===Product breakdown===
[[Image:Product_structure_modeling_meta-data_model1.gif|right|thumb|300px|Figure 1: product structure concepts]]Figure 1 illustrates the concepts that are important to the structure of a [[Product (business)|product]]. This is a [[Meta-modeling_technique|meta-data model]], which can be used for modeling the instances in a specific case of product structuring.
The core of the product structure is illustrated by the product components (ITEMS) and their RELATIONSHIPS. Thus, this involves the linking between ITEMS related to the [[Product (business)|product]].
The ASSEMBLY can exist of SUBASSEMBLIES and PARTS, whereas SUBASSEMBLIES can also consist of other SUBASSEMBLIES or PARTS. Thus this is typically hierarchically ordered. These concepts are generalized into the concept of ITEM. This classification is overlapping, due to the fact that a SUBASSEMBLY could be a PART in another ASSEMBLY configuration.
