What is BOM?
Bill of Materials
A bill of materials (BOM) is the complete, structured list of every component, part number, quantity, and reference needed to build a product — the master parts list manufacturing works from.
A clean, sourced BOM — with alternates for supply risk — is essential for accurate quoting and a smooth production ramp, and is a core deliverable of any hardware design.
