4. Product A is made from two components, Band C. It takes one B and three Cs to make a single product A. Component B is made from two part Ds. Component C is made from one part D and 2 part Cs. Use this information together with the data below to answer the following questions:

part	lead time	Lot Size	On-Hand	Scheduled Recpts
B	1	Lot-for-Lot	10	none
C	2	200	100	none
D	1	300	120	none
E	2	500	0	500, week 1

a. Make MRP records for B, C, D, and E. Production quantities and production start dates for A are: 20 in week 2, 50 in week 4, 30 in week 6,40 in week 7, 50 in week 9, and 40 in week 11. b. Suppose the quality manager told you the 120 part Ds on hand were damaged in a sprinkler accident and not available for production. What actions should you take? c. The purchasing manager has just informed you that the supplier for part E was only able to ship 480 of the 500 you are scheduled to receive in week 1. What potential problems would this mean and how would you deal with it?
