The following table lists the components needed to assemble an end item, lead times (in weeks), and quantities on hand.

Item Lead Time Amount on Hand Direct Components
End 1 - L(2), C(1), K(3)
L 2 10 B(2), J(3)
C 3 15 G(2), B(2)
K 3 20 H(4), B(2)
B 2 30
J 3 30
G 3 5
H 2 0

a) If 45 units of the End item are to be assembled, additional units of item B will be needed. (Hint: You dont need to develop an MRP plan, but you WILL NEED to create a product structure tree)

b) An order for the end item is scheduled to be shipped at the start of week 8. Week # is the latest week that the order can be started and still be ready to ship on time? (Hint: You don't need to develop an MRP plan for this part either. You can create an assembly time chart by drawing your product structure tree sideways)
