Use the attached MRP record blanks to complete the records for components B, C, D, and E, to answer the three questions. Item A is the finished product, made from one B and two Cs. Item B is made from three Ds and one E. Item C is made from one D and two Es.

The following is the MPS quantities for Item A (MPS quantities, not customer demand):

a. Is there anything of special note that is a concern? What and why?

b. The R&D Department wants to take the 10 units of D that are on-hand immediately and also wants 20 more in week 1.

What would you tell them and why?

c. The master scheduler asks you if they can move the MPS of 20 in week 3 to week 2.

From the data on the MRP records, what would you tell them and why?

d. R&D has a new design they want to implement for part C, and they are asking you when they should plan to do that. What do you tell them and why?
