A manufacturing BOM is used during production. It lists the components and assemblies, including packaging, required to make a shippable product and considers waste and materials used during the manufacturing process.
An MBOM outlines the work required on product components and groups the parts required at each manufacturing stage. This aids the people involved in figuring out when various production processes must commence and when supplies must be received in time to satisfy any delivery deadlines.
An MBOM for a new product could be in effect for a predetermined time frame, such as a few weeks. The MBOM can then be modified, or a new one may be developed if the product requires improvements to be made.
The enterprise resource planning system and material requirement planning (MRP) systems are two common systems with which the MBOM shares information.
