Product breakdown structure. In project management under the PRINCE2 methodology, a product breakdown structure (PBS) is a tool for analysing, documenting and communicating the outcomes of a project, and forms part of the product based planning technique. The PBS provides "an exhaustive, hierarchical tree structure of deliverables that make up ...
Product structure modeling. Product structure is a hierarchical decomposition of a product, typically known as the bill of materials (BOM). As business becomes more responsive to unique consumer tastes and derivative products grow to meet the unique configurations, BOM management can become unmanageable. For manufacturers, a bill of materials ...
The product flow diagram ( PFD) is a representation of the order by which a sequence of products is created according to product-based planning principles. It is related to the product breakdown structure (PBS). The product flow diagram is a prescribed activity of the PRINCE2 project management methodology which mandates the use of product ...
A multi-level bill of materials (BOM), referred to as an indented BOM, is a bill of materials that lists the assemblies, components, and parts required to make a product in a parent-child, top-down method. It provides a display of all items that are in parent-children relationships. When an item is a sub-component, of a (parent) component, it ...
The work breakdown structure provides a common framework for the natural development of the overall planning and control of a contract and is the basis for dividing work into definable increments from which the statement of work can be developed and technical, schedule, cost, and labor hour reporting can be established.
Product-based planning is intended to ensure that all of the necessary products are identified and captured, and begins by identifying a product breakdown structure which is then repeatedly refined until all of the requisite products are identified. The PBS is thus a hierarchical family tree of all the products and sub-products that comprise ...
In business and project management, a responsibility assignment matrix[1] (RAM), also known as RACI matrix[2] (/ ˈreɪsi /) or linear responsibility chart[3] (LRC), is a model that describes the participation by various roles in completing tasks or deliverables [4] for a project or business process. RACI is an acronym derived from the four key ...
It is used in (for example) systems engineering in conjunction with a functional breakdown, your off-the-shelf car maintenance manual to illustrate the bits that make up the engine and where they fit into higher-level assemblies (an illustrated parts breakdown IPB), and MIL-STD-13882B compliant databases for military logistics support.
