Object breakdown structure
Last updated: July 20, 2023
The hierarchical breakdown of an object into its
components in a specific configuration, through sufficient levels to show the
logical make-up of the complete object group in a specific context.
You can define various Object Breakdown Structures for the
same item, depending on the intended end use of the defined breakdown, such as:
A defined Object Breakdown Structure forms the basis for AssetWise to assemble, control, and report all associated item data and documents for a complete object, or any part of the object.
AssetWise uses the Product Breakdown Structure as a default breakdown structure. This breakdown structure represents the Product Bill of Material or parts list.
If required, you can define and apply any other breakdown structure.
