MANUFACTURING BILL OF MATERIALS
A comprehensive base for a complete, easy-to-use manufacturing solution
The key to a successful manufacturing software implementation
begins with the Bill of Materials. A bill of materials (BOM) defines the
product structure in terms of materials and provides an optional connection to
plant resources such as machinery, tooling, and labor defined by a bill of
routing. The Bill of Materials application provides a solid base for production
activity to be defined, tracked and reviewed. It also enables more advanced
software such as MRP and CRP to be properly utilized. TRAVERSE Manufacturing
Bill of Materials is the place to start.
The software functionality
provided gives you the tools you’ll need to define both the simplest and
most complex bills of material. Designed to allow you to start simple and build
from there, the maintenance of the bills of material provides advanced features
such as detailed routing, multiple routing definition, mixed unit of measure,
cross group costing, scrap tracking, and total visual
documentation.
Revision numbers, effectivity dates, and drawing numbers
help to further define the BOM. You’ll find that the sophisticated feature
set built into this product is comparable to software that is priced
substantially higher. Yet, you can set up simple, material-only bills quickly
and with minimal work.
Features like a text file import enable you to
bring engineering bills directly into your current BOM database. Standard cost
maintenance, global component replacement, BOM change history, and a variety of
inquiry functions give you automated update abilities and quick access to vital
information.
The Available to Promise and Component Availability
functions take you beyond typical BOM functionality, giving you valuable
insight into current and future availability.
