Gozinto Chart
INTRODUCTION
Gozinto Chart named after an Italian mathematician Professor Zepartzat Gozinto is from the word ‘goes into’ is used to provide overall microview of how materials and subassemblies are united to form finished products. It is often called Assembly chart (Shim and Siegel, 1999) In other words, it is a pictorial representation of a product that shows how the elements required to build a product fit together.
Gozinto Chart is a schematic model that defines how parts go together, the order of assembly, and the overall structure of the product. This chart is ideal for getting a bird’s eye view of the process for producing most assembled products. It lists all major materials and components, subassembly operations, inspections and assembly operations. This chart is sometimes called Assembly chart (National Institute of Technology Calicut, 2007).
Product Structure Diagram: It includes all of the information typically included in the parts list as well as information concerning the structure of the product. This diagram provides the details on the components and assemblies required for making the product.
It may also be known as bill of material. It contains the information such as, in what sequence these items (An item may be component, subassembly or final assembly.) are required, and how many units of components are required to produce the parent item together with the lead-time. Product structure is an input for several planning function especially for Material Requirements Planning (MRP). Product structure is a level by level representation. Parts used to make items in a level are represented in a lower level (Boysen, Fieldner and Scholl, 2006).
Higher level is represented with a lower number. The level by level representation shows a parent-child relationship. The end item is represented at level zero. Gozinto procedures is the Gozinto graph as alternative representation of the product arrangement. Knots are to be regarded as parts or building group,
