Product Z Requires 1 unit of A and 5 units of B which means for 500 units we need 500 units of A &2500 units of B
A unit Requires 3 unit of C and 4 units of D which means for 500 units of A we will need 1500units (500*3) of C and 2000 (500*4) units of D
D unit Requires 2 units of E which means for 2000 units of D we would need 4000 units (2000*2)
Qty needed 500 500 2500 1500 2000 4000
Item Z A B C D E
On hand 400 900
Safety stock 200 300
Allocated 200
Scheduled 200 in week1 200 in week1
Actual Qty needed for week8 500 500 1900 1300 1800 2800
Week 10 500 500 2500 1500 2000 4000
Please Note
1 IT is asssumed that the allocated stock is for the product Z itself
2 We would need safety stock in hand hence while calculating the actual stock required that is excluded
3 Actual Qty required is calculated after removing the on hand, allocated and scheduled stock
4 Week 10 it is assumed that there is no in hand , allocated abd scheduled stock
