Siemens Enterprise BOM—Driving Business Value
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA, 22 January 2025—Today, CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, published a new eBook focused on Siemens Digital Industries Software’s (Siemens) Enterprise Bill of Material (BOM) solution. The eBook describes manufacturers’ need to manage better the many BOMs used throughout their extended enterprise and the benefits of an enterprise BOM approach. It also describes Siemens’ enterprise BOM solution.
Developing, producing, and servicing today’s complex products requires maintaining consistent integration of requirements, structures, and BOMs across multiple technological and functional domains. An enterprise BOM contains all the data, relationships, and product variant definitions needed to support the perspectives of multiple communities, such as product design, engineering, test and validation, manufacturing engineering, manufacturing operations, suppliers, and service.
Siemens has developed a comprehensive enterprise BOM solution that enables manufacturers to engineer, produce, and service complex configured products while effectively managing change and feeding their downstream business solutions (e.g., ERP, service, and supply chain).
According to Ken Amann, an Executive Consultant at CIMdata, “CIMdata believes that an enterprise BOM enables a systems engineering approach to comprehensive requirements management and automatically synchronizes configurations, change management, and validation. It delivers significant value, including faster time to market, improved product quality, reduction in warranty and support costs, and many others.”
