DATABASE APPLICATION - INVENTORY FOR DEPARTMENT DEMAND
Your stockroom manager, Yamil Bermudez, arrived at your desk just after you had completed the net requirements plan for product A (use data in Problem 14.15), exclaiming that the cycle counter should be fired. It seems that the cycle counter was wrong; there are three A's available now, not zero as the original data showed; moreover, five E's are also available. About then, your boss, Sam Melnyk, who overheard the discussion says, "You might as well extend the net requirements plan out to 16 weeks, because we just received an order for 10 more A's in week 12 and five more in week 15. Additionally, count on the field service department wanting three more B's in week 16, as well as those 10 units in week 8." You decide to use the lead time in Problem 14.15, but item G now has a lead time of 4 weeks.
Now you must prepare a new net requirements plan, based on the actual inventory (as reported) and the new schedule. Your assignment is to do so.
