Research and Implementation of a New Retrieve for Auto Parts BOM

Abstract

For wide varieties of auto parts and it is difficult to be managed, a new method was put forward. The methord is based on the conventional depth retrieve method and breadth retrieve method. It was raised for the data type of multilayer structure of auto parts. According to the tree structure characteristics of auto parts BOM, the method was introduced inheritance code and hierarchy field in the original BOM. The introduction of inheritance code allows a single part to inherit information from its parent part. Parts can be quickly located at which hierarchy in the BOM by the hierarchy field. For the introduction of them, the retrieve of the traditional tree structure model has changed from nonlinear relationship into a linear search, which improve search capacity and the efficiency of the retrieve system.
