Abstract: Considering the limitation of traditional Bill of Materials (BOM) models in enterprise applications, a novel BOM model based on n-dimensional affine space was proposed. All parts of a product could construct an affine space, and then each of them had a corresponding vector in the concomitant vector space of the affine space. So the assemblies from parts to products were represented by corresponding linear combination, and all operations on BOM were completed by calculating the inner product between corresponding vectors. Application in a practical case indicated that the flexibility, searching, and data reuse performances of the new BOM model were modified.
