Stay Safe International manufactures industrial safety equipment at its plant in Evansville, Indiana. The company has initiated distribution requirements planning (DRP) to coordinate finished goods distribution from the plant to DCs in Dallas, Texas, and Lexington, Virginia.

-Given the accompanying information regarding hardhats, complete the DRP schedule for the warehouse and each DC.

-Suppose that, without warning, no more than 500 units can be distributed from the warehouse to the DCs in a given week due to a manufacturing breakdown. Hardhats sell for $12 each out of the Dallas DC and $14 from Lexington. Discuss whether the warehouse should delay shipments until both DC requirements can be satisfied or allocate based on need.
