compile a BOM/parts list, using Excel, for ONE of the following sub-assemblies on one of the “Wright” Go-Kart’s in Newton G100.

Manufacturers rely on the information that is included in the bill of materials (BOM) to build a product. The bill of materials typically includes part names, part numbers, part materials and the quantities required to build an assembly.
To manage what can be a tremendous amount of information, companies often use either Excel spreadsheets or a dedicated BOM management system
Excel Spreadsheet and of Bills of Materials (BOMs)
The great thing about using spreadsheets for your bill of materials is that they are flexible and can be formatted however you like. The bad thing about using spreadsheets for BOM’s is that they are flexible and anyone can format them however they like, often resulting in inconsistencies.
Your assignment is to compile a BOM/parts list, using Excel, for ONE of the following sub-assemblies on one of the “Wright” Go-Kart’s in Newton G100.
1. The Steering mechanism (To include everything from the steering wheel to the two front road wheels. Including the steering wheel and road wheels).
2. The Braking system (to include everything from brake pedal to the Disc, see figure 1. Including the brake pedal and brake disc), or
3. The rear axle (To include everything between the two rear wheels. Including the wheels)
You are not allowed to dis-assemble the Go-Kart so if you are unable to see/identify a part you will need to make assumptions and allocate appropriate values.
