Implosions of materials and component structure of products for the needs of production planning and control in enterprises

The paper presents algorithms for the collection of information on the component structure in complex products. Lists of such information are discussed in the form of implosions: single-level, multi-level and aggregated. Bills of materials and components were developed using the concepts of the immediate master and immediate slave components. Proposed algorithms for information gathering may be coded in selected programming languages and in this form used in data bases supporting production management processes in industrial enterprises manufacturing assembled products. Application of algorithms was illustrated using an example of a furniture product.
