Cincom Configuration Management empowers engineering and production executives with immediate access to design parameters (e.g. drawings), bills of material (BOM), routings and other project information required to meet customer demands. Defining and maintaining the product’s BOM and routing can mean significant time spent for both engineering and manufacturing, and if not managed properly, this can yield hundreds of thousands of duplicate BOMs and routings.
Configuration Management Benefits and Opportunities:
- Improve the accuracy of product configurations throughout their life cycles.
- Reduce BOM and routing maintenance and improve the availability of product-history information.
- Increase design reuse through master and modular BOMs and routings.
- Reduce inventory by better understanding on-hand products and configurations.
- Improve support for your customers after the point-of-sale.
