Question:

The IT department has a problem. Its computer died just as it spat out the following information: Planned-order release for item J27 = 640 units in week 2. The company has been able to reconstruct all the information it lost except the production schedule for the end item 565. The company is fortunate because J27 is used only in 565. Given the following product structure tree and the associated inventory on hand, lot sizing, and lead-time information, determine what production schedule entry for item 565 was exploded into the material requirements plan that killed the computer.

On Hand Lot Sizing Part Number Lead Time 565 Lot-for-lot 1 week X43 60 Multiples of 120 1 week N78 Lot-for-lot 2 weeks Y36 200 Lot-for-lot 1 week J27 Lot-for-lot 2 weeks 565 X43 Y36(2) N78 J27(4) X43
