Windchill BOM Management

Comprehensive out-of-the-box product structure management that provides full digital associativity across engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, sales, and service.

Windchill BOM Management: Digital Transformation

TriStar PLM Solutions knows that most manufacturers are grappling with speed and agility in the face of growing product options and variants. This is why TriStar provides Windchill BOM Management. Homegrown tools and processes make finding and ensuring traceability and associativity of the right product information challenging.

By adopting a parts-centric approach to managing their bill of materials, manufacturers can foster collaboration from the point of product conception through manufacturing, device connectivity, and field service.

Transform Your Bill of Materials for Organizational Improvements

By utilizing Windchill BOM Management software, you reduce the risk of errors and rework by eliminating the reuse of obsolete data. This saves time in development and industrialization and ensures that suppliers, factories, sales, and services are always aware of changes.

With automated synchronization between the respective bills of materials, the result is faster time to market, higher operational efficiency, greater component availability, and lower non-quality costs.

Comprehensive Windchill BOM Management and Transformation Functionality

With PTC’s Windchill BOM Management and transformation solution, product designers create and manage a part-centric digital product that can be leveraged at every step of the product lifecycle. Mechanical, software, electronic parts, and related artifacts can now be integrated.

This provides organizations a single interface for collaboration between domain systems such as CAD, PLM, and ERP. The PLM system ensures that everyone configures a customer order using the correct product information, from the shop floor worker to the service technician to the seller.
