I have done apps like that for costing purposes of the assemblies.  
You can have a table related to itself, and that can allow you to build say a Tier 2 Assembly out of other Assemblies and perhaps also some extra components.

Then you can use that in a higher level Assembly and if you go high enough, I guess eventually you would have the whole car.

That's ultimately what they want to get out of the application. We know the labor side(thanks to the first app) and a round-about number of the material side due to varying nature of every machine. It takes a lot of man-hours to count the components on a machine (purchased or built in-house). 

I forgot the mention cost: TJ wants to reflect varying costs changes in purchased components into the overall cost of the machine.

Thank you for the tip!
