5 Critical Success Factors for Effective BOMs

Presentedy by: Doug Wallace

If your company was manufacturing automobiles, appliances, iPads, or even cardboard boxes, you certainly wouldn't think about scheduling production without a complete and accurate Bill of Materials (BOM) for each finished product so you could determine your raw material requirements from a master schedule. So why is it that many process industries not only begin operation without equipment BOMs, but go for years, sometimes decades, without them?

When we ask people to assess the quality of their equipment BOMs, the comments we get most often are either, "they don't exist," or, "we have some of the data, but we don't know if it's accurate." When we ask why that's the case, the response is usually, "we don't have the information," or more likely, "we don't have the resources to do all that work."
