Data Driven BOM Analytics FAQs

What is BOM analysis and why is it important?

BOM (Bill of Materials) analysis is the process of evaluating and optimising the list of components required for a product’s manufacturing. It’s crucial as it helps manufacturers understand component availability, pricing, potential risks like End-Of-Life (EOL) alerts, and find alternate parts, ensuring smooth production and cost efficiency.

How can data-driven BOM analysis help optimise inventory?

Data-driven BOM analysis provides insights into global market pricing, product availability, and potential supply chain risks. By understanding these factors, manufacturers can make informed decisions about inventory levels, reducing excess stock and ensuring that necessary components are available when needed.
