PDXpert PLM: The 7 Benefits of Bill of Materials Software
PDXpert product lifecycle management (PLM) software is
specifically designed to provide the following BOM
management capabilities:
- Easily find items using powerful attribute search
- Drag and drop complete parts onto the BOM in a single operation
- Identify and use only the most current data on BOMs
- Know what changes
have been made to each BOM revision (Add / Remove / No Change)
- Enforce rules for each assembly type (a BOM template) to ensure correct
BOM evolution
- Create reports for assembly costs and RoHS/WEEE materials
- Retain a full audit trail of all changes to the BOM, including when and
why it was changed, who approved the changes, how affected items were
dispositioned, and the total recurring and non-recurring cost
PDXpert PLM software will automatically assign document and part numbers
according to your specified rules; precisely locate exact matches and
possible alternate parts using free-form text searches; and has a "where
used" to show what assemblies use the item, where it appears as a source,
and what changes have affected it. PDXpert PLM software keeps you informed
of part and document release status and life cycle, and simplifies your work
by automatically displaying, on released bills of materials, each child
item's current revision.
You can make a snapshot duplicate of an existing bill of materials for
accurate, consistent edits; drag and drop data-rich items onto the BOM; and
print multi-level indented bills of materials , and roll-up costs and
materials into top-level product structures.
Enjoy the advantages of professionally developed and maintained PLM
software: valuable features that go beyond simple BOM management;
comprehensive, context-sensitive documentation; professional configuration
and operation advice; training materials; on-going feature improvements.

cost and material roll-ups) automatically.
PDXpert PLM has been specifically designed for smaller
organizations making the transition to automated product
structure management. It's easy for users to find their
items using free-form text search, then create complex
products by simple drag-and-drop BOM construction.
