17.8.2 Exercise: Different Forms of Representing Where-Used Lists

Intended learning outcomes: Identify various types of where-used lists, given a graphical representation of the bill of material of two products.



On the basis of Figure 17.8.1.1, derive all types of where-used lists following the forms of representation in Section 17.2.3:

  • All single-level where-used lists
  • Multilevel where-used list for component 1
  • Summarized where-used list for component 1
  • Arborescent structure of the multilevel where-used list of component 1 (hint: it looks similar to Figure 17.8.1.1)

How can where-used lists be derived from bills of material?
