Publication date:   Dec 2, 2014

Scope

ISO 10303-44:2014
specifies the integrated resource constructs for
product structure configuration.



The following are within the scope of
ISO 10303-44:2014:



the relationships among the components and assemblies of products;

the relationships among products and their components as made by modification of other products;

EXAMPLE 1  

The machining of a product from another product is an example of a modification.



the description of a product as defined by customer needs;
the dependencies among specifications of a product in order to represent possible product variations to present to a customer;
the management of the structure for configuration of assemblies and components as planned for manufacture;

the decomposition of a product to support different product life cycle activities;

EXAMPLE 2  

An organization maintains one bill-of-material structure for a product that enumerates the quantity
of each component used in each assembly, and a second bill-of-material that decomposes a product with multiple
assemblies into the individual components.
See annex Examples for more examples of different product structure reports that are supported.



multiple versions of a single product that are equivalent with respect to form, fit, and function.
