Review Problems for Chapter 14

1.

2.

a.

Given the following diagram for a product, determine the quantity of each
component required to assemble one unit of the finished product.

b.

Draw a tree diagram for the stapler:

The following table lists the components needed to assemble an end item, lead times,
and quantities on hand.

a.

If 20 units of the end item are to be assembled, how many additional units of
E are needed? (Hint: You dont need to develop an MRP plan to determine this.)

b.

3.

An order for the end item is scheduled to be shipped at the start of week 11.
What is the latest week that the order can be started and still be ready to ship
on time? (Hint: You dont need to develop an MRP plan for this part either.)

End item P is composed of three subassemblies: K, L, and W. K is assembled using 3


Gs and 4 Hs; L is made of 2 Ms and 2 Ns; and W is made of 3 Zs. On-hand inventories
are 20 Ls, 40 Gs, and 200 Hs. Scheduled receipts are 10 Ks at the start of week 3, 30
Ks at the start of week 6, and 200 Ws at the start of week 3.
One hundred Ps will be shipped at the start of week 6, and another 100 at the start of
week 7. Lead times are two weeks for subassemblies and one week for components G,
H, and M. Final assembly of P requires one week. Include an extra 10 percent scrap
allowance in each planned order of G. The minimum order size for H is 200 units.
Develop each of the following:
a.
b.
c.
d.

4.

A product structure tree.


An assembly time chart.
A master schedule for P.
A material requirements plan for K, G, and H using lot-for-lot ordering.

Oh No!, Inc., sells three models of radar detector units. It buys the three basic models
(E, F, and G) from a Japanese manufacturer and adds one, two, or four lights
(component D) to further differentiate the models. D is bought from a domestic
producer.

Lead times are one week for all items except C, which is two weeks. There are ample
supplies of the basic units (E, F, and G) on hand. There are also 10 units of B, 10 units
of C, and 25 units of D on hand. Lot-sizing rules are lot-for-lot ordering for all items
except D, which must be ordered in multiples of 100 units. There is a scheduled
receipt of 100 units of D in week 1.
The master schedule calls for 40 units of A to be produced in week 4, 60 units of B in
week 5, and 30 units of C in week 6. Prepare a material requirements plan for D and
its parents.

5.

Using the diagram below, do the following:


a. Draw a tree diagram for the scissors.
b. Prepare an MRP for scissors. Lead times are one day for each component and
final scissor assembly, but two days for the plastic grips. Six hundred pairs of
scissors are needed on Day 6. Note: There are 200 straight blades and 350
bent blades on hand, and 40 top blade assemblies on hand.

6.

Develop a material requirements plan for component H. Lead times for the end item
and each component except B are one week. The lead time for B is three weeks. Sixty
units of A are needed at the start of week 8. There are currently 15 units of B on hand
and 130 of E on hand, and 50 units of H are in production and will be completed by
the start of week 2.
