The structure bill of materials structural overview contains all parts in a structure structured according to production levels. It corresponds in its informatonsgehalt the product tree. The structure is represented by the indication of the manufacturing level (construction stage) and for the sake of a better overview with the help of outline characters, such as points or spaces. For each parent part number, the directly subordinate part numbers must be specified immediately afterwards. The quantities refer to a unit of measure of the directly superior part number. Advantages of the structure bill of materials structural overview:
- The product structure and the production process are recognizable without any additional aids.
- The material disposition can be carried out gradually and thus more accurately and cost-effectively than with the quantity overview bill of materials structural overview.
- a phased termination is possible.
Disadvantages of the structure bill of materials structural overview:
- multiple performance of repetitive parts and their structure.
The structure of self-made parts and assemblies, which are needed on different levels or in different products, must be specified again with each repeated use. This leads to a relatively high storage effort and a high error rate when entering and changing the corresponding structural data.
- The structure BOM of complex goods is confusing.
They tell the company Wirber & Mirbler the construction value of the products, which then results in the analysis then again three additional long-digit final knife results per building value.
