Matrix Bill Of Material

A Matrix Bill of Material (BOM) is a chart that organizes the bills of material for multiple products within the same or similar families. It is structured in a matrix format, with components listed in columns and parent products in rows (or vice versa). This allows for easy comparison and summarization of common component requirements across different products. © Copyright 2025 Demand Driven Institute. Used with permission.
