When Routed Operations are synchronized to the introduction of Components, a ‘Bill of Material’ becomes a ‘Bill of Manufacturing’.

With larger Bills of Manufacturing, it can be challenging to visualize the relationship of operations, and into which operations components are being introduced into.

The term Bill of Material (BOM) can be misleading because in many manufacturing systems, the BOM can contain not only Materials, but also Routing Operations like a recipe. When Material is combined with Operations, the Bill of Material is often referred to as a Bill of Manufacturing.
