A process spec defines the starting and ending points of a
process. An envelope, if you will. A product spec defines the
thing that is inside the envelope, that achieves those endpoints.
A customer has a process spec, a manufacturer hoping to sell to
that customer has a product spec.

A product specification describes the *function* of the entirety,
how much "A" it makes and in what amount of time. A BOM and
drawings are produced using the product specification as a guide.

A final inspection will assure that the product produced "meets"
the expectations outlined in the product spec.

Teachers know to look here for plagiarism too.
In fact Google has spotted either you or one of your classmates
already. The first hit on Google with:
product-spec OR product-specification process-spec OR
process-specification "bom"
