Product Data Management

Epicor Product Data Management (PDM) serves as a central knowledge repository for process and product history. PDM promotes integration and data exchange among all enterprise users who interact with products—including project managers, engineers, salespeople, buyers, and quality assurance representatives. Epicor offers a solution that manages the powerful information traditionally contained in engineering documents, plant floor routings, change orders, sales orders and quality documentation within a single solution that is easily shared across the enterprise. Promoting collaboration throughout the value chain, Epicor PDM provides a complete end-to-end solution to manage
all aspects of a product’s lifecycle, enabling enterprises to control the enormous amount of electronic documents they produce.

Bill of Materials (BOM)

Epicor supports traditional BOM management with single-level part formats that recognize the materials and components required to build end parts. In addition, Epicor introduces multi-level BOM management that incorporates not only single-level components and material requirements, but also
internal and external routing steps for complete end assembly visibility, planning, scheduling, and costing. Epicor introduces visual engineering technology with indented tree structures and drag-and-drop BOM management.

Routings

Detailed routings facilitate planning, scheduling, and costing of products more efficiently. Everything needed to produce a product is managed in one central location. Managing changes to routings is simplified. Changes are automatically communicated to the plant floor execution system and operators have online visibility of the latest routing production notes as well as standards and resource requirements.

Product Lifecycle Management

Epicor Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) serves as a central
knowledge repository for process and product history, and
promotes integration and data exchange among all enterprise
users who interact with a product. Epicor PLM manages all
documentation associated with a product throughout its entire
product lifecycle, and includes full integration with more than
12 computer aided design (CAD) systems. Epicor PLM is
particularly useful for companies that:
• *Design what they manufacture
• *Want standardized methodologies around work flow
• *Use CAD systems
• *Use drawings to produce a quote or an order
Epicor PLM provides an electronic vault where documents can
be securely stored and where access and versioning can be
tightly controlled. The type of sophisticated document
management that PLM offers is critical for those organizations
that need excellent audit tracking and control of all documents
across the enterprise. PLM also provides advanced document
search and retrieval functionality. Increase your productivity by
more efficiently managing the product life cycle—from design
to end-of-life.

manage the distribution and access to those messages and
files. This is critically important for managing customer
relationships and adhering to legal and regulatory mandates.

Epicor PLM records documents at their place of origin and
works fully integrated in Microsoft Word, Excel and other
Office applications. Text documents or spreadsheets that have
been drafted using these applications are directly stored in
the database.
