At AAPCB there are hundreds of jobs from different customers built every
month. Almost everything comes in as Excel.
I can not tell you how bad Excel BOMs are. The really good BOMs have maybe
90% right, the very best 95%. And that excludes any purchasing info. But
even 2% errors and 250 parts is 5 part questions that go back and forth with
the customer. It takes more time that the remaining issues and causes
delays.
Using Excel to manage BOMs is a hack but it is all most engineers have.

That comment about "does not break the bank" would prompt the CFO to
comment that Excel is working fine...........8-)

Hi TechNetters,
Who, out there, is using a Material Management System that they love, that
is working great, and does not break the bank?
I am looking for a way to manage and keep track of all the revisions
interations that products go through, from prototyping, into production, and
then on into all possible revisions.
Something that will work for software and hardware products, components,
stock room, purchasing, accounting...everyone that touches materials.
I just know that this group has some inside knowledge about what works and
what does not work.
Oh yeah, did I mention that the tools must be current and have ongoing
updates?
Thanks,
Barbara
