3. Introduction By definition Bill Of Material (BOM) means: • A centralized source of information used to manufacture a product. • Denotes a list of raw materials, sub-assemblies, sub- components, parts and the quantities of each needed to manufacture an end product. • An engineering term that completely showcases the design of a product. Manufacturers that build products start the assembly process by creating a BOM. • Includes detailed instructions on how to assemble the product – from inception to the finished product ready for shipping – including all the packaging, labeling etc. Add a footer 3

4. Types of BOM Single-Level BOM • The simplest list for manufacturing a product. • Can be used where there are no complex processing steps or sub-assemblies. Multi-Level BOM • The list not only contains the final assembly items but also the materials and quantities used in every step below. • Allows creation of parent/child relationships and can generate more complex and accurate costing down to the raw material stage. 4

5. Challenges faced without a BOM Absence of BOM results in: • Poorer material planning • Material shortages • Inaccurate product costing • Raised production costs • Frequent delays in shipments • Lost sales • Increased risk of product liability • And, lastly – Halts during production 5

6. Why is BOM important in manufacturing ? • To avoid stock-outs of materials used in production • To manufacture a product that is cost-effective and within budget • To ensure better planning • To gain better analytics and data insights • To save time by diminishing manual process and reduce overhead costs • To unite all departments with one-source of information • To provide consistency in all business operations 6

7. BatchMaster ERPs Bill of Material • BOM is the Master Data in the Production Planning function of Manufacturing and central repository for other functions • The bill of material functionality helps manufacturer know the complete hierarchy of the product from start to finish • Allows the user to define a product structure with all the essential information about the nodes, i.e. the parent master data in the list to all the sub-ordinate ones • The composition also includes intermediate nodes, if any before creating an end product • Begins with defining the base quantity product that is to be produced, followed by linking various components relative to the base quantity • Every item of the BOM comprises of - Item Number, Code, Name, Description along with Quantity, and Unit of Measurement • It helps to manage and oversee resources, identify materials to reduce wastage with accurate information, and facilitates better decision making to manufacture cost-effective & efficient products. 7

8. Types of BOM BatchMaster ERP Offers • Container BOM: - Used by bulk manufacturers - Especially, when they manufacture in bulk and sell it in different unit of measurements • Intermediate BOM: - Links formula to a particular item location - No packaging is required for an intermediate item - Created in the mid stage i.e. after the raw materials are processed and an intermediate(co-product/by-product) is formed • Finished Good BOM: - Links formula to an item location - The packaging items and their quantities are also defined - Created for a finished good manufactured • Assembly BOM: - Used for discrete items - Allows the assembling of the final product 8
