The demand for assembly S is 200 units at the start of week 6. Each unit of S requires 2 units of T and 3 units of U. Each unit of T requires 2 units of V, 1 unit of W, and 4 units of X. Finally, each unit of U requires 3 units of Y and 1 unit of X. One firm manufactures all items. It takes 1 week to make S, 2 weeks to make T, 2 weeks to make U, 2 weeks to make V, 3 weeks to make W, 1 week to make X, and 2 weeks to make Y.
a. Construct a product structure tree at a lowest level coding (e.g. Identify all levels, parents, and components).
b. Prepare a time-phased product structure. How long does it take to Produce S?
c. Construct a Materiel Requirements Plan (MRP) using the following on-hand inventory.
Item On-hand inventory
S 30
T 40
U 20
V 30
W 500
X 50
Y 100
d. In addition to the 200 units of S at the start of week 6, there is also a demand of 60 units of U, which is a component of S. The 60 units of U are needed for maintenance purposes. These 60 units are needed at the start of week 4. Modify the MRP to reflect this change.
e. Justify if the MRP in part d) is feasible or NOT? If it is not feasible provide a recommendation on how to make it feasible.
