Release orders $($i$.$e$.$ order$)$ cane sugar packs for Wasatch Rye Bread Inc. to allow continued production of

its bread for a period of four weeks.

Assumptions:

$$ Lead time is $2$ weeks

$$ Gross requirements have to be met

$$ Net requirements have to be met

$$ Inventory levels must be kept at minimum

To release orders, fill in cells in Table $3$ as required $($hint: not all cells need be filled$).$ You are not given

any yellow highlighting here. You have to determine yourself which cells need be filled and with what

numbers. Again, find a similar example in the text and study it$.$ Replicate the example in the text if

needed to understand the logic of releasing orders $($which is simple$).$
