As a follow up to the BOM in Excel article, what would constitute a perfect system for managing Bills of Material (BOM) in a PLM system? Let’s divide the capabilities of this ideal system into three categories; mandatory, essential and nice-to-have. For the sake of definition, a Part is an end item in a BOM structure, and an assembly is

The Problem Before computers, engineering designs where carried out by armies of draftsmen toiling over drawing boards in vast offices. Some may still express nostalgia for those days, but like all else, change came along. Today sophisticated computer programs allow engineering designs to be created in a full 3D virtual world with great degrees of precision. In the initial phases
