4. Consider the following data for a product which is produced in lots of 300 (or multiples of 300) units. Assume that the beginning inventory is 140. 1 100 110 2 100 80 3 100 50 Weeks 5 6 100 100 4 100 20 7 100 Forecast Orders 8 100 9 100 10 100 (a) Develop an MPS, and calculate the projected-on-hand (POH) quantities. (b) Calculate the available-to-promise (ATP) using the discrete (period-by-period) method. c) Calculate the available-to-promise (ATP) using the cumulative with look-ahead method. (d) Calculate the projected-on-hand (POH) using the consuming the forecast method and the assumption that orders are following their normal pattern (the original total forecast is still valid). (e) Calculate the projected-on-hand (POH) using the consuming the forecast method and the assumption that 30 units ordered in Week 8 are from a new customer. All other orders are following their normal pattern (the original total forecast must be increased). (1) Using the receipt of an additional order for 20 units in Week 8, calculate both the ATP (with look ahead) and the revised POH. (9) Consider the MPS results obtained in part (a). Suppose that the product is assembled in 250 units of batches in the final assembly department, and its lead time is 2 weeks. There is a scheduled receipt of 300 units in week 2. Note that the inventory at the beginning of week 1 is zero since it has been accounted for in the MPS calculations. Prepare an MRP record for the product and determine its planned order releases, assuming that (1) Safety stock for the assembled product in each week is zero. (i) Safety stock for the assembled product in each week is 15 units
