Time-phased product structure:
The end product is the fan which must be ready at week 7. All the other components must be completed on week 6. The components at the lower level must be completed first before proceeding to the higher levels. Each component at each level is begun depending on the lead time of the product.
The products are started in advance so that they are developed and ready on time so that the dependent parent will be ready to develop its product. The process is repeated until all the subassemblies are ready to make the final product.
c)
To develop: A net requirements plan.
Introduction:
Net requirements plan:
The net requirements plan is the plan which is established on the gross requirements plan formed by deducting the stock on and the scheduled receipts. If the total requirement is below the safety stock levels, a planned order is made based on the given lot sizing technique.
