Line 1:
Product structure is a hierarchical decomposition of a product, typically known as the [[bill of materials]] (BOM).
As business becomes more responsive to unique consumer tastes and derivative products grow to meet the unique configurations, BOM management can become unmanageable. For manufacturers, a bill of materials (BOM)is a critical product information record that lists the raw materials, assemblies, components, parts and the quantities of each needed to manufacture a product.<ref>{{cite web|title=Arena Solutions BOM Control|url=http://www.arenasolutions.com/products/plm/bom-software|website=Arena Solutions}}</ref>
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.
