2) Gross Material Requirements with a Production Schedule Lead times for item A and its components are given in the table below: Item A B D E F Lead time 2 weeks 3 weeks 2 weeks 1 week 2 weeks 3 weeks Using the lead time information and the product structure given above, develop the gross material requirements plan with a production schedule that will satisfy the demand of 20 units of item A by week 8 (as shown in the table below). Please note that you are asked to develop the gross material requirements plan with Required date and Order release date for items A, B, C, and D only. In the table below, A, B, C, and D represent items A, B, C, and D, respectively. Week 1 2. 3 4 5 6 7 7 8 20 A. Required date Order release date B. Required date Order release date C. Required date Order release date D. Required date Order release date Interpretation of the table: In the table above, 20 is given at the intersection of "A. Required date" and "Week 8". It means that 20 units of item A are required in Week 8. The next question is then: how many units of item A must be ordered and when (in which week) those units of item A must be ordered (if ordered from a supplier) or when the production of item A must be started. This question corresponds to Order release date in the table. For items B, C, and D, you will answer the similar questions: 1) How many units are required and when (in which week) those units are required (this corresponds to Required date in the table); and 2) How many units must be ordered and when (in which week) those units must be ordered (this corresponds to Order release date in the table). Write your final answer only (without intermediate steps) for the fill-in-the-blank questions Question 41 (4 points) For item A: A units must be ordered in Week A Round the final answer (if it is not an integer) to the nearest integer. Question 42 (4 points) For item B: A units are required in Week AJ Round the final answer (if it is not an integer) to the nearest integer Question 43 (4 points) For item B: A/ units must be ordered in Week Round the final answer (if it is not an AM integer) to the nearest integer. Question 44(4 points) For item C: A units are required in Week Round the final answer (if it is not an A integer) to the nearest integer. Question 45 (4 points) For item C: A/ units must be ordered in Week A/ Round the final answer (if it is not an Question 46 (4 points) AJ For item D: units are required in Week 3, and A units are required in Week 4. Round the final answer (if it is not an integer) to the nearest integer. Question 47 (4 points) For item D A units must be ordered in Week 2, and A units must be ordered in Week 3. Round the final answer (if it is not an integer) to the nearest integer
