BoM Management Workshop
Download the Brochure
Managing BoMs is critical to the success of a product. The BoM drives a chain of activities throughout the product development process.
Typically, BoMs are managed in multiple systems, which results in manual data entry and creates opportunities for errors.
Often times, the BoM isn’t integrated into the change management system. Environments like this aren’t as efficient as they could be and impacts time-to-market, increases costs, results in data issues, increases scrap, and reduces profits.
