Product A is made from 2 Bs and 1 C. Lead times for A, B, and C are 2, 3, and 2 weeks respectively. Currently there are 2 Bs and a 5 Cs on hand, with 5 of each scheduled to arrive at the end of week 1. If 20 As are needed during week 4, can the order be completed (it is the start of week 0 currently)?

Final Answer :
To produce 20 As requires 40 Bs and 20 Cs at the start of week 2. Since the lead time for B is greater than 2 weeks the order cannot be completed on time.
