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
Lot size is 50
Gross requirements have to be met
Net requirements have to be met
Inventory levels must be kept at minimum

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).
