How BOM scrubbing could help reduce your system design costs

�ۿ۴�ý — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 13:17:24 +0000

Around 80% of a product’s budget is decided at the engineering BOM stage – i.e. in early development. Nowadays it is common for mechanical and electrical engineering companies to use CAD drafting tools and 2D to 3D modeling applications to get new system designs into production faster. However, BOM management is equally important.

Your plan should include adequate resources for filing and retrieval of all engineering BOMs. This can be done easily with specialist BOM management software. Depending on the system installed, you can make and record BOM changes, create assembly reports, and BOM scrubs archived data.

You can also use BOM software as a component cross-reference tool to check which components have been used in previous projects. This can cut costs enormously, avoiding the need to build parts from scratch.

A mere 8% of the budget for a new product is spent during the design phase. However, that design has already determined 80% of all future spending, 60% of it at the creative concept phase. An ill-thought creative concept idea can be perilous to profits once you get to the manufacturing stage – not through the design itself, which may be brilliant, but through the costs incurred during the product lifecycle. However cutting-edge a new bag-less vacuum cleaner or hybrid auto is, it’s no use if you have to price it out of reach of the consumer market in order to break even.

Understanding the importance of things like regular BOM scrubbing is essential to modern engineering. We at �ۿ۴�ý Technologies are experts in the fields of mechanical design and high-tech component engineering, with tailored to your exact requirements.

Power Systems Manufacturer renews Component Lifecycle Maintenance contract with �ۿ۴�ý

�ۿ۴�ý — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 17:23:27 +0000

�ۿ۴�ý Technology Services, a leading engineering services provider to global corporations, has been awarded the component life cycle management contract for the 3rd consecutive year by a leading Power Systems Manufacturer in the USA. Faced with surprise obsolescence notices, the customer needed a robust process to gain control over the component obsolescence management process. As part of this engagement, �ۿ۴�ý will be ensuring that all components in the customer’s Bills of Material are tracked for life cycle changes and notifications are provided to the customer wherever a part change occurs. The customer had earlier used multiple database subscriptions to monitor PCNs and manage life cycle issues, but they had been facing obsolescence issues that came up suddenly during the manufacturing stage, because the database coverage was not comprehensive. The project was first awarded to �ۿ۴�ý, based on a trial, where the customer tested the service on a few BOMs and found the service to be proactive and comprehensive, making is a far superior choice compared to other options in the market. �ۿ۴�ý has implemented a customized obsolescence management solution, which covers all types of components, including off-the-shelf electronic parts, mechanical parts and custom parts, to ensure maximum coverage from an obsolescence management perspective. “Rather than providing a consolidation of Product Change Notices (PCNs) �ۿ۴�ý services provide actionable reports, highlighting components which are approaching obsolescence with suggested risk mitigation strategies. Our impact analysis reports are very useful to customers, as it become the focal starting point for their action plan. Additionally, the alternate part comparison reports help a customer to confidently decide whether the suggested cross reference is a good fit to use in their product” said Suresh Urs, Head- Delivery at �ۿ۴�ý. “The quality of service and coverage of BOM provided by �ۿ۴�ý has resulted in the customer renewing the contract for the third consecutive year with us and we appreciate their trust in our services” added Mr. Urs. �ۿ۴�ý has been providing component life cycle management services for more than a decade now. The component engineering division has customized services for obsolescence management, BOM cleansing, Component database management, Cost reduction, Second sourcing and Environmental Compliance.

BoM Cleansing and the Circuit Board Engineer

�ۿ۴�ý — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 10:00:04 +0000

All manufacturing and engineering processes require a , whether it’s manufacture, maintenance, or design. An electronic engineering bill of materials lists all the materials and components used to construct, for example, a printed circuit board.

In a small facility, where the entire project is handled by one or two people, BoM management is quite straightforward. However, where a team or separate companies are involved, things can get complex. The most straightforward scenario begins with a design technician using CAD drafting software (such as Orcad) to create a PCB design. This will include a bill of materials showing what components are needed, and in what amounts. This is then passed on to a PCB layout engineer, who will source the components needed (perhaps using obsolescence management tools to check the components) and construct the printed circuit board.

In busy companies where multiple orders are the norm, BoMs are sent from the Orcad PCB design engineers to purchasing departments, who aggregate the BoMs from all current projects into a single bill of materials, which is then sent to the relevant suppliers. To maintain accuracy and avoid obsolescence problems, BoM scrubbing should be a part of this.

Also called BoM cleansing, BoM scrubbing involves validation or correction of 3 key components for each item ordered: part number, component description, and name of manufacturer. These are compared to content on a central database, ensuring the details match up. An essential element of master data management, is just one of the high value engineering services we at �ۿ۴�ý Technologies offer to our clients.
