Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of data management technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus and storage medium for selecting a finished product bill of materials. Background Technology

[0002] The finished product bill of materials (BOM) details all the materials used to build the product. Typically, the BOM is manually generated by matching the corresponding semi-finished product stages to the given descriptions in the BOMs for each configuration combination, and then compiling all the semi-finished product stages into the finished product BOM. During product trial production or when customers have specific configuration requirements, the BOMs for the product's configuration combinations may change. Therefore, a new finished product BOM needs to be requested based on the corresponding configuration combination's BOM. However, manually matching the corresponding semi-finished product stages based on the descriptions in the configuration combination's BOM is error-prone and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0032] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0033] The first embodiment of this disclosure provides a method for selecting and configuring a finished product bill of materials, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this method includes:

[0034] Step 101: Obtain a list of configuration combinations corresponding to the selected products.

[0035] Optional products include trial production products or customized products with specified materials during the trial production phase. Different configuration combinations will arise based on product verification requirements during the trial production phase or when there are customized configuration requirements for the product. Each configuration combination includes configuration materials, and the configuration combination and configuration materials constitute a configuration combination list. Trial production phase product verification requirements include testing materials from a new manufacturer or testing compatibility issues between different components of a product. Customized configuration requirements include customers specifying materials for a particular component of the product according to their needs. For example, a laptop computer includes keyboard modules 1 and 2, display 1 and display 2, a battery, etc. Keyboard module 1 includes a keyboard with English language printing, a black keyboard casing, and a stand; keyboard module 2 includes a keyboard with French language printing, a silver keyboard casing, and a stand; display 1 includes an aluminum-magnesium alloy casing, a 2K resolution LCD screen, and a camera; display 2 includes a carbon fiber casing, a 4K resolution LCD screen, and a camera. The configuration combination list generated based on a customer's customization requirements includes Configuration Combination 1 and Configuration Combination 2. Configuration Combination 1 includes an aluminum-magnesium alloy casing, a keyboard with English language printing, a black keyboard casing, and a stand; Configuration Combination 2 includes a carbon fiber casing, a keyboard with French language printing, a silver keyboard casing, and a stand. The aluminum-magnesium alloy casing, carbon fiber casing, keyboard with English language printing, keyboard with French language printing, black keyboard casing, silver keyboard casing, stand, 2K resolution display, 4K resolution display, camera, and battery are configuration materials. Configuration Combination 1 and Configuration Combination 2 are configuration combinations, and each configuration combination and configuration material constitutes the configuration combination list corresponding to this laptop.

[0036] Step 102: Determine the corresponding configuration combination and the configuration materials included in each configuration combination based on the configuration combination list.

[0037] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a configuration combination list according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the configuration combination list includes configuration combinations and configuration materials. Configuration materials include materials that need to be tested according to verification requirements during the product trial production stage, newly added materials from a specific manufacturer, or designated materials in customized products. One configuration combination corresponds to one finished product of the selected options. For example... Figure 2 The configuration combination list shown includes configuration combination 1, configuration combination 2, and configuration combination 3, etc., and configuration materials include configuration material 101, configuration material 102, configuration material 202, and configuration material 301, etc., wherein configuration combination 1 includes configuration material 101 and configuration material 102, configuration combination 2 includes configuration material 101 and configuration combination 202, configuration combination 3 includes configuration material 301 and configuration material 102, etc., wherein configuration combination 1, configuration combination 2, and configuration combination 3, etc., correspond to different finished products.

[0038] Step 103: Filter the preset material set according to the configured material to obtain the candidate material set corresponding to the configured material.

[0039] Preset materials are set up as sets to obtain a set of preset materials. Each preset material corresponds to a set of preset materials. The preset materials can be all the preset materials that can constitute a certain component of a product within a pre-defined production range. When shipping, only one preset material needs to be selected for the product according to the configuration combination in the configuration bill of materials. For example, in a laptop in step 101, the preset materials include keyboard module 1, keyboard module 2, display 1, display 2, and battery. Setting the preset materials up as sets yields {keyboard module 1}, {keyboard module 2}, {display 1}, {display 2}, and {battery}.

[0040] The relationship between preset materials and configured materials is many-to-one, meaning that different preset materials may contain the same configured material. After obtaining the configured materials in the configuration combination list, based on the correspondence between the configured materials and preset materials, all preset materials containing a certain configured material are filtered, and the sets of preset materials corresponding to these preset materials are determined as candidate material sets. For example, in step 101, a laptop has preset materials including keyboard module 1, keyboard module 2, display 1, display 2, and battery. The preset materials are set as sets, resulting in preset material sets {keyboard module 1}, {keyboard module 2}, {display 1}, {display 2}, and {battery}.

[0041] When material 1 is configured as "bracket", it can be seen from the correspondence between preset materials and configured materials that both keyboard module 1 and keyboard module 2 contain brackets. Therefore, the candidate material set corresponding to the configured material "bracket" is the set {keyboard module 1, keyboard module 2}.

[0042] When material 2 is configured as "keyboard printed in English", keyboard module 1 includes "keyboard printed in English", so the candidate material set corresponding to the configured material is {keyboard module 1}.

[0043] Step 104: Filter the candidate materials in the candidate material set according to the configuration materials included in the same configuration combination to obtain the target material set.

[0044] After obtaining the configuration combinations and the configuration materials contained in each configuration combination from the configuration combination list in step 102, all configuration materials contained under each configuration combination in the configuration combination list can be determined. The same candidate materials in the candidate material set corresponding to the configuration materials belonging to the same configuration combination are then selected, and the selected candidate materials are used as the target material set. For example, in step 103, for a notebook, configuration combination 1 from the configuration combination list contains a stand and an English-language printed keyboard. That is, the stand and the English-language printed keyboard belong to the same configuration combination. The candidate material set corresponding to the stand is {keyboard module 1, keyboard module 2}, and the candidate material set corresponding to the English-language printed keyboard is {keyboard module 1}. At this time, the candidate materials in the two candidate material sets are keyboard module 1, keyboard module 2, and keyboard module 1, respectively. The same candidate material in both sets, {keyboard module 1}, is selected, and {keyboard module 1} is determined as the target material set.

[0045] Step 105: Combine the target material set to obtain the target material list corresponding to the selected product.

[0046] The target bill of materials for the optional product is the complete list of materials required to compose the optional product. The configuration materials are the few materials that need to be tested in the optional product. Based on the configuration materials under each configuration combination in the configuration bill of materials, the candidate materials corresponding to the configuration materials are found. Based on the candidate materials, the other materials that make up the candidate materials can be found. Combining all the materials that make up the finished product is the target bill of materials for the optional product. Each configuration combination corresponds to one target bill of materials.

[0047] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of a method for selecting and configuring a finished product bill of materials according to an embodiment of this disclosure. (Reference) Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a super bill of materials (BOM) system for a certain optional product. The super BOM is a bill of materials created based on materials. It is a complete set of all materials and their quantities that make up a certain product. It adopts a tree structure to reflect the assembly structure relationship of product components. Within a pre-set range of manufacturable products, the configuration requirements of the actual product are selected from many configurations in the super BOM. After the selection is completed, the finished product bill of materials corresponding to the actual product is obtained.

[0048] One product corresponds to one super BOM, such as Figure 4As shown, the first-level material numbers for this product are semi-finished products S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6. These semi-finished products are the pre-designated materials. The dashed boxes within the semi-finished products indicate that the semi-finished products within a box belong to the same type of component. For example, semi-finished products S1 and S2 belong to component A, S3 belongs to component B, and S4, S5, and S6 belong to semi-finished product C. Semi-finished products S1, S2, S4, S5, and S6 are all components of the same type, and one of each component can be selected to form the finished product bill of materials according to actual needs. Each semi-finished product is composed of its subordinate materials. Taking semi-finished product S4 as an example, it consists of material combination P1, material P2, material combination P3a, and material combination P3b. The dashed boxes indicate that the materials or material combinations within a dashed box are interchangeable. For example, material combination P3a and material combination P3b are interchangeable, meaning that only one of them needs to be selected for semi-finished product S4 during shipment. Each material combination is further composed of its subordinate materials.

[0049] In the super BOM of a certain optional product, the correspondence between each material, the semi-finished product to which the material belongs, and the component to which the semi-finished product belongs can be found. The semi-finished products in the super BOM are identified as preset materials, and the preset materials are set as a set to obtain a preset material set. After obtaining the target material set in step 105, based on the materials in the target material set, other materials required to constitute the optional product can be found in the super BOM system of the optional product according to the correspondence between the materials, the semi-finished products to which the materials belong, and the components to which the semi-finished products belong. By combining the target materials in the target material set with other materials, the target material list corresponding to the optional product can be obtained.

[0050] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a finished product bill of materials according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the finished product bill of materials includes all the semi-finished products that make up the finished product. Figure 4 The super BOM of the optional product shows that component A includes semi-finished products S1 and S2, and component C includes semi-finished products S4, S5, and S6. Based on the configuration materials in the configuration combination list, one of the configuration materials can be selected to form the finished product BOM corresponding to that configuration combination. For example, when the configuration combination in the configuration combination list includes configuration material P2, according to the selection method of this disclosure, the corresponding semi-finished product 4 is selected based on configuration material P2, thus selecting semi-finished product S4 for component C of the optional product.

[0051] Through the above process, the target bill of materials corresponding to the selected products can be automatically generated without the need for manual matching of the corresponding semi-finished product stages based on the description information of the configured combination bill of materials. This saves labor costs and enables the rapid and accurate generation of the target bill of materials corresponding to the selected products.

[0052] In one embodiment of this disclosure, in step 203 above, filtering the preset material set according to the configured material to obtain the candidate material set corresponding to the configured material includes: first, determining the preset materials included in the preset material set; then, when the preset material set includes the preset material corresponding to the configured material, determining the preset material set corresponding to the preset material as the candidate material set.

[0053] In a product's super BOM (Bill of Materials), all semi-finished products constituting the product are presented as sets. These sets of semi-finished products are called preset materials, and the sets of semi-finished products are called preset material sets. First, the preset materials within the preset material set are identified. Preset materials and configuration materials have a many-to-one relationship; that is, the same configuration material may belong to different preset materials. All preset materials containing a certain configuration material are selected, and these preset materials constitute the candidate material set corresponding to that configuration material. Specifically, this can be achieved by taking the union of all preset material sets corresponding to a configuration material. For example, if preset material S... i S j and S k Material P is configured in each of them. n Preset material S i S j and S k The corresponding preset material set is {S} i}、{S j} and {S k}, for {S i}、{S j} and {S k Find the union of sets, the result of which is {S}. i S j S k}, then P n Corresponding candidate material set At this time, S i S j and S k These are called candidate materials.

[0054] In another embodiment of this disclosure, in step 203 above, filtering the preset material set according to the configured material to obtain a candidate material set corresponding to the configured material includes: when none of the preset material sets contain the preset material corresponding to the configured material, determining the candidate material set according to the configured material. When no preset material contains the configured material, setting the configured material itself as a set, and determining the set of the material itself as the candidate material set corresponding to the material.

[0055] For example, a product's configuration bill of materials contains a configuration material named P. n P is not included in the product's super BOM. n The preset materials will configure material P n Set as a set, i.e., {P n}, then configure material P n The corresponding candidate material set is {P} n}

[0056] In another embodiment of this disclosure, in step 204 above, the candidate materials in the candidate material set are screened according to the configuration materials included in the same configuration combination to obtain the target material set, including: determining the candidate material set corresponding to the configuration materials included in the same configuration combination as the material set to be screened; when there are the same material to be screened in each material set to be screened, the target material set is determined according to the material to be screened.

[0057] Candidate configuration combinations corresponding to configuration materials belonging to a configuration combination are determined as the set of materials to be screened for that configuration combination. That is, the set of materials to be screened for a given configuration combination contains all candidate configuration combinations corresponding to configuration materials under that configuration combination. Materials that are identical in the set of materials to be screened are selected. Based on these identical materials, a target material set is determined. The target materials in the target material set are the materials to be tested corresponding to that configuration combination. Specifically, this can be a configuration combination SKU. m The following parts PART i There are n configuration materials, and the candidate configuration sets corresponding to the n configuration materials are as follows: At this time, The candidate materials in the collection are called the materials to be screened. Find the intersection, and the result of the intersection. The target material set is determined based on the intersection result.

[0058] In another embodiment of this disclosure, when there are identical materials to be screened in each set of materials to be screened, determining the target material set based on the identical materials to be screened includes: if the quantity of identical materials to be screened is one, then the identical materials to be screened are determined as the target material set.

[0059] Select the identical materials in the set of materials to be screened. If only one material in the set of materials to be screened has an identical counterpart, then this set of materials is the target set of materials. Specifically, this can be a certain configuration combination SKU. m The following parts PART i There are n configuration materials, and the candidate configuration sets corresponding to the n configuration materials are as follows: set Find the intersection, and the result of the intersection. like When there is only one element, that is When, then {S k} represents the target set of materials, which is the SKU of this configuration combination. m The following parts PART i Select semi-finished product S k .

[0060] In another embodiment of this disclosure, when there are identical materials to be screened in each set of materials to be screened, determining the target material set based on the identical materials to be screened includes: if the quantity of identical materials to be screened is not one, determining that the configuration combination does not have a corresponding target material set.

[0061] Select the same materials from the set of materials to be screened. If multiple materials have the same material as another material, or if no materials have the same material as another material, then there is no corresponding target material set for this configuration combination. In other words, no corresponding semi-finished product can be selected for this configuration combination. Specifically, this could be a configuration combination SKU. m The following parts PART i There are n configuration materials, and the candidate configuration sets corresponding to the n configuration materials are as follows: set Find the intersection, and the result of the intersection. like An empty set is a set whose intersection contains no elements. When there are multiple elements, there is no SKU that matches the configuration. m The corresponding target material set, i.e., cannot be a configuration combination SKU at this time. m The following parts PART i Select the semi-finished products.

[0062] In another embodiment of this disclosure, after determining that the configuration combination does not have a corresponding target material set, the method further includes: determining the error information corresponding to the configuration combination; modifying the configuration combination according to the error information to obtain the modified configuration combination; and determining the target material list according to the modified configuration combination.

[0063] After determining that there is no SKU combination with the configuration, m After identifying the target material set, determine and configure the SKU combination. m The corresponding error message includes the configuration combination SKU. m SKU configuration combination m The following are the test materials and configuration combinations SKUs m The component to which the material to be tested belongs (PART) i and configuration combination SKU m The set of materials to be screened is modified according to the error message. The configuration combination or the super BOM corresponding to the selected product is modified. Based on the modified configuration combination or the super BOM corresponding to the selected product, the target material list is determined again from step 201.

[0064] like Figure 4 The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating an error handling method for selecting a finished product bill of materials according to an embodiment of this disclosure, including:

[0065] Step 401: Read the configuration combination list;

[0066] Step 402: Determine whether the preset material set contains a preset material corresponding to the configured material. If yes, proceed to step 403; otherwise, proceed to step 404.

[0067] Step 403: Determine the set of preset materials corresponding to the preset materials as the candidate material set;

[0068] Step 404: Determine the configured materials as the candidate material set;

[0069] Step 405: Determine the set of candidate materials corresponding to the configuration materials included in the same configuration combination as the set of materials to be screened;

[0070] Step 406: Determine whether the same material to be screened exists in each set of materials to be screened. If yes, proceed to step 407; otherwise, proceed to step 409.

[0071] Step 407: Determine whether the quantity of the same material to be screened is one. If yes, proceed to step 408; otherwise, proceed to step 409.

[0072] Step 408: Obtain the target bill of materials corresponding to the selected products;

[0073] Step 409: Export the error message corresponding to the configuration combination, check and modify the information corresponding to the configuration combination.

[0074] Using this method, the accuracy of the configuration combination list and the super BOM can be checked simultaneously. By exporting error information, which includes configuration combinations, materials under test under configuration combinations, components to which materials under test under configuration combinations belong, or the set of materials to be screened in configuration combinations, the configuration combination list or super BOM can be checked and modified, thereby obtaining the target material list corresponding to the selected products again.

[0075] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the target material set is combined to obtain a target material list corresponding to the selected product, including: if the configuration combination is a replaceable configuration combination, the corresponding target material set is marked as a replaceable target material set; if the configuration combination is a non-replaceable configuration combination, the corresponding target material set is marked as a non-replaceable target material set; and the target material list corresponding to the selected product is determined based on the replaceable target material set and the non-replaceable target material set.

[0076] Replaceable configuration combinations are other configuration combinations that are mutually replaceable. When a configuration combination has other configuration combinations that are mutually replaceable, it is marked as a replaceable target material set. When a configuration combination does not have other configuration combinations that are mutually replaceable, the corresponding target material set is marked as a non-replaceable target material set. The target material list corresponding to the selected product is the finished product material list for the selected product under a certain configuration combination. Based on the configuration combinations in the configuration combination list, the finished product material list corresponding to each configuration combination is obtained.
