Abstract

This chapter can be seen as an extension to Chapter 16, Generic Product Modelling, in which a product model for specifying a range of product variants was presented. The purpose of this chapter is to explain the generic bill-of-material approach in more detail by describing how the data base is structured. More specifically, we will focus on the data model used to structure the information which is captured in the data base. Less attention is paid here to the generic bill-of-material application which uses this data model.
