Net requirements?

ITEM DESCRIPTION USAGE X Bracket assembly 1 A Wall board 5 B Hanger subassembly 2 D Hanger casting 2 E Ceramic knob 1 C Rivet head screw 4 F Metal tong 3 G Plastic cap 1

Explanation / Answer

Following is the BOM:

If 137 units of X are required, so requirement for X is 137 - 30 = 107

then:

A = 5X - 20 = 515

B = 2X - 73 = 141

D = 2X - 200 = 14

E = 1X - 149 = -42 = 0 = net required

C = 4X - 22 = 406

F = 3X - 1000 = -679 = 0 = not required

G = 1X - 90 = 107 - 90 =17
