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
- Instantly know a part's release status
(e.g., unqualified, qualified, obsolete)
- 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

software: valuable
features that go beyond simple BOM management; comprehensive,
context-sensitive documentation; professional configuration and operation
advice; training materials; on-going feature improvements
