Managing the bill of materials - manufacturing projects typically involve complex or challenging sales, engineering, purchasing and production requirements.
For project-oriented Engineer to Order (ETO) companies and small to medium sized discrete manufacturing (ATO) companies, effectively managing the list of all components needed to make a final product is crucial.
Often, many multi-disciplinary teams (mechanical, electrical) are involved and in the case of ETO companies, the BOM is different for each individual customer.
The Cyco AutoManager BOM Module architecture enables manufacturers to accommodate an ever-changing bill of materials, enforce standards, collaborate with other departments, customers and suppliers, and integrate with existing CAD and ERP systems.
