About 15 minutes · 3 reading + 12 practice and checks
Time includes reading, practice, and questions. Extra videos or further study are optional.

A two-level paper bill-of-materials explosion, net material requirement sheet, batch release decision and revised production packet for fictional stationery kits.

Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.

What to include

  • Save a v1 gross-material explosion grouped by component; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Net loose stock and save the dependency calculation; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Write a Day3 shortage register with excluded supply reasons; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Save the dated dependency schedule and late-order flag; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Save the v2 shortage with EC2 link and superseded v1 value; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Assemble the versioned manufacturing-planning packet; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.

Review and revise

Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.

  • The final packet uses the supplied task-specific constraints and all six records agree.
  • Every result can be traced to an identifier, input, calculation or stated decision rule.
  • Changed-case practice updates dependent records and keeps holds or uncertainty visible.
  • The packet states the learner role, authority boundary and specific next verification needed before real work.

The idea in everyday life

Original fictional workplace practice; paper or a local document is sufficient. The rules and records below are supplied for this exercise, not asserted universal workplace policy. Spruce needs 10 K. Usable stock: 2 finished K, 3 A, 1 T, 20 C, 10 P. No reservations, safety stock or scheduled receipts yet. v1 hierarchy: K=2 A+1 T; A=3 C+2 P; T=2 C.

The idea

Netting must occur at the level where usable stock exists; stocked assemblies already contain their components and should not be exploded again.

Net finished and intermediate stock in dependency order — worked practice

Netting must occur at the level where usable stock exists; stocked assemblies already contain their components and should not be exploded again.

Spruce needs 10 K. Usable stock: 2 finished K, 3 A, 1 T, 20 C, 10 P. No reservations, safety stock or scheduled receipts yet. v1 hierarchy: K=2 A+1 T; A=3 C+2 P; T=2 C. Use paper or a local document. Preserve the original case and make a separate changed-case record.

  1. 1. Step 1

    Net finished K first.

    You should see: 10 demand−2 usable K=8 K to build.

    Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.

  2. 2. Step 2

    Expand only those eight K and net intermediate stock.

    You should see: 16 A−3=13 A to build; 8 T−1=7 T to build.

    Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.

  3. 3. Step 3

    Explode only the new intermediate assemblies.

    You should see: 13 A×3+7 T×2=53 C; 13 A×2=26 P.

    Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.

  4. 4. Step 4

    Net loose stock and save the dependency calculation.

    You should see: 33 C and 16 P are needed; finished/intermediate stock was netted before child explosion.

    Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.

Now change one thing

Usable A stock is 5 instead of 3, with everything else unchanged. How many loose C must be obtained?

Your work

What to finish

Net loose stock and save the dependency calculation; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.

Common mistake

Watch for this

Exploding components for assemblies that are already usable in stock.

How can I tell I understand it?

Using the supplied identifiers, I can net loose stock and save the dependency calculation. My changed-case record names the revised condition and explains which dependent decision it changes.
