Manufacturing-oriented BOM Reconfiguration Method

摘要

Bill of material (BOM) structures describe the component structure of a product. It is used and processed in the whole product lifecycle , and is the bridge for the product data integration among enterprise application . In the process of product development, product model is evolving and BOM is also changed. To keep the data among BOM views integrate, accurate and consistent, a general model of weighted diagraph of product BOM is developed . By establishing BOM structure model and defining the mapping rules of Virtual Component, Successive Component, Middle Component and Collaborative Component, an algorithm for BOM structure mapping is proposed based on single source of product data (SSPD). According to BOM multi-view mapping and SSPD, an integration model and application framework of the product design and the manufacturing process is given . Finally, a BOM management system named BomMan is provided , which indicates the validity and feasibility of this method. Thus , the reconfiguration from EBOM to MBOM could be realized.
