Hello everyone.
I currently work for a company that has a basic PDM system, even the reseller told me it is actually a file manager. This is to say that CAD files are checked in and the CAD structure is used as the BOM.
They have no concept of Item management. I am trying to build a case for Item management and have an Item vs CAD argumentation.
The current PDM allows to link files so as you have a WTpart and its contain. The CAD files replaces the WTpart and additional files can be linked to the CAD files.
Eg, if I have a model, I can associate office files (such as test report, material specification etc…). This looks similar to what you would do with the WTpart. They are also wanting to link their PDM with their new ERP system. They intend to transfer the BOM. They have not been receptive of the discussion about eBOM and mBOM
I struggle to articulate argumentation in favour of Items with that particular company.
I was wondering if anyone could share his experience.
I guess this is the same situation within companies having using PDMLink for many years but never enabled the WTPart. What argumentation is used to build the case for the WTpart.
Thank you
