As the production planner for Xiangling Hu Products Inc.

, you have been given a bill of material for a


bracket that is made up of a base, two springs, and four clamps. The base is assembled from one clamp
two housings. Each clamp has one handle and one casting. Each housing has two bearings and one shaf
There is no inventory on hand.

a. Design a product structure noting the quantities for each item and show the low-level coding.

A Bracket A
B Base
C Springs (2)
B(1) C(2)
D Clamps (4)
E Housing (2)
F Handle
G Casting
D(1) E(2)
H Bearings (2)
I Shaf
F(1) G(1) H(2) I(1)

b. Determine the gross quantities needed of each item if you are to assemble 50 brackets.

A 50 Brackets 50
B (1)(50) = 50 1*A
C (2)(50) = 100 2*A
D (4)(50) + (1)(50)= 250 4*A+1*B
E (2)(50) = 100 2*B
F (1)(250) = 250 1*D
G (1)(250) = 250 1*D
H (2)(100) = 200 2*E
I (1)(100) = 100 1*E

c. Compute the net quantities needed if there are 25 of the base and 100 of the clamp in stock.

A 50 Brackets 50
B (1)(50)-25 = 25 1*A-25
C (2)(50) = 100 2*A
D (4)(50) + (1)(25)-100= 125 4*A+1*B-100
E (2)(25) = 50 2*B
F (1)(125) = 125 1*D
G (1)(125) = 125 1*D
H (2)(50) = 100 2*E
I (1)(50) = 50 1*E
