In Manufacturing Operations, Part or Item is the sellable product that is manufactured in the factory environment. The product is also called a Part, Item, Goods, and many other names depending on the type of the manufacturing business. In general, the product or part may be a composition of many components or child parts assembled together to make the final one.

In SFactrix, Part configuration allows dividing the complex structure of a product into smaller 'Parts' whilst enabling better Part Management with smart factory solutions.
