Table MRP_Data

Consider the following MPS, BOM, and inventory data. Blank MRP records are provided below so you can show your explosion calculations.

Master Production Schedule: the following table shows the MPS start quantities.

(MPS start quantities are the same as Planned Order Releases for end-products A & B).

Bill of Material

          -End item A uses 1 each of component C and 1 each of subassembly D.

          -Subassembly D uses 2 each of component E and 2 each of component F.

          -End item B uses 1 each of component C and 2 each of component F.

Use the information in Table MRP_DATA. Which one of the following statements about item F is TRUE?

          a. The first planned order release is for 205 units in week 3.

          b. Its first planned receipt is for 215 units in week 4.

          c. There will be exactly one action notice, which calls for the release of a new order.

          d. There will be exactly one action notice, which calls for the delay of the scheduled receipt until week 2.

          e. None of the above. (Show your MRP Explosion Calculation Table).

Solution

e) None of the above.

Since, Its 100-unit scheduled receipt in week 1 could be delayed to week 2 without delaying the planned order release for product B
