Marko Shioda, master scheduler at Randall Manufacturing Company, prepared the following MPS for one of the firm's major end products, the Genuine Whatcha Macallit.

Week # 1 2 3

MPS 150 120 50

Mariko is concerned about this schedule's impact on Widgets. It takes 3 Widgets to make each WhatchaMacalit. The two bottleneck work centers for producing Widgets are the "paint" work center and also the "final test" work center. The production manager has indicated that testing each Widget requires 0.3 hours and painting each Widget requires. 5 hours. Calculate the labor hours needed (rough-cut capacity analysis) for the "paint" work center. Week # 1 2 3Widget paint

    MPS Week 1 = 150

    It takes 3 widgets for 1 WhatchaMacalit.

    Widgets required Week 1 = 150 * 3 = 450

    Painting hours required Week 1 = 450*0.5 = 225 hours

    Painting hours required Week 2 = 120*3*0.5 = 180 hours

    Similarly, Week 3 = 75 hours

    Week # 1 2 3

    Widget paint 225 180 75
