Bill of Materials (BOM) processes still play a critical role in defining and communicating product information. However, traditional BOM practices cannot handle the current pace of innovation, the increased demand for product personalization, or today’s product complexity. Add in mechanical, electrical and software design disciplines - communicating across disconnected silos - and it only gets more complicated. As the industry continues to raise the bar with faster new product introductions, agile manufacturers can keep up with this pace by taking an approach that encompasses digital, virtual product modeling and simulation across the enterprise. This eBook examines the challenges manufacturers face with their current BOM processes and explains how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform supports a holistic virtual product definition.
