The latest week that the order can be started and still be ready to ship on time is week 9, we need to consider the lead times for each component and the amount on hand.

In order to determine the latest week that the order can be started and still be ready to ship on time, we need to consider the lead times for each component and the amount on hand. We should start with the end item and work backwards through the components.

End Item

Lead Time: 2 weeks

Amount on Hand: 10

Based on the information provided, we can see that the end item has enough on hand to fulfill the order. Therefore, the latest week the order can be started and still be ready to ship on time is week 9.
