Dynamic production bill of materials system

Abstract

An initial bill of materials and an alternative manufacturing list to assemble a printed circuit board are received. An intermediate bill of materials is generated and stored in a database. The intermediate bill of materials includes, for each of one or more components comprising the printed circuit board, one or more corresponding specifically-identified parts approved to be used for the one or more components. The intermediate bill of materials is updated to add one or more specifically-identified parts not included in the initial bill of materials or the alternative manufacturing list, based at least in part on a determination that a specifically-identified part listed in the initial bill of materials or the alternative manufacturing list is unavailable.
