Correction to text:
o
Use 22 units rather than 44 units mentioned in the question
Considering that the lot size of 25 being used, a single order of 44 units cannot be orders using the current schedule. However, if the order can be spread over 2 weeks, the earliest is week 5 and 6.
An order of 22 units can be promised on week 3 at the earliest.
