You are the branch operations manager for a leading manufacturing 
company. The following are the bill of materials (BOM), Master Production

  are ordered at the appropriate time.

Create a report to present the results to your area head. Your 
analysis should include the following:

• How did you arrive at the appropriate quantity 
  of materials to be ordered or made?

  appropriate quantities are ordered at a particular time?
• How will your measures ensure the availability 
  of the materials on hand for production?
