Replay Webinar About our Speaker

Those responsible for planning and implementing the transformation of bill of materials management within their company frequently experience many or most of the following challenges:
  • It is difficult to position bill of materials management within the context of a digital thread strategy
  • It is difficult to articulate the uniqueness and inherent advantages of the multi-view BOM management approach in comparison to the more traditional single or dual BOM management approaches.
  • The lack of confidence in the multi-view BOM capabilities expressed by the PLM software providers.
  • The lack of real-world examples of multi-view BOM implementations.
  • The lack of real-world examples of business benefits achieved from, or even identified and in the plan for, multi-view BOM implementations.

In the Multi-view Approach to Lifecycle Product Structures Management, referred to by some as the “multi-view BOM approach,” a consolidated information resource contains all the information and maintains all the relationships between data elements that are needed to support the perspectives of multiple communities within Product Engineering, Manufacturing, and Service. The basis of value with this approach is automated reconciliation and synchronization across domain views that can be created and managed with optimal autonomy. CIMdata’s research and industrial consulting activities have revealed that commercial PLM solutions have advanced within the last five years to enable this approach. In response, leaders in many industries are starting to implement multi-view solutions. With the newness and complexity of this application, there is little experience to draw from to identify and predict value. This webinar will describe several case studies and the expected business value identified by those making these investments.

What will I learn?
  • You will gain an understanding about the interrelated concepts of Digital Thread, lifecycle product structure, and the connection between the four principal product structure configurations.
  • You will gain an understanding about the purpose of eBOMs, mBOMs, and sBOMs and the unique strategic benefits of the multi-view BOM approach.
  • You will comprehend the state of maturity of multi-view BOM capability available in commercial software and maturity of industrial implementations.
  • You will gain an appreciation about the challenges, successes, and value objectives of industry leaders who are implementing multi-view BOM solutions.
  • You will learn how you can participate in an exciting new research project that CIMdata is embarking upon.
