Overview

BOM Management ERP Software for Better Production Control

A Bill of Materials affects almost every important manufacturing activity. If component quantities are incorrect, purchasing may order the wrong materials. If an outdated BOM reaches production, operators may use the wrong components. If inventory and BOM records are disconnected, planners may not know whether enough material is available to complete an order. Manual BOM management also becomes increasingly difficult as manufacturers add more products, product variants, subassemblies, production stages and engineering changes.

BOMs maintained in separate Excel sheets
Multiple versions of the same product BOM
Incorrect raw-material quantities
Production using outdated BOM revisions
Stock not connected with production planning
Production costing calculated separately
Lack of BOM approval workflows
No clear history of BOM revisions
Poor engineering-purchase-production communication
Material consumption differing from planned quantities

ERPLax replaces fragmented BOM records with a controlled, workflow-based system connected with the rest of your manufacturing operations — your team can maintain an approved product structure and use the same information across departments.

What is it

What Is BOM Management Software?

BOM Management Software, or Bill of Materials software, is a manufacturing system used to define and maintain all materials, components, subassemblies and quantities required to produce a finished product. A simple product may require only a single-level BOM. More complex manufacturing may involve multiple levels, where one finished product contains several subassemblies and each subassembly contains additional components.

A BOM can typically contain the finished product, raw materials, components, subassemblies, item codes, required quantities, UOM, wastage percentages, operations, work centres, standard production time, material and operation costs, alternative components, BOM version, effective date, approval status and production notes. ERPLax extends BOM management beyond simply maintaining a component list — the BOM becomes part of the broader manufacturing workflow for planning materials, checking stock, creating production requirements, issuing components, recording production and calculating manufacturing costs.

Why ERP

Why Manufacturers Need BOM Management ERP

Better Product Structure Control

Maintain a structured record showing exactly what goes into every finished product and subassembly.

Accurate Material Planning

Calculate raw-material and component requirements using approved BOM quantities before production begins.

Better Procurement Planning

Identify materials unavailable or below required quantity so purchasing can act before production is affected.

Improved Inventory Control

Connect planned component requirements with actual warehouse stock, reserved stock and consumption.

More Reliable Production

Production teams work against the correct BOM, quantity and process instead of informal instructions.

Better Manufacturing Costing

Use material quantities, component rates, operation costs and overheads to estimate manufacturing cost.

Easier BOM Changes

Maintain controlled BOM revisions when materials, quantities, processes or product designs change.

Improved Department Coordination

Engineering, planning, purchase, stores, production and management work from connected information.
