Product Life Cycle in OpenBOM
The production life cycle definition starts from the information. Product information is a foundation of design, planning, and manufacturing. How to manage it efficiently? How to define the lifecycle of a product.
You can easily export data from CAD to Excel, but you will spend a lot of time making updates, especially if you will add more data such as cost, suppliers, planning, and other pieces of information.
Data sharing is another challenge. Send emails with Excels is easy, but finding the right Excel is hard. You will make mistakes and your team will end up using the wrong Excel.
Think about counting unique parts in multiple CAD assemblies. It is tons of work. And if you add more items added outside of CAD, you can spend hours doing it and you will make mistakes.
Rollup cost is another level of complexity, translating unit of measures used in BOM to purchasing units will turn you in chief excel officer.
Manual tracking of change history, revisions, and managing change approvals will slow down processes and will lead to mistakes.
So, you end up with wrong parts, purchase orders with mistakes, delays, additional cost, hard time to forecast, lost opportunity to use volume orders, and many other problems. Sending wrong information to contractors can be even more expensive and disruptive for business. Your team working with the wrong information will spend more time working on the wrong design and product planning.
The root cause of all problems I described above is inefficient data management. To organize and manage data in a modern distributed environment is a challenge that cannot be solved using traditional database systems or file servers. OpenBOM provides a uniquely flexible and scalable approach in data organization to manage different aspects of the product development process, change management, quality management system, maintenance, purchasing and others. – Ref: OpenBOM
