Benefit
A custom equipment manufacturer maintained bills of materials in Excel spreadsheets stored on individual engineers' computers. BOM versions were inconsistent between design and production teams, causing frequent material procurement errors. When a design revision changed a component specification, the production team was not always notified, resulting in assemblies built with incorrect parts.
PMG Product BOM centralised bill of materials management with multi-level structures, material specifications, and quantity calculations. BOM revisions were tracked with change history and automatic notification to downstream users. The cost roll-up feature calculated total material costs across all BOM levels. Integration with procurement ensured material orders reflected the current BOM revision.
BOM-related material procurement errors decreased by 80% with a single source of truth. Design-to-production handoff time improved by 50% with automatic revision notifications. Material cost estimation accuracy improved to within 3% of actual, compared to 15% variance previously. The engineering team saved 10 hours per week previously spent reconciling BOM versions between departments.
