Beyond PDM, the Windchill value series - Webinar 3: BOM Transformation

BOM Transformation

As companies mature in their digital transformation journey, managing product data is no longer sufficient. The real value lies in connecting engineering, manufacturing, and service perspectives into a single, consistent product definition. This webinar explores how to achieve that through effective BOM transformation in Windchill.

Why BOM Transformation Matters

A Bill of Materials (BOM) is more than a structured list, it represents the digital definition of your product throughout its lifecycle.

However, different teams work with different views:

• Engineering (eBOM)
• Manufacturing (mBOM)
• Service (sBOM)

Without proper alignment, this leads to inefficiencies, duplicated work, and data inconsistencies across systems.

During this session, we will show how BOM transformation enables a connected digital thread, ensuring reliable, accurate, and complete product data across the organization.

What You Will Learn

In this webinar, our experts will guide you through:

• BOM transformation fundamentals
  Understand how product data is captured, configured, and managed across its lifecycle.
• Windchill as a platform for BOM transformation
  Discover how Windchill connects eBOM, mBOM, and sBOM in one integrated PLM environment, bringing the right data to the right people at the right time.
• Windchill BOM Transformer overview
  Learn how associative BOM transformation supports alignment between engineering and manufacturing perspectives while maintaining consistency.
• Maintaining equivalent BOMs and resolving discrepancies
  Explore how to manage multiple BOM views across disciplines while ensuring continuity and traceability throughout the product lifecycle.
• Automatic BOM transformation
  See how rule-based automation and workflows can streamline BOM creation and updates, improving data quality and reducing time to market.
• Advanced functionality
  Gain insights into additional BOM Transformer capabilities such as “Made from” and “Assemble As”, enabling more flexible and scalable product structuring.
