Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for validating a bill of material (BOM) structure having a plurality of nodes includes creating a directed acyclic graph of a process based on the BOM, wherein the directed acyclic graph includes the BOM structure and a process network, determining a status of at least one process in the process network, and comparing the status of the process to an associated node.
Abstract:
Computer method and apparatus in a PLM system defines completeness of an end-item set for a given product demand set. The BOM for the product demand set is represented in a tree-based graph structure. Completeness of end-items is determined and/or validated such that one can build the target product set from the set of end-items. Shared items, parts and subassemblies of the given product are taken into account.
