What is a BOM?
BOM is an abbreviated name for “Bill of Materials”. It is an extensive list of the raw materials, parts, sub-assemblies, sub-components, and all their quantities needed to manufacture a product, and also express a structure of product. It displays the hierarchical structure of parts at single level and multiple level. It serves as the core of MONOZUKURI because it consists of all information required to assemble and manufacture a product.
