Modular BOM

Okay kiddo, so a modular BOM is kind of like building with Legos. Do you know how you can take different Lego blocks and snap them together to make something cool? Well, a modular BOM lets you do the same thing but with different parts for making things like computers or toys.

You see, a BOM stands for Bill of Materials. It's a list of parts or ingredients that you need to make something. And with a modular BOM, you can think of it like a list of Lego blocks that you need to build your creation.

The cool thing about a modular BOM is that it allows you to swap out different pieces easily. So if you decide you want to change the color or size of a piece, you can easily make the change without having to start all over again. It's like taking apart your Lego creation and building it again with different blocks.

So if you want to build a computer, for example, a modular BOM would give you a list of all the parts you need like the motherboard, CPU, memory, and storage. But instead of being stuck with one option for each part, you could choose from different options that fit your needs and budget.

Overall, a modular BOM makes building things easier and more flexible. Just like playing with Legos, you can mix and match pieces to create something awesome!
