Modernize Your BOM Process
Bill of materials (BOMs) have been around for centuries, playing a critical role to define and communicate product structures. The BOM has served as the master, single source of truth for purchasing, manufacturing, and the rest of the organization.
An engineering BOM (EBOM) is typically created by engineering, often linked to the MCAD and ECAD files that contain detailed product data including geometry specifications, and then extended with additional information to support downstream functions such as sourcing and purchasing. They are also usually recreated entirely into separate manufacturing BOMs (MBOMs) to support manufacturing processes and planning.
While any type of BOM is a useful documentation tool to connect enterprise stakeholders and contributors, a traditional BOM is no longer dynamic and comprehensive enough to serve as the master definition of the product or the manufacturing processes.
