MODELING BILL-OF-MATERIAL WITH TREE DATA STRUCTURE: CASE STUDY IN FURNITURE MANUFACTURER
Abstract: This paper presents
a modeling of Bill-of-Material with tree data structure. The BOM represents wooden furniture
products. The management
of BOM is
incorporated into an
MRP software which
is specially built for a furniture manufacturer. The tree data structure
is approached with an object oriented programming to provide the creation and
modification of the data. The tree object is designed so that a downstream programmer
can create an
application with high
productivity, using the
BOM object of course. Legality of the development is
ensured by adapting open source resources, i.e. MySQL database engine, PHP
server script, and
client-side Javascript. The
BOM object is
used extensively in
the MRP software that
is being developed.
A couple of
screenshots are presented
to demonstrate the
ease of creation and manipulation
of Bill-of-Material. The proper approach of modeling BOM with tree structure allows the
programmer to reach
high productivity during
the development of
the aforementioned MRP customized software.
