BOM

지금 다니고 있는 회사가 제조업체라서 그런지 가끔씩 여기저기서 '봄' 이란 말을 많이 듣는다.

뭐~ 굳이 제조업체 뿐만 아니라 다른 곳에서도 많이 쓰이는 용어이긴 하지만...

정리를 좀 해보면...

BOM이란 Bill Of Material 의 약자로, 자재계산서로 보면 된다.

즉, 특정 제품이 어떤 부품들고 구성되어 있고, 그 부품들은 어떤 자재로 만들어지는가에 대한 데이터인 것이다. 그리고 이런 정보들을 주루룩 엮어서 보면 하나의 제품의 상세한 명세서가 되는 것이다.

회사내에서는 당연히 대외비로 통하며, 제품의 단가, 판가, 매출 등의 가장 기본적인 지표가 된다.

참고로, 위키에 나오는 내용은 다음과 같다. 문제는 영어다.. ㅎㅎ

Bill of materials (BOM) is a list of the raw materials, sub-assemblies, intermediate assemblies, sub-components, components, parts and the quantities of each needed to manufacture an end item (final product) .^[1] .^[2]

It may be used for communication between manufacturing partners,^[3] or confined to a single manufacturing plant.

A BOM can define products as they are designed (engineering bill of materials), as they are ordered (sales bill of materials), as they are built (manufacturing bill of materials), or as they are maintained (service bill of materials). The different types of BOMs depend on the business need and use for which they are intended. In process industries, the BOM is also known as the formula, recipe, or ingredients list. In electronics, the BOM represents the list of components used on the printed wiring board or printed circuit board. Once the design of the circuit is completed, the BOM list is passed on to the PCB layout engineer as well as component engineer who will procure the components required for the design.

BOMs are hierarchical in nature with the top level representing the finished product which may be a sub-assembly or a completed item. BOMs that describe the sub-assemblies are referred to as modular BOMs. An example of this is the NAAMS BOM that is used in the automative industry to list all the components in an assembly line. The structure of the NAAMS BOM is System, Line, Tool, Unit and Detail.

The first hierarchical databases were developed for automating bills of materials for manufacturing organizations in the early 1960s.^[4]

A bill of materials "implosion" links component pieces to a major assembly, while a bill of materials "explosion" breaks apart each assembly or sub-assembly into its component parts.

A BOM can be displayed in the following formats:

• A single-level BOM that displays the assembly or sub-assembly with only one level of children. Thus it displays the components directly needed to make the assembly or sub-assembly.^[5]
• An indented BOM that displays the highest-level item closest to the left margin and the components used in that item indented more to the right.^[1]
• Modular (planning) BOM

A BOM can also be visually represented by a product structure tree, although they are rarely used in the workplace.^[1]
