Intended learning outcomes: Differentiate between the single-level bill of material, the multilevel bill of material, and the summarized bill of material.
Continuation from previous subsection (17.2.3a).
A single-level bill of material shows all the components of a product.
Figure 17.2.3.3 shows the three single-level bills of material, each with two bill-of-material positions, as implicitly defined by the example in Figure 1.2.2.2.
Fig. 17.2.3.3 Single-level bills of material.
The multilevel bill of material or indented bill of material shows the structured composition of a product, across all the levels.
Figure 17.2.3.4 shows the indented bill of material for the example in Figure 1.2.2.2.
Fig. 17.2.3.4 Indented bill of material (multilevel bill of material).
In this form, the content corresponds exactly to the graphical representation of a product as a tree structure, again as shown in Figure 1.2.2.2.[note 1703] The quantity per is always the cumulative quantity of the component used at this point in the product (by way of contrast to the graphical form in Figure 1.2.2.2).[note 1704] An algorithm can also be used to generate a multilevel bill of material from the single-level bills of material.
The summarized bill of material is a condensed multilevel bill of material in which each component occurs only once, although the total quantity per is specified.
Figure 17.2.3.5 shows the summarized bill of material for the example in Figure 1.2.2.2.
Fig. 17.2.3.5 Summarized bill of material (condensed multilevel bill of material).
The quantity per is the cumulative quantity of components used in the product. A summarized bill of material is used for manual cost estimation or for quickly calculating the number of components to be bought for a lot of end products. A summarized bill of material can also be generated from the single-level bills of material using an algorithm.
Continuation in next subsection (17.2.3c).
