Which listing shows every parent item that calls for a given component and the respective quantity required from the BOM file?

• A. Yield
• B. Where-used list
• C. Work cell
• D. Work order

Answer: (B)

This question is about how to view how a component is used across the bill of materials. The listing that shows every parent item that calls for a given component and the quantity required for each parent comes from the where-used list. This report traverses the BOM to identify every item that includes the component as a part and, for each parent, the amount of that component needed per unit of the parent (and often the total quantity depending on the BOM data). It’s especially useful for assessing how changes to a component or shortages will ripple through all products that use it, since you can see exactly which assemblies rely on it and in what quantities.

The other options don’t provide this cross-item usage information. A yield figure relates to the proportion of good units produced versus rejects; a work cell is about how workstations are arranged for flow; a work order is an instruction to produce a specific quantity of items. None of these directly list every parent item and the required amounts for a given component.
