Cómo crear una lista de materiales precisa para maquinaria pesada

Con el aumento de la tecnología compleja, los equipos de ingeniería de maquinaria pesada de diferentes disciplinas deben colaborar fácilmente con partes interesadas internas y externas.

Como cada departamento retoca y modifica la lista de materiales (BOM) para sus propios fines, es importante que todas las partes que intervienen accedan con facilidad a la versión más actualizada.

En este e-book, se explica cómo las soluciones de gestión del ciclo de vida del producto (PLM) pueden ayudar a las empresas a respaldar un proceso colaborativo de lista de materiales y crear listas de materiales precisas para maquinaria pesada.

The role of bill of materials in product development

The BOM plays a key role in product development for heavy equipment companies. Once engineering develops this deliverable, downstream departments use it to guide development, from design to manufacturing to regulatory approvals and certifications. Engineering, manufacturing, procurement and even service all tweak and modify the BOM for their own purposes. So any shift in its creation or management must be efficient and cost-effective.

Synchronizing the BOM with CAD data

Since so many different departments rely on the BOM to make decisions, it must link to computer-aided design (CAD) data and supplier component databases to ensure the information is current and accurate. Traditionally, heavy equipment companies have used emails or spreadsheets to manually synchronize the BOM with CAD data. Modern PLM software can automatically generate the BOM based on existing templates whenever CAD models are checked in.

The advantage of SaaS solutions for heavy equipment manufacturers
