Teamcenter® software’s functionality for manufacturing bill of materials (BOM) and bill of process (BOP) management allows you to configure the product BOP and the plant (BOP) independent of each other and to link them to the manufacturing BOM.
A product BOP contains components and subassemblies and the recipe of operations and resources needed to build the product. A plant BOP consists of stations and cells with the list of operations that can be performed at a particular station. This capability bridges the connection between the product centric view of building a product – the product BOP – and the plant centric view of building a product – the plant BOP - while maintaining important connection to the manufacturing BOM under revision control throughout the manufacturing planning process.
