Maybe! Can your systems can handle "alternative" and "preferred" part
numbers? If they can, choose your favourites of the various part numbers
and establish them as "preferred", then label all the others as
"alternative". Any time an alternative part number is called up, the
request can be routed to pick the preferred part number instead.

Then you do the QA bit to inspect the stocks of "alternative" parts against
the "preferred part" spec and put all the passes into a common bin under
the preferred part number.

Then you raise a few production permits for each product/project to use
part number X in place of part numbers Y, Z and A, with appropriate proof
that the two are identical. And Bob's your Auntie as they say ....
somewhere .... strange.

Any use?

Folks,

As a result of mergers we now have many duplicate and triplicate parts with
different part numbers in our ERP (ORacle) system. For example 3 resistors
part numbers - 123, 456 and 789, all are 1K, 5%, 1/8W, 0805.

The apparent solution (to maximize buying power and drive MRP) would be to
assign a common part number. But, if all the duplicate and triplicate parts
(thousands) are changed to a common part number at least 66% of the
schematics, CAD data, libraries, etc. will require changes. Hopefully
there's a less costly solution.

Is there anyone out there that can provide some insight?

Thanks,
Rick
