Line 1:

Product structure is a hierarchical decomposition of a product, typically know as the BOM ([[Billbill of Materialsmaterials]] (BOM).

As business becomes more responsive to unique consumer tastes and derivative products grow to meet the unique configurations, BOM management can become unmanageable.<br /><br />

Advanced modeling techniques are necessary to cope with configurable products where changing a small part of a product can have multiple impacts on other product structure models. Concepts within this entry are all caps locked in order to indicate these concepts.

! Activity !! Sub-Activity !! Description

|-

| rowspan=3 | Define product components || Identify parts || Identifying parts is concerned with the so-called [[bill of materialmaterials]]. Thus the materials are described for each product. Output of this activity is a list of parts for each product.

|-

| Specify sub-assemblies || Several parts mulled together are described as a subassembly. But can also be an atomic component, which is part of the whole assembly.
