MISY 5340 Ch. 6 Production Planning
Single-level BOM - answer only shows Materials/Assemblies to make that one product
Multi-level BOM - answer includes ALL Materials needed for production including
Assembly components
Variant BOM - answer Several products with a large proportion of identical parts.
Nesting - answer refers to a hierarchy in which a component in a bill of material has its
own bill of material.
BOM formula - answer includes list of ingredients needed to create a specified quantity
of the product
BOM Header - answer data that apply to the entire BOM, such as the material number,
description, plant, usage, validity, status, and base quantity.
BOM Material number - answer(in the header) identifies the finished good or semi
finished good described in the BOM.
BOM validity date - answer appropriate when changes are planned for a future date, for
example, due to changes in the product design.
BOM usage - answeridentifies the purpose for which the BOM can be used
BOM active status - answercan be used in the production of a material
BOM Inactive Status - answercan't be used in the production of a material
Item Category - answeridentifies the type of material and influences how the material is
to be used in the BOM
Common Item Categories: - answer• Stock Item
• Non-stock Item
• Variable Material - Sheet of steel
• Document Item
• Text Item
Stock item (L) - answermaterial for which stock or inventory is maintained; therefore, it
must have a material master.
, Nonstock Item (N) - answerwhich inventory is not maintained; therefore, it does not
need a material master defined.
Variable-size material (R) - answer• available in different sizes represented by the same
material number
• data concerning the needed size or dimension must be specified in the BOM
text item (T) - answer• used to include notes and comments within the BOM. • Notes
may explain how to use the material or identify any unusual assembly requirements.
document item (D) - answerused to include documents such as engineering drawings,
assembly instructions, and photographs.
class items (K) - answer• used in variant BOMs to identify a group of items
• placeholder for an actual item that must be specified when the BOM is used
intra material (M) (or phantom items) - answer• a logically grouped set of materials that
could collectively be considered as a single material.
• material is created temporarily during production, between two sub-processes, and is
immediately consumed as production continues.
Variant BOMs - answerused to create multiple versions or variants of the same material
rather than prepare a separate BOM for each version
Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) - answer
Both MRP and work scheduling is defined at the ______ level. - answerplant
Material Master Data is grouped into different views based on: - answer► the process
that uses the materials
► the material type (raw materials, finished goods)
► organizational level (different plants that use material differently)
Additional views relevant to production - answer►material requirements planning
► work scheduling
Basic Data View - answercontains data that can be applied to all processes, material
types, and organizational levels
Production Resource Tools (PRT) - answer• movable resources that are shared among
different work centers
└ examples: calibration or measurement instruments, jigs and fixtures, and documents
such as engineering drawings
Work Centers - answer• a location where value-added work needed to produce a
material is carried out.
