MANUFACTURING MASTER DATA

BOM management and BOP process standardization

A BOM (Bill of Materials) defines the raw materials, intermediate items, and quantities a product needs. A BOP (Bill of Process) connects those materials to the sequence used to make it.

Benefits on the factory floor

Accurate BOM requirements

Standardize raw materials, intermediate items, and quantities for material planning.

Consistent BOP routing

Connect sequence, BOM, equipment, process area, and duration into one routing standard.

Reusable production standards

Apply the same BOM and BOP to production plans and work orders.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between BOM and BOP?

BOM defines what materials and quantities are needed. BOP defines the process sequence and operating standards used to manufacture the product.

How do BOM and BOP support planning?

The BOM drives material requirements, while the BOP supplies the process structure and work sequence for the production plan.
