Analyze Component Summarize Where Used

Explanation

This activity is used to perform several analyses in order to identify which parts are suitable to set as buffered parts. Following attributes can be further evaluated which helps prior to setting a part as a buffered part:

• No of top most parent parts where the component is used.
• Whether the part exists in a critical path in structure.
• Cost of the part.
• Unprotected lead time of the part.

Use the Component Summarized Where Used page to identify which parts are suitable to set as buffered parts. Total where used quantities in the structure and number of connections is also available as information.

Prerequisites

Part cost calculation needs to have been performed and saved to cost set 1.
