Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bill of materials (BOM) file is a listing of all the intermediate assemblies, subassemblies, component parts, and raw materials that go into a final product, along with quantities required for each. This is the input used for creating the MRP (material requirements planning) output that specifies what materials are needed and when to meet production goals. The other options, such as the authorized master production schedule, inventory records file, part status file, and assembly time chart, are all related to production planning and control, but they do not provide the same level of detail as the BOM file in terms of the specific parts and quantities needed for each product.
