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.
