Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 41AP
The gross requirement of MPS −
| Week | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 |
| MPS | 12 | 12 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 3 | 22 | 14 | 18 | 6 | |||
| Gross requirement of processor | 12 | 12 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 3 | 22 | 14 | 18 | 6 | |||
| Gross requirement of solar cell | 48 | 48 | 32 | 40 | 40 | 12 | 88 | 56 | 72 | 24 | |||
| Gross requirement of LCD | 12 | 12 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 3 | 22 | 14 | 18 | 6 | |||
| Gross requirement of button | 480 | 480 | 320 | 400 | 400 | 120 | 880 | 560 | 720 | 240 |
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The lead time of four solar cells = 1 week
The lead time of one LCD = 1 week
The lead time of forty buttons = 2 weeks
The lead time of one processor = 3 weeks
The MPS of the product from week 8 to week 17 is given as −
| Week | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 |
| MPS | 1200 | 1200 | 800 | 1000 | 1000 | 300 | 2200 | 1400 | 1800 | 600 |
The following method will be used to determine the gross requirement of the component processor −
- The multiplication of the production of CL by one will result in gross requirement of processor.
- The gross requirement will be phased back by three periods.
The following method will be used to determine the gross requirement of the component solar cell −
- The multiplication of the production of CL by four will result in gross requirement of solar cell.
- The gross requirement will be phased back by one period.
The following method will be used to be calculate the gross requirement of component LCD −
- The multiplication of the production of CL by one will result in gross requirement of LCD.
- The gross requirement will be phased back by one period.
The following method will be used to be calculate the gross requirement of component button −
- The multiplication of the production of CL by forty will result in gross requirement of button.
- The gross requirement will be phased back by two periods.
Now, the gross requirement of MPS can be given as −
| Week | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 |
| MPS | 12 | 12 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 3 | 22 | 14 | 18 | 6 | |||
| Gross requirement of processor | 12 | 12 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 3 | 22 | 14 | 18 | 6 | |||
| Gross requirement of solar cell | 48 | 48 | 32 | 40 | 40 | 12 | 88 | 56 | 72 | 24 | |||
| Gross requirement of LCD | 12 | 12 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 3 | 22 | 14 | 18 | 6 | |||
| Gross requirement of button | 480 | 480 | 320 | 400 | 400 | 120 | 880 | 560 | 720 | 240 |
Hence, the gross requirement schedule is determined which will be used to determine the net requirement and planned order release of each component.

Although the setup and production time vary for each model, the smallest lead time is six days. The most popular model, Model HA2, takes two days for setup, and the production rate is 1,125 units per day. The expected annual demand for the model is 54,000 units. Demand for the model, however, can reach 67,500 units. The cost of carrying one HA2 helmet is $3 per unit. The setup cost is $9,000. Bateman chooses its batch size based on the economic order quantity criterion. Expected annual demand is used to compute the EOQ. Recently, Bateman has encountered some stiff competition—especially from foreign sources. Some of the foreign competitors have been able to produce and deliver the helmets to retailers in half the time it takes Bateman to produce. For example, a large retailer recently requested a delivery of 18,000 Model HA2 helmets with the stipulation that the…arrow_forwardSaché, Incorporated, expects to sell 2,030 of its designer suits every week.

The company has experienced a steady demand for its products, which are highly regarded in the health care field. Recently the company has undertaken a review of its inventory ordering procedures as part of a larger effort to reduce costs. One of the company's products is a blood pressure testing kit. UPD manufactures all of the components for the kit in-house except for the digital display unit. The display units are ordered at six-week intervals from the supplier. This ordering system began about five years ago, because the supplier insisted on it. However, that supplier was bought out by another supplier about a year ago, and the six-week ordering requirement is no longer in place. Nonetheless, UPD has continued to use the six-week ordering policy.
