Materials List Revisited

[gteacher]

Lew:

Quantity does not make anything complex. It's more important as to how the components mesh to create the final solution. In fact, a break down of tasks is considered the best design approach. Chief just tries to over automate without paying much attention to how well the components function together . Kind of like trying to build a car with a thousand unreliable parts.

Nothing about Materials in Chief is that complicated but few components are designed to work seamlessly toward a end product. Because Chief's base approach is not that complex only means the needed changes (fixes) are not that complicated either. This is basically a classical database problem, of which, I know there are a number of people here who could resolve if Chief was really interested.
