Each manufacturer has its own unique production process, and production is reliant on your Bill of Materials (BOM). An accurate and well-managed BOM can increase sales revenue through faster product releases and lower product costs.
However, a poorly managed BOM can lead to a higher Cost of Goods Sold or loss of revenue due to:
- inaccurate part information
- excess or inadequate inventory
- quality issues
- longer time to market
- poor collaboration between suppliers, vendors and contract manufacturers
As such, manufacturers looking to run lean must be able to change quickly in order to remain competitive.
