What is a BOM?


RAW MATERIALS ENGINEERINGVARIANTS

FUNCTIONAL

The Bill of Materials provides a common language to communicate

the composition of a product between different disciplines and organizations at all phases of the

product lifecycle

Common BOM Practices

Managed in many disparate systems

▫ Different system per discipline and/or lifecycle phase

▫ Excel fills the gaps in enterprise system coverage

▫ Manual reentry between systems

Does not cover the entire product lifecycle

▫ No tracking before As-Designed

▫ No tracking beyond As-Built

▫ No reconciliation between lifecycle phases

Informal exchange with supply chain

Conclusions

Your Product BOM is a strategic asset

▫ Not a technicality

▫ Not a document

Strategic BOM Management forms the basis for

▫ Interdisciplinary communication

▫ Supply chain integration

▫ Reconciliation between lifecycle phases

▫ Enterprise access control

▫ Full lifecycle traceability
