SMARTEAM - BOM enables users to manage, manipulate, track and collaborate on product structures and Bills of Material (BOM) throughout the product lifecycle and across the extended enterprise and the supply chain - from an Item and Bills of Material (BOM)-centric approach, thus eliminating Item redundancy, minimizing errors, and expediting processes.
By addressing collaborative engineering and complex engineering configuration management and supply chain collaboration scenarios, SMARTEAM - BOM enable users to monitor, filter and view product structures and BOMs from as early as an "As Estimated" BOM of requirements, systems and functions, through "As Designed" BOM of Configuration Items and engineering design, until the "As Built" BOM of production Items.
Revolutionary, flexible, configurable and dynamic Item lifecycle and revision management rules that are based on a "Go-to State" engine, enable engineers to manage complex product structures, through corporate-adjusted item states, such as "Design-for-Prototype", "Release-for-Planning", or "Release-for-Mass Production". Users can compare and validate product content, and ensure fast and optimized "Design-to-Order" and other product development processes, already originated from ENOVIA SmarTeam diverse, multi-CAD Integrations.
Product Structure Copy and Compare capabilities ensure knowledge reuse and significant time savings, and powerful editing capabilities, applicable also through a SMARTEAM Briefcase technology, optimize manipulation and supply chain collaboration. Workflow automation can be applied on engineering changes made on the BOM, enabling faster innovation cycle, and improved product quality.
Product Structure Copy and Compare capabilities ensure knowledge reuse and Bill of Materials consistency validation and accountability, which grant significant time savings in managing engineering processes.
Enhanced Structure Management and Multiple Views functionality, which are the basis for object trees configuration handling, provide users with efficient "Impact Analysis" control across a variety of complex product configurations, and ensure traceability during engineering change processes.
Powerful, embedded BOM Editor accelerates users' productivity while managing BOM processes by providing an easy-to-use and flexible work environment.
ENOVIA SmarTeam Briefcase technology optimizes BOM manipulation and collaboration with supply chain partners. SMARTEAM - BOM enables users to easily and securely exchange data with suppliers and customers. Users can effortlessly extract BOM data, including all relevant files and meta-data, into a lightweight "Briefcase." The self-extracting Briefcase, which contains the required viewing and manipulation tools, can be distributed easily via email, FTP or the Web. Briefcase recipients without PDM or other applications can view the BOM and other related documents, view redlining marked by other users, and compare or track changes.
The BOM White Board (BWB) tool provides a safe environment for increased innovation and product quality. In this off-line environment, users manipulate temporary BOM versions, without affecting the real product structures, thus experimenting with BOM changes implications. Engineers create and manage baselines and snapshots of a variety of product structure configurations, and can share them with other by attaching their "in-progress" BWBs to engineering change workflow processes.
