CIDEON Software | Lösungen Autodesk & SAP

Streamline BOM Management with PLM/PDM Solutions

PDM and PLM systems enable seamless bill of material (BOM) management. Efficient BOM management optimizes production processes through clear structuring and transparency. It enables accurate material requirements planning, minimizes inventory costs, and improves product quality. BOM management promotes flexibility because changes can be implemented quickly. This improves resource management and increases overall efficiency.


What Is Bill of Material Management?


BOM management is a critical aspect of engineering and product development. It refers to the systematic management of bills of materials (BOMs), which provide a detailed breakdown of the parts, components, and materials required to manufacture a product.

Overall, BOM management plays a crucial role in the entire product lifecycle, from conception to production. Efficient BOM management enables companies to design and manufacture competitive, high-quality products.

Software for BOM Management


The management of bills of materials is of central importance in product development. There are various software solutions that enable and support efficient BOM management. The main goal here is to ensure consistent BOM structures in CAD, PDM and ERP and to use preconfigured processes to manage articles and BOMs. This means that bill of materials management is already taken into account in downstream operations during CAD design. Discover powerful software for BOM management now.






Benefits of Using Bill of Materials Correctly


Effective BOM management is crucial to ensure a smooth production process. With a well-organized and updated bill of materials, engineers and manufacturers can efficiently plan the required resources, order materials and optimize production processes.

Key Elements of Bill of Materials Management


Below we present six key elements of BOM management that help make it easier to work with bills of materials.


1 CIDEON

Component Identification

Each item in the bill of materials is clearly identified with relevant information such as name, part number, and description.

2 CIDEON

Structured Hierarchy

The BOM is organized hierarchically, with higher-level assemblies or products broken down into sub-assemblies and individual parts.

3 CIDEON

Constant Updating

Regularly reviewing and updating the bill of materials is crucial to ensure that it meets current design standards and reflects any changes or improvements.


4 CIDEON

Integration with CAD Systems

Integration with CAD systems enables seamless transfer of design data to the bill of materials.

5 CIDEON

Bill of Materials Variant Management

For products with different configurations, it is important to manage variants of the bill of materials to meet specific requirements.

6 CIDEON

Collaboration and Communication

Effective communication between departments, such as design, purchasing and production, is crucial to ensure that the bill of materials is implemented correctly.



Cideon Whitepaper: The Path to a Mechatronic Bill of Materials

Combining Electronics and Mechanics without Redundancy

Digitalization in machine building and plant construction has made great leaps forward in recent years in particular. Mechatronics is an important emerging topic. Mechatronic engineering deals with the integration of mechanics, electronics and other disciplines in product development. The basis for this is the mechatronic bill of materials, which contains all mechanical and electronic parts as well as components from other disciplines.

 

Find out how a mechatronic BOM is created in our whitepaper.
