if the cells marked yellow are filled (i.e. per unit cost of the inputs), the final answer will be produced automatically through the formulas I have already provided in the worksheet.
