Nearly all of the functional departments within industrial machinery and battery machine building companies will rely on the BOM to do their jobs. It is vital that companies support a collaborative BOM creation process and provide sound management of changes to the deliverable over time. Spreadsheets, screenshots, and emails cannot provide stakeholders a single source of truth. But taking a more progressive approach and investing in PLM solutions can help ensure everyone in the organization is working from the most accurate and up-to-date BOM.
