2. Who am I?
I spent 20+ years developing engineering and
manufacturing software:
1990s: Selling and developing Autodesk apps in Israel
2000s: SmarTeam, Enovia, Dassault… working on PDM/PLM tech
2010-12: Inforbix… developing new approach in cloud search and data analytics
2012-14: Autodesk… joining team working on PLM360 and search technologies
2015: Consulting manufacturing companies at Beyond PLM.

4. Beyond PLM…
I started to blog in 2008 and didn’t stop…
For the last 6 years I wrote ~1800 blogs about PLM and
related topics - technology, engineering, manufacturing...
It is about 1’000’000 words …and I learned a lot:
What I learned about PLM from six years of daily blogging

How to synchronize BOM data across the product lifecycle chain?

14. ● Complete data representation
● Unique part numbers
● Synchronized changed
● To use only “part numbers” (no doc#...)
● Include all scheduled items for mfg
● Decrease # of levels
● Complete approval process
What about “single BOM” idea?

17. BOM integration challenges
#1 → BOM Transfer
#2 → Keep Item data in sync
#3 → Keep consistency of views
