Component consumption

A complex assembly line has many work centers, and each work center consumes one or many components. The components have to be added to build the final product, assuming that hundreds of components are added to complete the final product.

It would be too difficult to keep track of the sequences in which the components are added. You can actually define which component has to be added at which work center to define the sequence of adding the components to the final product.

Let's take the example of Computer Desk. We have three components, and each component is required at a specific work center. You can define which component will be consumed during which operation. Look at the following bill of material configuration, ...
