Question:
Assume that Product Z is made up of one unit of A and five units of B. A is made of three units of C and four units of D. D is made of two units of E. The demand for Z is 1,200 units. For Z, B, C, and E, there are no units on hand, no safety stock, and no units allocated. Item D has 900 units on hand, with a safety stock of 300 units and no units allocated. Item A has 400 units on hand, 200 units of safety stock and 200 units already allocated. There are 200 units of Item C currently scheduled to arrive in Week 1 and 200 units of item D are scheduled to arrive in Week 1.
The additional information is the following. The "On hand" includes both the "safety stock" and the "allocated".
