The Bill of Materials (BOM) is an essential document in any production process, providing a detailed, organized inventory of the individual components needed to build a product. It is essentially a master list of all of the parts and materials that are required by your company to assemble and manufacture a given product. The BOM also provides essential information about each item such as the quantity and dimensions required, as well as the vendor and location of where it can be purchased. By having this information readily available, companies are better equipped to control costs, ensure quality, and keep track of inventory levels at all times. By utilizing a BOM your business can create a streamlined and efficient production system with reduced lead time and improved efficiency.
