Bill of Materials
Naming and Numbering Project
What was the problem ?
The BOM Naming and Numbering system was ineffective and inefficient, leading to significant product identification, procurement, and inventory management challenges. The primary issues included
complex methodology
BOM numbers have complex methodology; too long and complicated
Not clear descriptions
The descriptions of the BOMs consisted of incomprehensible abbreviations
Duplicate BOM Names
Since the descriptions of the BOMs were not clear, new BOMs were created for repeated names
BOM Type
problem
BOM type definitions cannot be determined because they are not made with sharp boundaries
Solution
The following steps were taken to address identified issues and improve the efficiency of the part numbering system
BOM Description Standardization
Extensive review of existing BOM descriptions was conducted to identify inconsistencies and ambiguities
Departments Training
Comprehensive training sessions were held to familiarize all relevant departments with the new BOM numbering system and standard procedures
BOM Number Change
A detailed plan for the transition to the new BOM numbering system was created, including timelines, responsibilities, and potential challenges
Salesforce Update
Salesforce database was updated to adapt to the new BOM numbering system and seamless integration with other systems and processes was ensured

Achievements
Here are some significant benefits of this project that we achieved.
Productivity
Standardized BOM structures enable engineers and production teams to quickly find parts or information, while consistent BOM numbering facilitates more effective production planning and helps prevent delays in supply chain processes.
Optimization
A systematic and organized numbering system minimizes manual errors in data entry or the production process, while accurate tracking of parts or components prevents faulty production and excess inventory.
Communication
Presenting BOM data in a single format improves interdepartmental communication between engineering, procurement, and production teams, while also enabling global supply chain management by ensuring that teams in different locations speak the same language.
Sustainability
Easy updatability: The ability to expand the system as new parts and subcomponents are added ensures project sustainability. Flexibility: A standardized structure facilitates easier modifications and accelerates adaptation processes.
