Component List Master

The Component List Master module of Zuken’s DS2 PLMready solution is the main module for generating accurate component lists. It collaborates data from a variety of sources including schematic and PCB designs, wiring, wire harness, component information, documents and drawings etc. For full flexibility it also supports multiple locations and sites, along with any variation and destination type. It unifies all component list information into one single source environment and ensures a controlled synchronization (4 Point Comparison - 4PC) to CAD Data. The built in change management process provides you with detailed transparency of each component list object change; such as obsolescence, alternative definition, preferred parts definition and second source definition etc.

Some of the main topics covered are listed below:

  • Define mandatory item of component list
  • Retrieve component data directly from linked CAD files
  • Select component by rating information (PPL)
  • 4 Point comparison
  • Unify multi-variation of component to single component list
  • Comparison with different component lists or earlier versions
  • Alternative component selection with a collaboration to Component Master setting
  • ECN/ECR/ECO on all component list entity levels
  • Search through all properties of component lists
  • Where used information
  • Individual views depending on your user access rights
  • Set filtering condition (environment, price, production status, etc.)
  • Direct cross-probe to CAD
  • History information
  • Engineering change management of component list
  • Verification of manufacturing status before release to product
  • CSV import/export (changed data etc.)

Zuken’s proven repository technology offers significant benefits in today's constantly changing development and library environment by providing you with technical independence.
