Non-Standard (Before)

Non-Standard (Before)

  • BOM files scattered across shared drives with no version control
  • Engineering changes communicated via email chains
  • No single source of truth for product specifications
  • Document approval cycles take weeks with paper signatures
  • Disconnected product data between engineering and manufacturing

Standardized (After)

Standardized (After)

  • Centralized BOM repository with full revision history
  • Automated ECO/ECN workflows with digital approvals
  • Single source of truth accessible to all stakeholders
  • Document review cycles completed in hours with e-signatures
  • Seamless engineering-to-manufacturing BOM transformation
