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.

When setting up Routing Operations for a Bill of Material, a great visual method to confirm accuracy is by running a Routing Chart.

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.

Shop Operation Mobile (SOM) is a web application that allows users to transact MISys shop operations. It is designed to use barcode as the primary mode for data entry – for user authentication, selecting MO no. and selecting operation no. This is facilitated by a CNS’ modified MO traveler to print MO no. and operation no. in a barcode.
