In MRP terms, all of these items are level 1 items that make the level 0 kits. Complete the MRP records, using the following information: - Production plans for complete kits are as follows: Start assembling 14,000 kits in week 2 Start assembling 14,500 kits in weeks 3,4 , and 5 Start assembling 19,500 kits in week 6 - The gross requirements for the system unit have already been given to you. For the remaining items, you will need to figure out the gross requirements. - All scheduled receipts, lead times, and beginning inventory levels are shown. Click the icon to view the MRP records.

Answer 1

To determine the gross requirements for the MRP records of the Triam Deluxe gamer computer system, multiply the number of kits to be assembled by the number of each component needed per kit, considering production plans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

To complete the MRP records for the Triam Deluxe gamer computer system, we need to calculate the gross requirements for each component. Given the production plans, and assuming there is one of each component per kit, we arrive at the gross requirements by multiplying the number of kits to be assembled each week by the quantity of each component required per kit. For instance, if 14,000 kits need to be assembled in week 2, then 14,000 speakers (two per kit), 14,000 monitors, 14,000 system units, 14,000 keyboards, and 14,000 installation kits are needed for that week.

The total gross requirements would be found by doing this calculation for each of the weeks for which production is planned. The provided information on scheduled receipts, lead times, and beginning inventory levels would then be used to complete the MRP records, ensuring that all components are available when needed for production.
