BOM Explosion is the recursive walk down a multi-level Bill of Materials: at each level, the parent quantity is multiplied by each child's per-unit usage, adjusted for scrap factor and yield, and rolled into the gross requirement for that component. Phantom (transient) assemblies are passed through without generating a planned order; co-products and by-products are netted in the opposite direction.

It is the first stage of MRP — the gross requirement is then time-phased against the lead time and netted against available inventory to produce planned orders. V5 runs the explosion against the approved formula version (the same artifact the MMR snapshots) so the plan and the floor are mathematically aligned.

How V5 handles it

Score your compliance gap — then download the validation pack.

A guided self-assessment walks you against the regulator clauses that apply to your industry. The validation pack — IQ/OQ/PQ scripts, traceability matrix, risk assessment, intended-use statement — generates from the same evidence so you can hand it to an auditor on day one.

Document control with hard kiosk-level training enforcement.

Versioned SOPs are only useful if operators are actually trained on the current version. V5 enforces it at the kiosk.

QMS — quality engineered into every action, not bolted on.

Because V5 owns the operator action, the QMS sees the data the second it’s captured — not at the end of the shift.
