MA33-2: Managing the Entire Bill of Materials: The Autodesk® Productstream™ Edge
Instructors: Eamon O'Gorman - Autodesk, Inc. and Stephen Maloney - Autodesk, Inc.
Class Description: A single source of BOM data is critical in improving product development process efficiency. This class will feature a presentation and a series of live demonstrations showing how Productstream’s Bill of Material Management capabilities will enhance BOM accuracy and drive more efficient engineering processes. The importance of continuity of BOM data throughout the entire process from CAD to downstream systems such as ERP will be discussed. The benefits of ERP connectivity will also be discussed and justification for integration to downstream systems presented. In this class we’ll cover the following subjects:
- Manage BOM data from multiple CAD sources to establish the design BOM
- Include non-CAD data in the BOM
- Add bulk data items to the BOM to establish the engineering BOM
- Revisioning and Lifecycle State control of BOM data
- Different ways of viewing BOM data
- Release of BOM information and updating downstream systems such as ERP
- Connecting the Engineering BOM with ERP
- Benefits of ERP integration
