The procurement team knows top board, leg, and metal plate are purchased in lot-for-lot, metal screw in a lot size of 200, and leg extender in a lot size of 80. Assuming it takes one day to make a table. 1. Develop the material requirements plan for this order. (10 marks) 2. Suppose the table is not assembled in a work center. In one small paragraph, identify the production process strategy for the table. Explain why you would choose this process strategy. A small furniture company operates seven days a week.
