The Bill of Materials in Excel, Erp, Planning and Plm/Bmms Software

Finally a book that explores the benefits of proper Bill of Materials management!

The Bill of Materials, or BOM, is the list of raw materials, sub-assemblies, intermediate

assemblies, sub-components, components, parts and quantities needed to manufacture an

end product. Not only relevant to manufacturing, the BOM is vital to design and

engineering, sales, customer service and your suppliers, and to function optimally each

needs access to BOM information

Yet, while the technology to enable collaboration on purchase orders and

other transactions within supply chain management is gaining in popularity, the BOM is

often overlooked—to your company’s detriment!

This book aims to change the status quo and explains why the BOM is one of the most

important yet underutilized master data objects in your company. Through extensive use

of graphics and screen images from Arena Solutions and other software vendors, this

book demonstrates how the effective implementation of a BOM management system

allows your company to reap the benefits of enabling applications that rely upon clean

and up-to-date BOM information.
