One (1) unit of A is made of two (2) units of B and three (3) units of C. One (1) unit of B is made up of three (3) units of D and two (2) units of E. One(1) unit of C is made up of two (2) units of B and two (2) units of D. Items A, C and E have one (1) week lead time.

We are scheduled to receive ten (10) units of item B in week two (2) and twenty (20) units of item D in week one (1).  There are no other scheduled receipts.

 

  1. Draw the product structure tree with low level coding.                                               
  2. Draw the corresponding time-phased diagram showing lead times to scale.             
  3. If fifty (50) units of A are required in Week eight (8), determine the necessary planned order releases for all components {five(5) schedules}
