Manufacturing is the process of putting together a product. Yes, there are many other factors, such as costs, time, quality and more. But all of those concerns are tied to the bill of materials, which collects the pieces that’ll be used to build the final product. A bill of materials, however, is more than a mere list. If you’re manufacturing anything, then you need to know what is a bill of materials, what is it used for and the types of bills of materials you’ll find in production.
