A Bill of Materials (BOM) is a list of the components and materials needed to build a product.

A Bill of Materials (BOM) is a comprehensive list of components, parts, and assemblies required to build a product. It is used in product management to define the structure of a product and its components. A BOM typically includes the item number, description, quantity, and other relevant information about each component. It can also include information about the supplier, cost, and lead time for each component. The BOM is used to track inventory levels and ensure that all components are available when needed for production. It also helps with planning and scheduling production activities. Additionally, it can be used to identify potential problems with the design or manufacturing process before they become costly issues.
