4.2.4 BOM in ERP
In addition to the system described above and the BOM, the production department, product cost accounting department, material requirements planning (MRP) system, sales department also have a great relationship.
The production department uses the BOM to determine the manufacturing method of the part or final product, and determines the bill of materials to be picked up; the product costing department uses the current cost of each self-made or purchased part in the BOM to determine the cost of the final product and maintain the cost of the product. Contributing to the quotation and cost analysis of the company's business; BOM in the material requirements planning (MRP) system is one of the main input information of MRP.
When using BOM to determine the main production plan project, it dynamically determines the net demand of materials, knows which self-made parts and purchased parts are needed, how much, when and when, the difference analysis between standard materials and actual materials; the sales department accesses through the Internet. The data source can be easily quoted, provide accurate part design information and track self-service such as manufacturing process, and customers can also purchase spare parts for their own orders.
Through the BOM information, it is also convenient to evaluate the performance of each department. It is convenient to extract information for statistics and analysis. If you have new BOM data requirements, you can use the original BOM data to construct new BOM data and simplify the approximate BOM data. If the BOM information is in-depth research, it is also possible to study the error checking of other product BOM data through different product BOM data, so as to avoid errors caused by computer input or modification, and to minimize the error rate.
BOM is the foundation of any management system. It is almost related to all functional departments in the enterprise. Without the BOM, it is impossible to manufacture the same product, which directly affects the processing performance and use effect of the system. To this end, in order to improve the efficiency of the production management system, it is very important that the BOM is correct or not. Although the data is already very accurate, don't ignore the importance of people. For special changes, you can use the manual to add, delete, and modify the contents of the BOM information in the system to complete the task smoothly.
Through the establishment of enterprise "information (ERP)" management and "process (CAD / CAPP)" technology two main lines, with BOM as the information link, PDM as the core, combined with CAD / CAPP and ERP system, supplemented by Internet and EDI system , you can truly achieve the goal of enterprise information construction.
