What is Bill of Materials (BOM) Data?

What does Bill of Materials (BOM) Data mean?

Bill of Materials (BOM) Data is the structured information that details all the components, parts, and materials required to manufacture, operate, or maintain an asset. BOM data is typically managed within ERP systems and is critical for supply chain planning, inventory control, and production accuracy.

Accurate BOM data ensures that equipment and assets are supported by the right spare parts, preventing delays, unnecessary costs, and operational risks.

Why BOM Data is important

  1. Operational accuracy ensures all required components are available when needed.
  2. Inventory efficiency – supports Spare Parts Inventory Optimisation and reduces overstocking.
  3. Maintenance readiness – links with Critical Spare Parts Data to improve reliability.
  4. Supply chain integration – connects suppliers, procurement, and production through accurate data.
  5. Compliance and governance – aligns with standards such as ISO 8000 and Data Standardisation.
