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,

1

spring,

and

4

clamps. The base is assembled from

1

clamp

and

1

housing.

Each clamp has

1

handle and

1

casting.

Each housing has

1

bearing

and

1

shaft.

There is no inventory on hand.

This exercise contains only parts b and c.

The product structure is as follows:

A rectangle at the top center is labeled Bracket. Three branches originate from this rectangle and connect the rectangle to three rectangles. The first rectangle is labeled Base (1), the second rectangle is labeled Spring (1), and the third rectangle is labeled Clamp (4). Two branches originate from rectangle Base (1) and connect the rectangle to two other rectangles labeled Clamp (1) and Housing (1). Two branches originate from rectangle Clamp (4) and connect the rectangle to two other rectangles labeled Handle (1) and Casting (1). Two branches originate from rectangle Clamp (1) and connect the rectangle to two other rectangles labeled Handle (1) and Casting (1). Two branches originate from rectangle Housing (2) and connect the rectangle to two other rectangles labeled Bearing (1) and Shaft (1).
