EQUIPMENT BILL OF MATERIALS
EQUIPMENT BILL OF MATERIAL

A “Bill Of Material” (BOM) is a complete, formally structured list of components making up a technical object or an assembly. The list contains the object number of the individual components together with their quantity and unit of measure. The components can be stock or non-stock spares assemblies, which in turn can be described using maintenance BOMs.
BOM’s are primarily used for the following purposes:
Structure description
BOM describes the structure of a technical object or material. Using Maintainance BOMs maintenance tasks can be planned.
Assignment of spare parts
BOM is used in plant maintenance to assign spares for a technical object or material. This is shown in the figure below:
Trigger
A piece of maintenance equipment requires a bill of material for maintenance purposes. Whenever any equipment created we can create its BOM for Structuring. But before creating equipment BOM we need to create Material master.
