A company manufactures a unique type of component (STC) used in injection molding of medium-sized medical devices. By the start of week 6, a hundred STC must be ready to deliver. Each STC requires two sub-component A and four sub-component B. The lead time of STC is one week, and there are ten units on-hand. Sub-component A has a lead time of two weeks, and there is in-hand thirty units. Last, there are fifty units of Sub-component B, which has a lead time of one week. If at the beginning of week 6, one hundred STC is required, what is the net requirement for sub-component B to satisfy this order?

Solution

We have 10 units in Hand already. We are require to prepare 90 more units as per the requirement:

So, A component has a lead time of two week and 30 units are already in hand.

B component has a lead time of one week and we have 50 units in hand.

For 90 STC we require :

2*90 + 4*90

180 Components of A and 360 components of B.

So the net requirement of B ro Satisfy the order is 360 components.
