The bill of material (BOM) provides a comprehensive list of all the assemblies, subassemblies, parts, and raw materials required to produce one unit of finished product. It is used as an input for material requirements planning (MRP) which ensures that the necessary components are available when they are needed in the production process. The master production schedule (MPS) provides information on the quantity and timing of finished products to be produced, the inventory records provide information on the quantities of materials and products on hand, the assembly-time chart provides information on the time required to produce each subassembly, and the net requirements chart is a visual representation of the materials required and the timing of those requirements.
