BOM Explosion
Production Planning
BOM Explosion
MRP calculation that translates demand for parent items into time-phased demand for lower-level components.
Examples
- 01A BOM explosion turns an order for 500 bikes into demand for 1,000 wheels, 36,000 spokes and 500 frames, each with its own due date.
- 02After an engineering change adds a new bracket, the planner checks that the BOM explosion creates demand for it in the right week.
- 03When the BOM explosion shows a shortage of 2,000 bolts, the daily meeting decides to expedite rather than delay the bike order.
