These operations model how each part of the bill-of-material is assembled to the final product.
With the motivation, this research develops a service bill-of-material (SBOM) from a product life cycle perspective.
This paper presents a feature-based approach for remanufacturability assessment using comprehensive CAD information, e.g., bill-of-material, mating features, tolerance and dimension, etc.
The bill-of-material for each configurable product might be different with each variant, which will result in different set of operations.
It also provides mechanisms to handle configuration rules that allow users to convert soft preferences into product specifications, bill-of-materials, and, furthermore, into logistics configurations.
At the very first step of the design process, designers propose various solutions for the set of variants of a product family and their bill-of-materials.
By its own nature, the order specific products often come without pre-defined bills-of-materials which undermines the starting point of prevailing inventory planning methods.
My products require complex recipe formulation, and in some cases, hundreds of bill-of-material subassemblies.
To manufacturers, this means lower bill-of-materials and more internal real estate available to other components.
Digitimes' sources stated that the current cost of components makes the target difficult with a 13-inch's bill-of-materials generally around $690.
