Implementing Manufacturing and Materials Management: From Empty Plant to Costed Work Order · Module 8 · Item Structures

Lab: three levels, with yield

Lesson 86 of 188 · 2 min

An hour, against a Halden finished assembly. A three-level structure: finished good, two sub-assemblies, purchased components. Yield configured on at least two components, with realistic loss percentages — realistic, because three per cent on a gasket is realistic and forty is not, and the acceptance criteria include hand-verifying the arithmetic. Supply types set deliberately, with a written note on which are backflushed and why — deliberately, which means the note is the deliverable and the setting is the consequence. One phantom item, with a justification. One substitute component with priority. Structures loaded in bulk from the pack, with all three seeded errors diagnosed. Evidence: an indented multi-level view, and a where-used view from a shared component. And the last one, which is unusual: a written note distinguishing which parts of your structure came from engineering and which would need validating on the shop floor. That last criterion asks you to
