Strukturstückliste

Strukturstückliste, often abbreviated as Stückliste, is a German term that translates to "structured parts list" or "bill of materials" (BOM) in English. It is a hierarchical list of all the raw materials, sub-assemblies, intermediate assemblies, sub-components, parts, and the quantities of each needed to manufacture an end product. The structure of the list reflects the assembly process, breaking down a complex product into its constituent components at various levels.

This detailed documentation is crucial in manufacturing, engineering, and product management. It serves as a central reference point for various departments. For example, procurement uses it to order necessary materials, production planners rely on it to schedule manufacturing steps, and quality control can use it to track components. The Stückliste ensures that all necessary parts are accounted for, facilitating efficient production and inventory management. Different types of Stücklisten exist, such as the modular Stückliste for interchangeable components or the single Stückliste for a specific product variant. Its accuracy and completeness are vital for cost control, timely delivery, and overall product quality. In essence, a Strukturstückliste provides a comprehensive blueprint for assembling a product.
