Bill of material processing

What is meant by Bill of material processing?

The term "Bill of Materials (BOM) processing" refers to the process of managing, editing, and utilizing BOMs within a company. A BOM is a detailed list of all materials, components, and assemblies required to manufacture a final product. BOM processing encompasses all activities necessary to create, maintain, and use these lists to ensure efficient production planning and control.

Typical software functions in the area of "BOM processing":

  1. BOM Creation: Creating and defining BOMs for various products, including hierarchies and quantities of individual parts.
  2. BOM Management: Managing and updating BOMs to reflect changes in design, materials, or production processes.
  3. Version Control: Tracking and managing different versions of a BOM to ensure the current version is always used.
  4. BOM Analysis: Analyzing BOMs to identify optimization potential and cost savings.
  5. Integration with ERP Systems: Linking BOMs with other modules in the ERP system, such as purchasing, inventory management, and production planning.
  6. Automatic Order Generation: Generating orders for needed materials based on BOMs and current inventory levels.
  7. Cost Calculation and Analysis: Calculating production costs based on BOMs and current material costs.
  8. Simulation and Scenario Planning: Conducting simulations and scenarios to assess the impact of changes in the BOM.
  9. Assembly Management: Managing sub-assemblies and their relationship to the main BOM.
  10. Availability Check: Checking the availability of all required materials and components before production.

Examples of "BOM processing":

  1. Electronic Component List: A detailed list of all electronic components used in a device.
  2. Production BOM: A comprehensive listing of all raw materials, semi-finished goods, and assemblies for a specific finished product.
  3. Spare Parts BOM: A list of spare parts needed for the maintenance and repair of a product.
  4. Multi-Level BOM: A hierarchical structure showing how individual components are assembled into sub-assemblies and finally into the end product.
  5. Assembly BOM: A BOM specifically created for a sub-assembly of a larger product.
  6. Sales BOM: A list of products and components sold as a complete package to the customer.
  7. Service BOM: A BOM listing all parts and materials needed to perform service and maintenance tasks.
  8. Production Planning BOM: A BOM specifically used for production planning and control to coordinate the required materials and resources.
