GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1. Purposes of Controlled Materials Plan.
The fundamental purpose of the Plan is to assure a balance between supply and demand of controlled materials, to the end that such materials shall be available to the consumers of materials in the quantity and form and at the time and place required to meet authorized programs and schedules. The Controlled Materials Plan provides for the division of available supplies of controlled materials among the various Claimant Agencies in the interests of the most efficient use of these controlled materials in war production, and for the further division of the supplies of materials by the Claimant Agencies to their prime and secondary consumers.
The Plan contemplates centralized control by the War Production Board over the division of controlled materials among the Claimant Agencies and appropriate accounting so that no Agency can overdraw its allotment. Detailed responsibility for the distribution of controlled materials through specific allotments to programs and schedules is decentralized—first, in the Claimant Agency primarily responsible for each program, and secondly, in the consumers responsible for each schedule.
The Plan is designed to balance the over-all production program within the available supply of controlled materials. The Claimant Agencies will be required to adjust programs and schedules within the limits of controlled materials allotted to them. Other materials will continue to be distributed through the priority system. The Plan is sufficiently flexible to permit the inclusion of additional materials as controlled materials in the future, if necessary.
2. The Place of Bills of Materials in the Plan.
Each Claimant Agency is required to submit to the War Production Board its total requirements for controlled materials. These requirements must represent the materials needed to meet the scheduled programs of the Claimant Agencies, and will be the basis of allotments of controlled materials to the Claimant Agencies by the Requirements Committee. The basis for the preparation of these requirements will be Bills of Material for the various procurement items in the programs of the Claimant Agencies.
Claimant Agencies are responsible to the War Production Board for obtaining Bills of Material which will enable them to prepare their requirements for submission to the Requirements Committee. This information is also obtained to assist such Agencies in making allotments to Prime Consumers. The data so provided will also guide the Controlled Materials Branches in the formulation of production plans and the issuance of production directives to the producers of controlled materials.
Certain Claimant Agencies and Industry Branches in the case of highly repetitive items will find it necessary to obtain as rapidly as possible, Detail Bills of Material showing forms and sizes of materials

in greater particularity than provided in the instructions for the preparation of Summary Bills and also covering materials other than those in the CMP Materials List. Such requests for additional detail by Claimant Agencies are to be complied with, so long as not in conflict with this Plan. While consideration will be given to the particular needs and problems of each Claimant Agency and its Offices, uniformity to a substantial degree is essential.
Responsibility for the preparation of Bills of Material shall be upon the Claimant Agency, with reference to the War Production Board, and upon the Prime Consumers, with reference to the Claimant Agency. This shall not prevent a Claimant Agency from working with secondary consumers in cooperation with the Prime Consumers insofar as is necessary to direct the preparation of accurate Bills of Material for subcontracted items.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO INDUSTRY FOR PREPARING BILLS OF MATERIALS
At the request of the appropriate Claimant Agency, prime consumers shall prepare and submit to such agency Summary Bills of Materials and, if specifically requested, Detail Bills of Materials, for procurement items as specified, in the form hereinafter described. The responsibility for compiling a complete Bill of Materials for a procurement item including all sub-contracted parts, is vested in the prime consumer.
In the case of purchased parts or assemblies it will be necessary tor the consumer to secure from his secondary consumer the necessary information to complete the Bill of Materials and to furnish him with a copy of these instructions, in order to preserve uniformity in the preparation of all Bills of Materials.
The following instructions have been written to assist consumers in preparing Bills of Materials in which the basic information shown will be sufficiently uniform for consolidation and practical use by Claimant Agencies.
Definitions Related to Bills of Materials.
1. Detail Bill of Materials.—A list of all component parts of a procurement item showing material requirements.
2. Summary Bill of Materials.—A list of the material requirements for a complete procurement item or a recapitulation of the Detail Bill of Materials. In some instances the Claimant Agency involved may request that this Summary Bill be subdivided into functional groups, for scheduling purposes. In each case spare parts sets must be shown separately and sub-totalled on the Bill of Materials.
3. Prototype Bill of Materials.—A Bill of Materials that is applicable to several styles or models of the same basic part or assembly, varying slightly in minor details which have little or no effect on the aggregate material content.
4. Procurement Item.-—Tbs complete assembly or product to be furnished by a Prime Consumer including extra parts, such as spare wheels and tires on trucks, and auxiliary or accessory equipment, such as picks, shovels, fire extinguishers, tool kits, etc., on tanks, which are normally attached to or shipped as a constituent part of the procurement item; and spare parts sets specified to be shipped concurrently with the basic procurement item.
3
5. CMP Materials List.—This is a classification list of materials, designed for the preparation of Summary Bills of Materials under the Controlled Materials Plan. These materials have been assigned code numbers for convenience in accumulating the data requested herein, and a conversion table showing the translation from “Red Book” codes to C. M. P. codes is included.
6. CMP Materials Code Number.-^-The number taken from the CMP Materials List, used for convenience in accumulating the data requested herein.
7. Drawing or Part Number.—The number normally used to identify the individual part or assembly, and for use in connection with the preparation of Detail Bills of Materials. If the official government part numbers are available, these should be used.
8. Part Name.—The name of an individual part or an individual assembly, such as rope, buckle, piston, firing pin, etc., to be shown only on Detail Bills of Materials.
9. Specification or Chemical Analysis of Material.—This refers to standard specifications such as “S. A. E.”, “Army”, “Navy”, “Federal”, “A. S. T. M.”. In the absence of such recognized specifications, a manufacturer’s specifications may be used, but only if an analysis showing chemical composition is furnished.
10. Net Weight.—The weight of a material actually contained in a finished part (in the case of a Detail Bill of Materials) or in a completed procurement item (in the case of a Summary Bill of Materials).
11. Gross Weight (including rejections, etc.).—The weight of the material in the form shipped by the material producer and required for the manufacture of the procurement item or one of its parts. This should include reasonable allowances based on experience for processing losses, rejections, culls, testing, and spoilage, in such manner as may be prescribed by the Vice Chairman. For special definitions covering individual materials consult the CMP materials list.
12. Number of Parts {shown on Detail Bill of Materials only').—Number of finished parts (of the particular part being reported) to be incorporated in the functional group or its sub-division of the procurement item being reported. Taking, for example, a piston ring as the part being reported for a six cylinder motor having two rings for each piston,—the Number of Parts would be 12 if the motor were the functional group under consideration.
13. Total Net Weight.
a. Detail Bill of Materials.—On the Detail Bill of Materials, Total Net Weight is the Net Weight Per Part multiplied by the Number of Parts. It is the aggregate Net Weight of all parts identical with the one being reported which will be incorporated in the particular sub-division of the procurement item as listed. In the case of the piston rings mentioned above, it is the total net weight of the 12 piston rings.
b. Summary Bill of Materials.—On the Summary Bill of Materials the Total Net Weight is the total net weight of a particular material contained in the complete procurement item, unless the Summary Bill is subdivided by functional or other groups, at the specific request of the Claimant Agency involved; then it will be the total weight contained in the sub-division of the-procurement item as listed.
4
14. Total Gross Weight (Including Rejections, Etc.).
a. Detail Bill of Materials.—On the Detail Bill of Materials, Total Gross Weight is the Gross Weight Per Part multiplied by the Number of Parts. In the case of the piston rings referred to above, it would be the total weight of the particular material needed to produce the 12 rings including allowances as indicated in the definition of “Gross Weight.”
b. Summary Bill of Materials.— On the Summary Bill of Materials, the total gross weight (as defined) is the total of a particular material required to make all parts of the procurement item, except class B products. However, if the Summary Bill of Materials is sub-divided by functional or other groups, at the specific request of the Claimant Agency involved, it will be the total weight of the material needed to make all the parts in such a sub-division.
15. Lead Time (Manufacturing or flow time).—Lead time is the time interval expressed in months between the required delivery of materials from the plant of the supplier of the listed materials and final acceptance or delivery of the procurement item, or in the case of Class B products as defined, upon completion of their manufacture. This lead time shall be based on the assumption that required materials will be available for delivery when needed.
For example, the lead time for steel plate would be the total elapsed time from the delivery of the steel plate from the steel mill to the time of acceptance by the agencies of the item of procurement in which the plate is incorporated.
As a special example, the lead time for bar stock from which a steel forging is made would be the total elapsed time from the delivery of the bar stock from the steel mill to the time of acceptance by the agencies of the item of procurement in which the finished forging is incorporated. This time will include all intermediate transportation and processing time such as time for forging, heat treating, machining, assembly into the final product and testing.
Note.—It is-recommended that in those cases where questions arise as to the foregoing definitions or with respect to the procedure outlined below, the prime consumer immediately refer the matter for decision to the appropriate Claimant Agency requesting the information in order that no delay or unnecessary effort be involved in this work.
General Instructions.
1. All Bills of Materials should include materials required for those parts manufactured by the Prime Consumer and for those items purchased from Secondary Consumers, with the exception of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) produced by other Prime Consumers and products on the complete Class B list. The Class B list is divided into two parts: those products which must be listed on Bills of Materials (Group I) and those products which do not have to be listed on any Bills of Materials (Group II). Further details regarding the Class B products are contained in the description appearing at the head of the list.
In the case of those products which are to be listed (Class B— Group I and GFE), the Bill of Materials is to show by name and part number (if available) the quantity (in the terms specified on the B list) of each of these items required in the complete procurement item, and is to show the time interval required between the
5
receipt of listed products (including GFE items) as such, and final acceptance or delivery of the procurement item.
2. It is imperative that a Summary Bill of Materials covering the materials on the CMP Materials List be submitted by the Consumer, and Detail Bills of Materials may also be required by the Claimant Agency involved. Regardless of whether or not the Detail Bill of Materials is requested, the Consumer will find the Detail Bill of Materials form useful as a work sheet in accumulating the data to be furnished in the Summary Bill of Materials.
3. The presentation of a Summary Bill of Materials to the Claimant Agency involved should not be delayed awaiting the preparation of the Detail Bill of Materials in its final form. The submission of the Detail Bill of Materials may be deferred until a later date if such delay is anticipated. The presentation of a summary bill of materials covering all the materials or the CMP list must not delay the submission of information covering the controlled materials.
4. All Bills of Materials should indicate the gross weight, and, unless specifically exempted by the Claimant Agency, the net weight of each of the materials listed which are required for and contained in the complete procurement item. The presentation of Summary Bills of Materials should not be delayed awaiting the accumulation of net weight information. The submission of such net weight data may be deferred until a later date.
5. All materials in Summary Bills of Materials are to be reported in terms of the unit of measure indicated on the attached CMP Materials List. Particular care should be taken to indicate clearly the decimal position in reporting these weights.
6. The Bill of Materials is to include only direct material requirements; that is, materials incorporated in the finished product (for quantities, see definitions of net and gross weight), including for example, material deposited in plating and material in packaging when specified as an integral part of an item of procurement. Materials indirectly used in the manufacturing process should be omitted, such as grinding wheels, lubricants, coolants, and operating and testing supplies.
7. In covering small purchased assemblies, which in the aggregate consume small quantities of the listed materials, it will be satisfactory to accept from the secondary consumer supplying such assemblies, a prototype Bill of Materials. This must be noted on the Bill of Materials.
8. At the request of the Claimant Agency, the Prime Consumer will indicate for the materials listed in his Summary Bill of Materials, approximate lead times as defined. If the manufacturing period is relatively short, a single lead time may be sufficient. Where the manufacturing time is relatively long and where deliveries of materials are required at varying time intervals, this should be indicated. In such cases, the quantity required at each time interval should be listed separately on the Summary Bill of Materials and the lead time listed in the appropriate column.
9. It will be necessary for the consumers to determine the metal content of those materials marked with an asterisk (*) on the CMP Materials List in certain alloys. To do this, the specification or chemical analysis of the material in its commercial form must be
494237°—42---------2
ascertained. This will indicate the percentage of the total weight of the CMP Material represented in the alloy. Such percentages, multiplied by the gross and net weight, as defined, of the alloy will develop the gross and net weight of the alloying metal required. For example, if 100 pounds of Nickel Silver Castings are required for the production of a given item, and its specification contains 22 per cent Nickel and 26 per cent Zinc, the Nickel and Zinc gross weight requirements will be reported as 22 pounds and 26 pounds, respectively, for that item, in addition to other materials.
It will be also required to determine the Cadmium, Nickel, and Zinc content of plated products. Where possible, determine the weight by dividing the weight of anodes and metallic salts consumed by the number of pieces produced. Where this information is not available, estimates can be made by the surface area method.
10. In order to eliminate, so far as practicable, all unnecessary work, those consumers who have already furnished Bills of Materials of one type or another, should consult the Claimant Agency involved, to ascertain whether such data are in sufficient detail to meet the requirements of these instructions. In all cases where a Prime Consumer wishes to submit his Bill of Materials on a form other than that included with these instructions, permission must be obtained from the Agency requesting the Bill of Materials to use such a form.
11. In order to obtain complete and accurate information, it is desirable to have a definite group assigned to prepare Bills of Materials information. This group should contain individuals familiar with engineering specifications and with production materials and methods. However, the exact method used by a Prime Consumer to produce Bills of Materials is his own responsibility, providing the information compiled is as requested.
12. The Prime Consumer must maintain Bills of Materials on all procurement items on a current basis at all times by submitting revisions indicating the effect of all engineering or specification changes which substantially alter the total quantity of any material required during a month.
Detail Bill of Materials.
a. The Detail Bill of Materials (illustrative form attached) should be prepared from the engineering parts list and should show an analysis by materials of each component part (excluding GFE and Class B products) of the procurement item under the following headings:
(1) Drawing or part number.
(2) Part Name.
(3) Name of material.
(4) Material Code number (only to be furnished when specifically requested).
(5) Specification or chemical analysis of the material (only to be furnished when specifically requested).
(6) Size of material (only to be furnished when specifically requested).
(7) Net weight of finished part.
(8) Gross weight (including rejections, etc.).
(9) Number of parts.
(10) Total net weight.
(11) Total gross weight (including rejections, etc.).
7
b. Parts in the Detail Bill of Materials should be arranged in functional groups. In general these groupings should be determined by the Prime Consumer in accordance with his own company or industry practice and should be modified only to the degree necessary for adequate scheduling by the Claimant Agencies. It is required that extra parts, spare part sets, and accessory equipment slnpped concurrently be separated from the basic unit of procurement.
c. When reporting small purchased assemblies excluding Class B products, which are not generally separated into individual parts by the purchaser, the analysis, unless specified by the Claimant Agency involved, may be made for the entire assembly without detail as to 6ach individual part, except for individual pieces or subassemblies which may be furnished in spare part sets. Components of such purchased assemblies should be listed in a group immediately following the name and part number of the assembly in order that they may be identified readily as parts of such assembly.
d. It may be necessary in some cases to make an engineering estimate of material requirements for small items which require negligible amounts of material by grouping them and omitting detail. In each instance where this procedure is used, a notation on the Bill of Materials should indicate the manner in which such material estimates were calculated.
e. The Detail Bill of Materials shall contain separate lists of Class B items and GFE items incorporated in the procurement item, as explained in General Instructions number one.
Summary Bill of Materials.
a. The Summary Bill of Materials (illustrative form attached) shall show total amounts of each material shown on the CMP Materials List required for a procurement item excluding class B products and GFE as follows:
(1) CMP Materials List name.
(2) CMP Material Code number.
(3) Total net weight.
(4) Total gross weight (including rejections, etc.).
(5) Lead Time or Lead Times.
b. Any further analysis by functional or other grouping need be made only at the specific request of the Claimant Agency requesting the Bill of Materials, and should be considered as a limited and nonrecurring special study.
c. The Summary Bill of Materials shall contain a separate list of Class B items incorporated in the procurement item being reported, as explained in General Instructions number one.

CLASS B PRODUCTS LIST
This list is intended to include certain specified types of intermediate products or component parts which may be included in either Class A or other Class B products and, in addition, certain specified classes of civilian-type end products. Manufacturers of any Class A or Class B product will exclude from their calculations of bills Of materials the amounts of material contained in any of the items appearing on the Class B product list.
Manufacturers of Class A or Class B products requiring items which appear on the “Class B—Group I List” shall report their requirements for such products in units, dollars, etc., as is specified in the list. Secondary consumers shall report their requirements to prime consumers and prime consumers shall accumulate their own requirements and the requirements of their secondary consumers and forward a summary of such total requirements to the Claimant Agency. The Claimant Agencies shall report their total requirements for each of the Class B—Group I product categories to the War Production Board.
Manufacturers of Class A or Class B products requiring items which appear on the “Class B—Group II List” shall not report their requirements for such items. Requirements of manufacturers of Class A and Class B products for items appearing on the “Class B—Group II List” will be estimated by the War Production Board in cooperation with the Claimant Agencies.

DEFINITIONS
Carbon Steel:
All Steel other than alloy steel.
Alloy Steel:
Steel is classified alloy when the maximum of the American Iron and Steel Institute standard ranges given for alloying elements exceeds one or more of the following limits:
Manganese in excess of 1.65% maximum;
Silicon in excess of 0.60% maximum;
Copper in excess of 0.60% maximum;
Aluminum, chromium, cobalt, columbium, molybdenum, nickel, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, zirconium, or any other alloying element in any amount specified or known to have been added to obtain a desired alloying effect.
Bars, Hot Rolled:
Concrete Reinforcing Bars.—These are hot rolled from billet steel, rail steel, or steel axles, and are further described as plain or deformed bars, used to resist tension, compression, or shear forces in concrete.
All Other.—These include rounds, half rounds, ovals, half ovals, squares, flats, hexagons, octagons, special sections and angles, channels, tees, and zees, under 3" maximum cross-sectional dimension but excluding angles, tees, zees, channels and beams 3" and larger in maximum cross-sectional dimensions (see Structural Shapes below). Hot rolled bars are produced from billets or blooms to specified dimen-► sions within standard tolerances without subsequent processing of the bars for accuracy or surface polish. They are commonly cut into straight lengths but in small sizes may be produced in coils.
For complete details as to description of hot rolled carbon steel bars and alloy steels see Steel Products Manuals covering these products, issued by the American Iron and Steel Institute.
Bars, Cold Finished.—Cold finished steel bars are produced from hot rolled material by several cold finishing processes, for the purpose of removing decarburization, improving surface finish, dimensional accuracy, alignment, or machinability; also in the case of cold drawn and cold rolled material, to increase the yield strength and tensile strength. Cold reduction processes and surface improvement processes used singly or in combination include cold drawing, cold rolling, turning, grinding, polishing, and straightening.
Semi-Finished Steel:
Ingots.—Ingots are steel castings of different shapes and sizes in an unworked condition and of suitable form for subsequent working by rolling or forging.
Blooms, Billets, and Slabs.—are hot-rolled or forged from ingots to approximate cross-sectional dimensions with rounded corners.
Forging Quality Blooms, Billets, and Slabs; Squares not less than 4x4" cross section dimension. Rectangles other than squares minimum cross sectional area 16 square inches; minimum thickness 2".
For complete details as to description of semi-finished products see Steel Products Manuals covering Carbon Steel Semi-finished Products and Alloy Steels, issued by the American Iron and Steel Institute.
Tube Rounds.—Rounds used for manufacturing seamless pipe and tubing.
30
Skelp.—Flat rolled steel used for the manufacture of welded pipe.
Sheet and Tin Bar.—Slabs used for re-rolling into sheets and tin plate.
Pipe:

10.2 lb. per square foot or heavier, over 6" wide, for carbon steel.
10.2 lb. per square foot or heavier, over 12" wide, for alloy steel.
Plates are produced either from slabs or direct from ingots by hot-rolling. They are termed sheared plates or sheared mill plates when rolled between horizontal parallel rolls only, and trimmed on all edges. They are termed universal plates or universal mill plates (abbreviated U. M. plates) when rolled 'between horizontal and vertical parallel rolls, and trimmed on the ends only.

Stainless flat rolled products up to but not including .1875" (3/16") thick, any width;
Alloy flat rolled (except stainless) products up to but not including %" thick, any width.
Steel Castings:
Cast steel is steel that is poured into and allowed to solidify in metal or refractory moulds. Steel castings are any cast steel objects that do not require further mechanical working.
31
Structural Shapes and Piling:
Structural Shapes.—General term applied to flanged sections (3" and over cross-sectional dimension), including Channel, I, L, Z, or T shapes, for construction of buildings, bridges, ships, transmission towers, railroad cars and many other structural purposes.
(1) American Standard Sections is the designation applied to the series of I-beams, channels, and large angles originally established in 1896 by the Association of American Steel Manufacturers.
(2) Wide Flange Sections are those I- and H-shaped beams and columns that are rolled on mills having both vertical and horizontal rolls, by which method it is possible to produce flanges much wider than those of the standard beams, with inside and outside faces of the flanges parallel or with a very slight taper on the inside face.
Piling.—Steel sheet piling consists of rolled steel shapes having interlocks along two opposite edges rolled integrally, for the purpose of interlocking the edges of each unit to the edge of adjacent similar unit in order to create a continuous steel wall.
Tin Plate, Terne Plate, and Tin Mill Black Plate:
Includes hot rolled, cold rolled, hot dip and electrolytic tin and terne plate. Tin mill black plate is a flat rolled product .0141" and thinner in thickness, over 12" to 32" inclusive wide.

Pressure.—Includes boiler tubing and other tubing subject to heat and pressure; tubing of various types subject to water and steam, internal and external pressure at elevated temperatures. Sizes refer to actual outside diameter and minimum wall thickness.
Wheels and Axles:
Wheels.—Wrought steel wheels are steel wheels for railroad and transit service, formed by heating steel blocks to a malleable condition and subsequently forming to size by a series of forging and rolling operations.
Axles.—A steel axle is a special shaft or spindle on which a wheel is mounted, that is made from a bloom or billet heated to a malleable condition and subsequently forged to desired shape.
Wire Rods, Wire, and Wire Products:
Includes wire rods, drawn wire, barbed and twisted wire, woven wire fence, wire nails and staples, wire bale ties, wire rope and strand, welded fabric, and all other wire products.
Examples for Use in Determining Gross Weight
