Managing the Bill of Material (BOM) is a key component in managing the definition of a product. An inaccurate or incomplete BOM
can cause lost weeks in a schedule and result in wasted production runs.
|
|
Companies that do not leverage a PLM system to manage BOMs can suffer from inaccurate data, lack of revision control to view
and track changes, and informal Change/ECO management processes.
|
"With the implementation of Omnify PLM software, we have been able to achieve a single Engineering BOM that is controlled in Omnify PLM and can only be changed via the formal Omnify Change process. The process is automatic and fool proof and there can no longer be a difference between what is designed and what is built."
- R.M. “Marty” Jeide, program manager, Astronics Advanced Electronic Systems

BOM Routing
The BOM Routing module allows you to manage and track assembly work instructions on a step by step basis. Data can be associated to specific steps where required. This data can include pictures, files, and meta data such as text descriptors, cost, labor and process times, to provide an environment to manage the total manufacturing process. BOM Routing supports unique revisionining for each routing, preserving the routing history with each revision of an assembly object. BOM Routing also supports the electronic workflow approval process within Empower PLM.
- Document all manufacturing, assembly, inspection, and test procedures
- Define/Display operations/stages and steps/sequences (hierarchically)
- Revision and ECO/Change controlled routing
- Link to product records for document/graphical depiction
- BOM/Routing quantity validation
