A component used in a manufacturing facility is ordered from an outside supplier. The time-phased requirements for the component over the next 7 weeks are 15, 20, 16, 10, 20, 14, and 18. Current inventory of this item is 8, and the ending inventory should be 7. Assume a holding cost of $2 per week and a setup cost of $40.
