Bill of Materials (BOM)

A Bill of Materials (BOM) is a comprehensive list detailing all materials, components, and sub-assemblies required to manufacture a product.

It includes quantities, part numbers, and descriptions necessary for production.

A BOM serves as the foundation for planning, procurement, and production. It ensures that all parts needed for a product are available and in the correct quantities. Errors in a BOM can lead to production delays or defects.

For example, a furniture manufacturer would use a BOM to list all the wood, screws, and finishing materials needed to build a chair.

Relatico assists in managing and sharing BOMs with suppliers to ensure that all necessary components are clearly communicated and understood.
