CONCLUSION:

Bicycle is a finished product that is composed of complex interior and exterior parts. It is
amazing to know the major components and its subassemblies behind this activity. Now, I have
learned that behind what we see in a single product, know that it is composed of different
components to assemble and function it properly. The product structure tree helps us to visualize
major and minor components of a bicycle unit as it dissects the whole thing to see its true
structure. This will be a helpful tool for entrepreneurs especially when it is a start-up period as it
will not only dissect the product’s components but also to know the costs of each components.
