Case: Promotional Novelties
Given:
Promotional Novelties has received an order for 20,000 toy Tractor-Trailers to be ready at the beginning
of week 8. The company can complete final assembly of the Tractor-Trailers at a rate of 10,000 a week.
Tractors and Trailers are purchased and have a lead time = 3 weeks. The company has sufficient supply of
2 to 3 weeks. All items use lot-for-lot ordering except for the purchased Wheels (lot size = multiples of
6,400).
Comments on the product structure tree shown in the text:
The Wheel Assembly of the Tractor differs from the Wheel Assembly of the Trailer.
If the order of 20,000 tractor-trailers is due at the start of week 8 and final assembly is limited to 10,000
per week, then we must list 10,000 in week 7 and 10,000 in week 8 of the master schedule.
