DESCRIPTION:Why an mBOM Alone Isn’t Sufficient\nA Complimentary CIMdata Edu
 cational Webinar with John MacKrell\, Chairman\, CIMdata\n28 October 2021

 r\nDo any of the following statements about BOMs sound familiar?\n\n\nWe d
 efine a single mBOM as the master structure for our product definitions. T
 his does not support planning\, design\, documentation\, installation\, se
 rvices\, and other downstream activities.\nmBOMs are not sufficient to des
 cribe product configurations and variations.\nThe inability to support con
 figured products from design through manufacturing and operational life li
 mits the realization of a digitalized enterprise that can create and benef
 it from the digital thread.\nOrganizational churn leads to the loss of val
 uable knowledge.\n\n\nMany of CIMdata’s industrial clients cling to the mB
 OM (manufacturing BOM) as the single source of truth for product structure
 s. The thought process seems to generally follow “We build the product fro
 m the mBOM so it must be the master BOM.” While an mBOM may serve well as 
 the master BOM for some relatively simple products\, this is not the case 
 when products become moderately complex\, when they have a multitude of po
 tential configurations\, and when companies want to support capabilities\,
  such as using the digital thread to support products throughout their lif
 ecycles.\nThis webinar will delve into some of the issues and problems wit
 h this course of action and offer ways to alleviate them. The webinar will
  also describe the other BOMs critical to supporting activities like syste
 ms design\, digitalization\, and digital thread.\nWhat will I learn?\n\n\n
 You will learn about the many forms of BOMs and gain an understanding abou
 t how to use them.\nYou will understand why the mBOM is not able to suppor
 t advanced product lifecycle concepts.\nYou will learn why the mBOM is too
  inflexible to support highly configured and variable products.\nYou will 
 learn how to encourage groups to share and make knowledge readily availabl
 e.\n\n\nWho should attend?\n\nProduct planners and managers\, product conf
 iguration specialists\, PLM team leaders\, PLM team members\, PLM users\, 
 product development engineers\, manufacturing engineers\, field service pe
 rsonnel\, product managers\, IT leadership\, solution providers\, and anyo
 ne who wants to learn more about PLM and BOM processes.\n\nDuring the webi
 nar you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics dis
 cussed.\n&nbsp\;
