Pick a product (make sure your product consists of 5 or more parts) and conduct a parts explosion exercise. You have flexibility on how to demonstrate this using any type of diagram you want. Then, create a bill of materials (BOM) chart for the product you chose. You can use figure 15.3 in your textbook to help you.
For this assignment, you are NOT writing a paper. You are creating a presentation using PowerPoint and adding audio for each slide. Based on the work you completed, explain your product and your approach to completing the parts explosion and BOM. Also, discuss what are important points of consideration the organization that produces the product should understand about the product you selected. Also, discuss what the organization could do to improve sales of the product based on what you understand now after completing this exercise. Does the organization’s MRP philosophy need to change? You don’t have information about the company’s operations but you have the flexibility to be creative with the facts.
Your presentation should have a title page that explains who you are and has the title of your presentation. You should have a references page. Remember, references need to be in APA format and should not be in bullet format. They should look exactly like references that are at the end of any paper that you write. The presentation should be 5 to 10 slides. Remember, a professional presentation is meant to be brief in terms of the wording and there shouldn’t be paragraphs. Don’t just read off your slides. Act as if you are presenting to an organization’s leadership. Therefore your slides should have brief bullet points that have 4 to 8 words. Any additional details that you feel are relevant should be added to the notes section of that particular slide so you don’t have a lot of writing on your slides. Also, remember for any of the figures or diagrams that you have, you need to make sure that you add them to your slide presentation as well and clearly identify them. Again, any additional details that you feel will help your argument should be added to the notes section.
Lastly, each of your slides needs to be narrated by you explaining your presentation to the audience.
