2.2 OVT CKD To FG BoM Rule

Source Basis

This page is based on notes/BOM-CKD-FG.md.

Core Rule

This note states that this is the only BoM used in OVT manufacturing:

  • 1 x E3-Pro CKD Package -> 1 x E3-Pro Finished Motorcycle

What Not To Do

Do not:

  • explode CKD into individual components in OVT
  • recreate the China factory BoM in OVT
  • require operators to pick individual parts from inventory
  • attempt to track internal CKD components as stock items

Why This Rule Is Correct

Matches Physical Reality

At OVT:

  • operators open one CKD package
  • operators assemble one motorcycle from that package

Therefore the real production input is the CKD package.

Aligns With Odoo MRP Practice

The note states Odoo MRP should reflect what is physically consumed during production, not an upstream engineering structure from another factory.

Maintains Clean Traceability

This keeps:

  • CKD lot to FG serial linkage clear
  • one-to-one mapping intact
  • stock movements simple and auditable

Preserves Responsibility Boundaries

Stage Responsibility
China factory Full component BoM and manufacturing
OVT assembly CKD to FG transformation

OVT should not replicate the China factory manufacturing structure.

When To Use A Full Component BoM

The note says to consider a full component BoM only if OVT begins:

  • breaking CKD kits into individual parts
  • managing part-level inventory
  • performing repairs using stock parts
  • handling shortages or substitutions

Otherwise, do not use a full component BoM at OVT.

Risks Of Incorrect Approach

If CKD is exploded into components:

  • inventory becomes inaccurate
  • operators bypass system steps
  • assembly slows down
  • training becomes difficult
  • system adoption fails

Optional Future Enhancement

If visibility into CKD composition is needed, maintain the China BoM as:

  • reference documentation
  • engineering data

But do not use it as the active OVT manufacturing BoM.
