BOM History Management
Multiple concurrent changes during the individual lifecycle of products and featured components can frequently require management at both the component and product level; recognizing that different products and components may have their own independent development lifecycles while having interdependencies at the same time. All changes have to be tracked. The transparency of this helps users to understand the lifecycle and its history (changes over time). Zuken’s modules within the DS-2 PLMready solution provides thorough history management, capabilities to guarantee 100% transparency of all changes and interdependencies across all objects within a lifecycle.
Business requirements including those specifics to Bill of Materials (BOM), Parts Lists, or Component Lists, Libraries and Components such as specification or product changes, may demand multiple concurrent changes during the individual lifecycle of a product and the related BOM, Library and Component.
In this age, the concurrent engineering approach potentially needs to be managed at the Bill of Material (BOM), library, component and product level; recognizing that products, BOMs, libraries and components may have their own independent development lifecycles - while having interdependencies at the same time. Therefore all changes to Bill of Materials have to be tracked consistently. Additional transparency is required to help you to understand the lifecycle and its history (changes over time) of BOMs, in accordance to the above shown relations.
Zuken’s e-PLM solution provides an in-depth History Management approach to guarantee 100% transparency of all changes and interdependencies across the lifecycle of all BOMs and product related changes.
