Comment créer une nomenclature précise pour l'équipement lourd

Face à l'augmentation de la technologie complexe, les équipes d'ingénierie d'équipements lourds de toutes les disciplines doivent collaborer facilement avec les parties prenantes internes et externes.

À mesure que chaque service ajuste et modifie la nomenclature (BOM) pour ses propres besoins, il est important que ces parties prenantes puissent facilement accéder à la version la plus récente.

Lisez cet eBook pour découvrir comment les solutions de gestion du cycle de vie des produits (PLM) peuvent aider les entreprises à prendre en charge un processus de nomenclature collaboratif et à créer une nomenclature précise pour les équipements lourds.

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

Cloud-based SaaS PLM solutions offer many advantages for heavy equipment manufacturers including:

• Security
• Fast implementation
• Distributed total ownership
• Extended collaboration
