BoM
Two Minute Tips
Keeping Track of your BoM Building Progress
Sometimes, asset-intensive companies work with a third-party contractor to assist with a BoM building project. There are quite a few reasons for this. For one, building BoMs are expensive. Much time, resources, and expertise are required for successful completion, and not every asset-intensive company may possess the required expertise. In this case, it would make sense for these companies to outsource their BoM building rather than embarking on a project without adequate resources.

Excuse Me, This Is Not What I Ordered
Asset-intensive companies rely heavily on BoMs for work orders and maintenance operations. The accuracy of your work order depends on having the correct parts and quickly identifying those parts. Time is money for every organization. Therefore, maintenance personnel do not need to be spending unnecessary extra time trying to locate equipment. Having a BoM is only half the battle. BoMs are often laced with misinformation, missing parts, and errors which hinders maintenance and reliability operations.
