Stay Safe International manufactures industrial safety equipment at its plant in Evansville,

Indiana. The company has initiated DRP to coordinate finished goods distribution from the plant

to DCs in Dallas, Texas, and Lexington, Virginia.

a.

Given the accompanying information regarding hardhats, complete the DRP schedule for

the warehouse and each DC.

b.

Suppose that, without warning, no more than 500 units can be distributed from the

warehouse to the DCs on 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.
