Production Process planning

The way your product gets designed isn't necessarily the way to assemble the product. The "as designed" Engineering Bill of Materials (BOM) needs to be reordered so that the product can be effectively assembled. Sovelia Core PLM system includes tools to reorder the Engineering BOM to a view that better suits production.

Production Process planning from Sovelia Core perspective is the action of mapping between the two environments. Component Assignment is sometimes another way of describing this and is also sometimes a task that the ERP system may perform. ERP tools tend to be more complexed to use and don't automatically update if the engineering BOM changes. There can be many different phases in the production process that need to be mapped to the Engineering BOM. A question to ask: Is this item in the Engineering BOM part of the Production process and is it relevant?

 

Then taking this process one step further we can look at the Production View inside Sovelia Core and seamlessly export the information to your ERP system.
