Agenda
The history of BOM
BOM and ERP
MBOM and PLM
Future BOM practices
History In the beginning there was no BOM
History In the beginning there was no BOM
Industrial revolution
Production lines Focus on logistics: reorder-point (ROP) reorder-quantity (ROQ) Methods like: Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)
History
Once upon a time there was no BOM
Industrial revolution
1964 MRP – 1990 ERP – introduction of BOM
History

MRP – ERP – introduction of BOM
ERP just needed THE BOM. Engineering was a black box.
Engineering Manufacturing
… and often this is still the case 2012
History MRP – ERP – introduction of BOM
Engineering was a black box ERP just needed THE BOM
PDM and 3D CAD introduced a BOM for Engineering

PDM and 3D CAD introduced a BOM for Engineering and programmers started to connect them (1999)

PLM introduced a broader BOM concept, defining the Engineering BOM and Manufacturing BOM (2001)
EBOM MBOM
?
The purpose of the EBOM
The EBOM allows multi-discipline collaboration to work concurrently on the release of a complex product.
The EBOM concept supports iterations in quality and completeness
Release
Design Review
Test To ERP ? Release
Could the MBOM definition be in ERP ?
Can ERP work with the provided EBOM ?
Inside the ERP system manufacturing and process engineers will prepare the BOM for Manufacturing
PDM ERP • Yes, sometimes
in case of a single site
• No, in case of remote manufacturing
Could the MBOM definition be in ERP ?
Single Site: can ERP work with the provided EBOM ?
Get’s complicated for a modular product in a Build To Order process
Many changes on the engineering side

Could the MBOM definition be in ERP ?
Single Site: can ERP work with the provided EBOM ?
Get’s complicated for a modular product in a Build To Order process
Many changes on the engineering side
Would require coordinated work on the ERP side – working in two systems.
An ERP system is not designed to manage iterations and comparing changes at the design side
• No, in case of modular product
ERP
PLM
Not every industry process needs a MBOM
Sometimes companies design their products with manufacturing in mind – hybrid BOM
Usually not complex products or short time to deliver
Often single discipline (mechanical design)
• Yes, for simple, mechanical products
Could the MBOM definition be in ERP ?
Situation In ERP ? In PLM
Single Site Yes Multiple locations
Local Manufacturing Yes Global Manufacturing
Non-Modular Product Yes Modular Product
Simple Product Yes Complex Product
Small Companies Other Enterprises
Note: This is a generalization. Every rule has an exception. So there must be a rule without exceptions
Could the MBOM definition be in ERP ?
Situation In ERP ? In PLM
Single Site Yes Multiple locations
Local Manufacturing Yes Global Manufacturing
Non-Modular Product Yes Modular Product
Simple Product Yes Complex Product
Small Companies Other Enterprises
MBOM and PLM - Do we agree on PLM ?
Intellectual Property
The MBOM is part of the Intellectual Property Best to be managed in a PLM environment
Nobody owns data
Everyone shares data
The Critical Change
The complementary roles of PLM and ERP
(Old) slide from tech-clarity closing loop product innovation erp plm
“PLM systems are reason that ERP systems can execute, they bring the product definition and information to produce a product.” “ERP systems are built to schedule and execute the production of well defined products in the most efficient way. ERP systems are needed for the execution, often the core activity for manufacturing systems.”
MBOM and PLM
ERP - execution PLM – all product knowledge
Tools Automation
Manual Actions
reduce complexity !!

ERP - execution PLM – all product knowledge

Of course reality is not that simple: • Standard Parts – cost and status information • Integrated ECR / ECO processes • New Part approval process

Where is the MBOM ?
The MBOM managed in PLM is a best practice.
Managing change in the full context of the product
No late discoveries for errors
Benefit from the shared information
Customer centric / Quality
Where is the MBOM ?
The handling of the MBOM is a PLM indicator The company learned to change
The company understands PLM
However: PLM is not only about the MBOM
Not every company needs a MBOM
Not every company needs PLM
What can we expect in the future (5 years)
No change: Keep the MBOM in ERP
No burning need (boiling frogs)
Nobody gets blamed for not changing
Small and medium enterprises with strong IT focus on ERP
60 %
What can we expect in the future (5 years)
MBOM in PLM
Already there or planning ahead
They have understood the value of PLM
Large dynamic enterprises and young companies with a focus on global operations
30 %
What can we expect in the future (5 years)
MBOM is a “dashboard” Data is a combination of various systems
Using Search technology and semantic rules to collect and present data
A disruptive technology that can change the PLM – ERP game – no longer single source of the truth The TRUTH =
10 %
Conclusions
“Where is the MBOM” should not be the question It is the same question as “Should I stop smoking”
The answer is: Do we wait till we feel the pain?
