One end item A requires three component parts: B, C, and D. The bill of material indicates that for each completed A, 3 units of B, 2 units of C, and 1 unit of D are required. Current inventory for the four items is as follows: There are 18 As, 40 Bs, 50 Cs and 35 Ds in stock. If the lead time for all items is one week and there are no scheduled receipts for any item, how many units of product A can be delivered to customers at the start of next week (week 2)

Answer 1

The number of unit of product A that can be delivered to customers at the start of next week is 31

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 18 A products currently with 40 B products, which can give 40/3 = 13 A products.

50 C product can give 50/2 = 25 A products

and

35 D products can give35 A products.

B is a constraints.

Therefore a maximum of 13 A products can be made with stocks at hand.

Which implies the number of A products that can be delivered at the start of next week =

18 + 13 = 31(A Products)
