방법 가이드: 항공우주 분야의 효율적인 BOM 관리

항공우주 및 방위 기업이 시스템 및 제품의 복잡성 증가에 직면함에 따라 여러 영역에서 엔지니어링 작업을 효율적으로 관리하는 것이 점점 더 중요해지고 있습니다. BOM(Bill of Materials)은 제품 개발의 필수 구성 요소이며 이와 관련하여 프로세스의 모든 이해관계자가 협력해야 합니다.

Adopt a collaborative BOM creation process in aerospace

BOM management in aerospace is crucial to the entire design process. The BOM connects engineering, manufacturing, procurement, sales, finance, servicing and management. Therefore, it’s critical for your aerospace business to adopt a collaborative BOM creation process that's accessible, visible and effective. Accurate BOM management is made easier using product lifecycle management (PLM) software.

Synchronize many BOM types in aerospace

A complete and accurate BOM for today’s aerospace and defense products may contain mechanical, electrical, electronics and software parts and components. Manually implementing all this data into a centralized location is time-consuming and prone to human error.

Modern PLM solutions solve this issue by synchronizing many BOM types. These solutions automatically generate a BOM based on current inputs whenever design changes are made. This data can then be accessed across your aerospace organization – even by remote teams – to make better business decisions from a single source of truth.

Manage product variability in aerospace

It’s not uncommon for products to come with different variations. There are aircraft for civilian, military and commercial uses. There are variations in size, engine type, flight range and control options. These differences affect procurement, inventory management and sales.

This is where the BOM plays a critical role in managing product variability in aerospace. Trying to manage the BOM with traditional methods like spreadsheets further complicates an already complex process. By implementing PLM-based BOM management, your BOM can take care of variability, saving additional costs and significantly reducing any chance for errors.

In this BOM management in aerospace ebook, learn how your team can:

• Synchronize multiple data sources to secure BOM information from all design domains
• Provide easy access to the most up-to-date version of the BOM
• Use the BOM to track product variability for differently manufactured aircraft
• Overcome BOM creation and management challenges
