This is the last column of this series “Integrated BOM”. In previous three columns, we explained about the features of BOM and the necessity and effective utilization of Integrated BOM management. This time, we would like to summarize key points in relation to Integrated BOM management and also suggest important points for establishing a BOM structure that is suitable for your company's products and manufacturing system.
Important points
1. Find and define BOMs that are suitable for your product and manufacturing system.
2. Reduce operational issues of linkage between engineering and manufacturing.
3. Establish a product life cycle management system with integrated BOM as core.
In the next section, we will explain the details of these points. Point 1: Find and define BOMs that are suitable for your product and manufacturing system.
There are different types of BOM depending on the production type. The following table is an example that describes the relationship between the production type and different types of BOM depending on production type. We think that it is important to define the multiple BOMs depending on your product and production type by each business phase.
In order to realize this, firstly, you need to define multiple BOMs by business application that are suitable for your production pattern. For example, In case of mass production type product, create multiple BOMs such as E-BOM according to the requirements of engineering department and M-BOM according to the requirements of manufacturing site from E-BOM, In case of individual order type product, create standard BOM, M-BOM, Service BOM and so on.
