In any manufacturing company, Bill of Materials (BOM) is like their backbone or secret recipe to manufacture their product. It is very crucial to have a very accurate data of BOM and the way the BOM are handled is one of the main challenges faced by the team or department that handle it. Scomi Rail Berhad (SRB) Engineering Services Department right now is facing some difficulties to manage BOM where their main task is to analyze the BOM report before it goes to purchasing department. Currently their approach is just by using manual checking which leads to human error thus, inaccuracy of data. So there is a need for a system that can manage and simplify their task. The objective of this project is to develop a computer-based system, Bill of Materials Report Management System for Engineering Services Department in SRB to analyze and manage their BOM reports. Besides, this system also has a picture of the part where it can benefit the newcomers of the company. This system will be developed as a standalone (executable) system using Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft Access as the database. As a result, this system will help SRB Engineering Services Department staff to improve the way they analyze and manage the BOM reports which lead to the accuracy of their BOM.
