Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure include methods, systems, and computer-readable storage mediums for receiving a plurality of bills of material (BOMs), each BOM including a data structure defining items within a respective product, enhancing each BOM based on one or more attributes to provide enhanced BOMs, clustering the enhanced BOMs into two or more clusters, determining a matching cluster from the two or more clusters at least partially based on a BOM of a new product introduction (NPI), selecting a sub-set of predecessor products from the matching cluster, and providing the sub-set of predecessor products as the one or more recommended predecessor products for selection by a user.
