Edition 8ISBN: 978-0134156323 Exercise 4
Following is the information about Polybob model A that Ken suggested as a representative model to use for the analysis: 
The following are the master schedule production lots for Model A:
Complete 50 units, week 3
Complete 50 units, week 5
Complete 60 units, week 7
Complete 60 units, week 9
Complete 50 units, week 11
Upon seeing this information, Jim stated, "Look at how regular our production schedule is for this model. The reorder points will more than cover requirements, and none have lead times that make it tough to respond. This analysis should show that all the work I did on EOQ and reorder points was right, and the real problem lies with those sales and finance people who don't understand our production needs."
Suppose it was discovered that only 250 of component E were in stock instead of the 300 listed on the inventory record. What problems would this cause (if any), and what are some of the ways that these problems could be addressed? How would (if at all) MRP help you when other methods might not?
