Abstract:

It is hard to keep data consistency between various BOMs, which are from different departments. A polychromatic graph based BOM model was presented to decrease errors during the delivering of data. Benefiting from the polychromatic character of the graph, the model can easily be transformed to different application BOMs. The structure relation, semantic relation and general relation between the presented BOM model and application BOMs were analyzed. The effectiveness of this approach was validated for the  project application.

Key words: BOM; modeling; graph theory; polychromatic graph
