1– Determine the MPS for all products for the peak month.
a. The MPS should show the available–to–promise record as well.
b. The MPS should be on a weekly basis.
c. During the month (i.e., through all weeks), sales are assumed to be evenly
distributed.
d. Assume we do not know the orders we will receive yet.
e. Assume lot size varies (chase strategy).
f. No safety stock is held.
g. Bonus: how can you determine the optimal lot size that minimizes the overall
costs? Find it?
2– Develop an MRP for the same peak month in task 1 of this project, part 3. The bill of
material is shown below. The MRP should be on a weekly basis.
a. Develop the bill of material for level 1 (headboard, footboard, sides)
b. Develop a bill of material for Headboard only in detail (for all levels).
