BOM is a very important table tool, which is a detailed bill of materials, including components, raw materials and various ingredients needed for product processing. This technical document that defines product structure in data format is bill of materials, and BOM is one of the core documents in the processing process, which is closely related to design, technology, procurement and production.
BOM is an important input data in MRPⅱⅱ system, and it is also an important basis for financial department to calculate costs and manufacturing department to organize production. Therefore, BOM has the greatest influence and requires the highest accuracy. It is very important to use and maintain BOM correctly during the operation of management system.
In addition, BOM is an important interface between CIMS/MIS/MRP II/ERP, CAD, CAPP and other subsystems, and it is the key point of system integration. Therefore, when using computer to realize BOM management, we should fully consider the information exchange between it and other subsystems.
Functions of BOM table
1. In terms of production planning, the information of raw materials and various ingredients contained in BOM provides data support for production planning. Through BOM, production planners can clearly understand the processing preparation information, so as to make a better production plan.
2. Purchasing: Updating the details of material information contained in the BOM table synchronously with the purchasing department can help them make purchasing plans and find suitable suppliers, thus saving production costs better.
3. Production technology: Through the BOM table, we can know the characteristics and composition of each product, so as to carry out production and processing more accurately and improve product quality.
