Bill Of Material explosion

I need to determine the maximum number of a given item number we can make
based on current inventory level of the components.

I have a program that can explode the BOM using a recursive call and I can
easily take the components it comes up with & see how many we have. The
issue becomes when one of the components is a sub-assembly.

Example:
level Item Qty per
1 9672-02 1.000
.2 5156 1.000
.2 4993 1.000

We may only show 1 of the 9672-02 on-hand, but we have enough of the 5156
and 4993 to make 10. So we potentially have a qty of 11 of 9672-02 (1
currently in inventory + 10 that we could make).

The sub-assemblies may have sub-assemblies which complicates this even
further.

Anyone ever tackled this type of logic?
