1. What are two ideas from the readings that intrigued you, and why did they do that?
I thought it was interesting that the bill of materials almost looks like an assembly guide. It very
much reminded me of the instructions you get when you assemble things from IKEA.
I thought the engineering change order system was interesting. I have never really thought about
how much goes into changing small stuff like the BOM.
2. Did these readings challenge any of your leadership/management beliefs, how?
Did not challenge my beliefs but I thought it was difficult to fully understand the MRP system.
3. What didn’t the readings discuss that you would have liked them to, and why?
I wish it discussed in what industries engineering-change-order systems are most useful and if
there are any industries where it is not needed.
4. How might you apply some of the things you’ve learned though this reading?
I couldn’t find any way to apply the concepts from this reading to my own life.
Prepare three discussion questions from readings for class [use back if needed]
Which industries are in less need of an engineering-change-order system?
Are there any industries or businesses that do not need a bill of material?
