Unifying Engineering & Manufacturing BOM's
Why Attend the Webinar?
BOM’s or Bill of Materials specifies the required materials needed to define a product design or to assemble a product.
The engineering BOM (EBOM) is used to specify the parts that make up the product design, while the manufacturing BOM (MBOM) is used to support the fabrication or assembly of the product. So, knowing this one might ask, do we need both?
The answer is, it depends. It depends on who needs it and what they need it for. If the person asking needs to understand the design and functioning of the product without having the physical parts, then they would use the EBOM. If on the other hand they want to know if other items such as consumables, or fixtures, or what operational tools, equipment, or steps will be required, then they would use the MBOM which typically list these items in addition to the items listed in the EBOM.
The engineering BOM is generally put together during the design phase, as parts and sub-assemblies are created and combined to fully define the product. The manufacturing BOM is generally starts with the items in the EBOM, then other non-design items are added to support the production and final assembly.
Join us on Thursday, March 9th at 10:00AM ET, as TriMech's System Architect - Data Management, Keith Thompson, will look at the composition of an EBOM, how it is used to make the MBOM, and how we can keep them unified and in sync.
During this Webinar you will learn:
- The difference between engineering BOM’s and manufacturing BOM’s
- How engineering BOM’s and manufacturing BOM’s are created
- Ways of keeping EBOM’s and MBOM’s linked and in sync
- Considerations when dealing with both
