1. Phil Harris, the Production Control Manager at Brunswick Motors, wants to illustrate time-phased requirements planning for scheduling engine assembly operations. He prepares a master schedule for the Model 1000 engine over the next 12 weeks.
2. Phil considers requirements for two components, the gear box and input shaft. The gear box requires 2 weeks to produce and the input shaft requires 3 weeks. Phil plans to use MRP worksheets and assumes 17 gear boxes and 40 input shafts are on hand initially.
3. Calculating schedules using lot-for-lot and least total cost lot sizing, Phil finds using least total cost results in lower total costs of $864 versus $1049 using lot-for-lot
Purple Innovation: A Rising Digitally-native Brand Unicorn Hiding in Plain SightDrew Peng
The following presentation attempts to outline both the opportunities and challenges faced by the Company and its new management team as it seeks to capture its fair share of the rapidly emerging, digitally-native mattress market. While Purple faces challenges as it emerges from startup mode, the opportunities to grow into a profitable, truly differentiated player are massive and importantly, not merely hypothetical or speculative. As a small-cap, public company with minuscule non-founder free float, Purple is not well covered by sellside analyst research. This presentation hopefully serves as a good overview of the Company, its competitive position, challenges, and future prospects based on readily-available public information.

Example (Production Planning)
After Intel introduces new computer chips, it usually experiences a
dramatic improvement in yield during production. Initially, the
number of chips that meet standards may be only 60%. As the
company learns more about the process, the yield may increase to
90% or more.
This 30% increase in yield leads to [ ] more product to sell.
(Previously only 60 out of 100 chips could be sold.) So, capacity is
increased.
These 30 additional chips add no production cost, so most of the
revenue from their sales falls directly to the company’s bottom line.
For Intel, moving up the yield curve as quickly as possible has a
substantial impact on meeting customer demand and on increasing
profitability.

3. BRUNSWICK MOTORS, INC - AN INTRODUCTORY CASE FOR MRP
Recently, Phil Harris, the Production Control Manager at Brunswick read an article on time-phased
requirements planning. He was curious about how this technique might work in scheduling Brunswick's engine
assembly operations and decided to prepare an example to illustrate the of time-phased requirements planning.
Phil's first step was to prepare a master schedule for one of the engine types produced by Brunswick, the
Model 1000 engine. The schedule indicates the number of units of the Model 1000 engine to be assembled during
each week over the next twelve weeks and is shown below. Next, Phil decided to simplify his requirements
planning example by considering only two of the many components which are needed to complete the assembly
of the Model 1000 engine. These two components, the Gear Box and the Input Shaft, are shown in the Product
Structure Diagram. Phil noted that the Gear Box is assembled by the Sub-Assembly Department, and is
subsequently sent to the main engine assembly line. The Input Shaft is one of several component parts
manufactured by Brunswick that are needed to produce a Gear Box sub-assembly. Thus, levels 0, 1, and 2 are
included in Product Structure Diagram to indicate the three manufacturing stages that are involved in producing
an engine: The Engine Assembly Department, the Sub-Assembly Department, and the Machine Shop.
The manufacturing lead times required to produce the Gear Box and the Input Shaft components are also
indicated in the product structure diagram. Note that two weeks are required to produce a batch of Gear Boxes
and that all of the Gear Boxes must be delivered to the assembly line parts stockroom before Monday morning of
the week in which they are to be used. Likewise, it takes three weeks to produce a lot of Input Shafts, and all of
the shafts that are needed for the production of Gear Boxes in a given week must be delivered to the Sub
Assembly Department stockroom before Monday morning of that week.
In preparing the MRP example, Phil planned to use the worksheets and to make the following assumptions:
1. Seventeen Gear Boxes are on hand at the beginning of week 1 and five Gear Boxes are currently on order to
be delivered at the start of week 2.
2. Forty Input Shafts are on hand at the start of week 1 and 22 scheduled for delivery at the beginning of week 2 .
4. BURNSWICK MOTORS, INC - AN INTRODUCTORY CASE FOR MRP
Assignment
1. Initially, assume that Phil wants to minimize his inventory requirements. Assume that each order will be on the
for what is required for a single period. Using the following forms, calculate the net requirement and planned
order releases for the gearbox and input shafts. Assume that lot sizing is done using lot-for-lot.
2. Phil would like to consider the cost that his accountants are currently using for inventory carrying and setup
for the gearboxes and input shafts. These costs are as follows:
Part Cost
Gear Box Setup = $ 90/order
Inventory carrying cost = $ 2 /unit/week
Input Shaft Setup = $ 45/order
Inventory carrying cost = $ 1 /unit/week
Given the cost structure, evaluate the cost of schedule form (1). Assume inventory is valued at the end of each
week.
3. Calculate a schedule using least-total-cost lot sizing. What are the savings with this new schedule ?

5. Definitions Of Terms
Item : Name or number for the item being scheduled
Low level code : The lowest level of the item on the product structure file
Lot size : Order multiplies of quantity
Lead time : The time from when an order is placed to when it is required
PD : Past due time or Bucket order behind schedule
Gross requirement : Total expected demand for an item in a time period.
Scheduled receipt : Material already ordered
Projected available balance : Expected ending inventory.
Net requirement : The actual amount needed in each time period.
Planned order receipt : Quantity expected to be received by the beginning of the period
or Net requirements adjusted for lot size.
Planned order releases : Planned order receipts offset by lead time.
6. Formulae
Gross requirement = Forecasted demand period by period
Net requirement (t) = Gross requirement (t) – Projected inventory (t - 1) – Scheduled receipt (t)
Projected inventory (t) = Projected inventory (t - 1) + Scheduled receipt (t) +
Planned order receipt (t) – Gross requirement (t)
Planned order releases (t - LT) = Planned order receipt (t)
Total cost = Carrying cost + Setup cost
(Carrying cost = Holding Cost, Setup cost = Ordering Cost)
t = current .
t -1 = previous .
LT = lead time .
12. Conclusion
Least Total Cost Method (LTC) : a dynamic lot sizing technique that calculates the order quantity
by comparing the carrying cost and the setup cost for various lot sizes and then selects the lot in
which these are most nearly equal.
Total cost using lot -- for – lot
Gear Box = 728
Input Shaft = 321
Total Cost = 1049

Gear Box = 626
