Bill of Materials

A bill of materials lists the components and quantities expected to make a product. It may also need versions, units, substitutions and expected yield.

A worked example

A practical example to make the concept clear.

StepIllustrative record and result

Meaning and exceptionIf 13 legs are actually consumed, record the extra leg and its reason. Keep the approved version attached to the production order.

Why it matters
