You need $1950$ pieces of denim. The customer needs the product in $11$ weeks. You want to ship the final product at least one week early to get the best Reputation score $($this means you ship them when the contract is due in three $(3)$ weeks or more$).$ It will take $5$ weeks in production. Therefore you need $8$ weeks for production and shipping. This leaves you three $(3)$ weeks $(11$ minus $8)$ to receive the material. The bid price for the customer product is $$2\mathrm{.}00$ less per product than our projected bid price from our product profitability plan. There are $3$ pieces of denim per product. Based on this criteria, look at your scorecards and choose the supplier or suppliers you would use. Explain.
