The Gozinto chart is a vertical tree diagram that displays hierarchical levels of detail of a complete product assembly to ship process. Developed by A. Vazsonyi, this project planning tool is of great value for kitting, bill of materials (BOM) auditing, parts/number identification, and operator training.
To breakdown a product into its parts.
To flow out the assembly process.
To cross-reference parts data with the hierarchical levels of assembly.

Gozinto chart numbering is by levels and BOM or part identification number. Example: 3015: 3 for level 3, 015 for bill of material or part ID number.
This is a similar approach to the work breakdown structure (WBS) chart.
STEP 1 List all parts required to completely assemble the product.
STEP 2 Draw a hierarchy of assembly, showing levels of detail from the top down to the basic level of parts.
STEP 3 Provide identification of parts; name and number each part charted.
STEP 4 Check completeness of chart and date.
