Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The design and implementation of a computerized bill of material processing project is a critical endeavor in modern manufacturing environments. This project aims to streamline the bill of material (BOM) management process by utilizing computerized systems to automate and optimize various stages of BOM processing. The primary objectives of this project include improving accuracy, efficiency, and overall productivity in managing BOMs. The computerized system will be designed to effectively create, update, and maintain BOMs for different products within a manufacturing setting. By utilizing software tools and databases, the system will store and organize detailed information on components, materials, quantities, and other relevant data required for accurate BOM processing. This centralized approach will enable easy access to BOM information, facilitate quick updates, and ensure consistency across different departments. The implementation of this computerized BOM processing project will involve several key steps. Firstly, a thorough analysis of the current BOM processing workflow will be conducted to identify pain points and areas for improvement. Following this, a detailed system design will be developed to outline the architecture, functionalities, and integration requirements of the computerized system. The design phase will also include considerations for user interfaces, data security, and scalability to meet the needs of a dynamic manufacturing environment. Once the system design is finalized, the implementation phase will commence, involving the development, testing, and deployment of the computerized BOM processing system. This will require close collaboration between software developers, system integrators, and end-users to ensure that the system meets the specified requirements and aligns with the organization's goals for BOM management. Throughout the implementation process, rigorous testing and validation procedures will be carried out to verify the system's functionality, reliability, and performance. User training sessions will also be conducted to familiarize employees with the new system and ensure a smooth transition from manual to computerized BOM processing. In conclusion, the design and implementation of a computerized bill of material processing project offer significant benefits to manufacturing organizations seeking to enhance their BOM management processes. By leveraging technology and automation, this project aims to improve accuracy, efficiency, and productivity while enabling seamless collaboration and information sharing across departments involved in BOM processing.

Thesis Overview

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Material Procurement can be defined as the purchase of goods or services at a total cost of the optimum possible in the correct amount and quality of procurement. These goods and services are also purchased at the right time and location to express profit or the use of Government, business, business, or individuals by signing a contract.

The process of acquisition of goods or services that are required as a raw material (direct procurement) or for operating purposes (indirect procurement) a company or a person might call acquisition. The procurement process involves not only the purchase of commodities, but also the quality and quantity of controls. Typically, providers are listed and pre-determined by the contracting company. This makes the smoother process, the promotion of a good relationship between the buyer and the supplier.

The synonyms for procurement, which are the gain, purchase, and acquire, can shed light on the meaning of procurement. The procurement process may vary from company to company, and a Government entity can have a slightly different procurement process compared to a private company.

Acquisitions can also be defined simply as the procedure in which the goods or raw materials are purchased when prices are low. Procurement is advantageous if the goods are purchased in large quantities. E-procurement is another method of electronic media is used for the acquisition or purchase of goods. Everything

is processed electronically, the search for the right bidder delivery and payment. The procurement procedure may vary depending on the product and the uses of the product. Health team must be efficient and reliable, and the procurement process is carried out carefully in order prevent the defective equipment purchase. Another important factor that usually includes definitions of the procurement is the amount purchased the product. This is important because the quantity of purchased goods is inversely proportional to their cost.

Thus, acquisition is a process that is carried out by the company almost every individual and for their own personal benefit or benefits, involving the purchase of commodities by choosing the appropriate provider.

1.1 Statement of the Problem

Most company’s are suffering some set backs due to their procurement system. Most often low quality goods are purchased and they end up loosing money. Also at times, they lack a steady supply, resulting to lack of materials for production, hence the need for computerization of bill
