Narrative:

Relatively new RNAV arrivals into oak resulted in FMC commanded airspeeds exceeding the below class B 200 knot speed limit requiring pilot action to prevent exceeding the limit. (Pilot action we accomplished on this and other recent flights into oak.) is it possible to adjust the FMC speeds to comply with the class B airspeed limits at the appropriate point on the arrival?
