The Bill of Material(BOM) is one of the most important data in manufacturing systems. However, effective maintenance of BOM data is getting difficult as the amount and complexity of data have increased due to the variety and short life cycle of products. For the effective management of BOM data, two aspects must be considered. One is to reduce redundancy and the other is to provide data to the clients in remote area. To cope with these situations, we propose a prototype of web-based integrated BOM management system, which is based on the intranet and family BOM concept. The advantages of the proposed system are as follows: the amount of BOM data is reduced, data integrity is achieved, and an existing BOM management system can be directly interconnected through the intranet.
