摘要：Basic terms related to components of complex products were categorised and a classification of these components was proposed. Analysed terms were illustrated with examples of structural components of furniture as representatives of complex products. The classification of terms referring to components of complex products was presented in the form applying the principles of propositional calculus and the set theory. These specific definitions may ensure greater clarity of descriptions in investigations concerning organisation and management of production. They may also be applied when constructing IT data bases, which facilitate the creation of lists of components as explosions and implosions of bills of materials and engineering bills of materials for complex products.
