Abstract: Abstract This chapter deals with the modeling of product substitution and flexible BOMs. In Sect. 3.1, we describe several real-world applications where product substitution occurs. Section 3.2 presents four approaches for modeling substitution: Blending models, substitution graphs, substitution hypergraphs, and task-oriented modeling. Complementary classification criteria for product substitution models are developed in Sect. 3.3. Finally, Sect. 3.4 focusses on conditions where substitution can be beneficial, requirements for organizationally implementing substitutions, and potential pitfalls that should be kept in mind.
