3. Consider the BOM shown in Figure 1, where the number in parenthesis denotes how many parts of a particular type a higher level subassembly requires while the number outside denotes the lead time of the specific part, in weeks. a.) Calculate the total lead time for sub-assemblies D, G and for assembly A. b.) How many net parts of F are in A? How many net parts of J are in A? c.) Consider the following scenario: The forecasted market demand for product A is 350 units and 25 As are currently available in stock. If the EOQ for part D is the one calculated in question 2.a above at the nearest lowest integer and there are already 400 Ds available at the in-bound stock location, how many Ds should be planned to be ordered? Show all the steps of your Netting calculations and comment on the results. F(3) 4 D(4) 5 B(3) 2 H(5) 4 E(3) 7 J(5) 4 A 1 C(5) 2 F(5) 3 J(5) 4 G(3) 7 H(20) 6 Figure 1 1.
