Product Data Management

Vantage product data management (PDM) serves as a central knowledge repository for process and product history, and promotes integration and data exchange among all enterprise users who interact with the product—including project managers, engineers, sales persons, buyers, and quality assurance representatives.

Vantage offers a solution for manufacturers that manages the powerful information traditionally contained in engineering documents, plant floor routings, change orders, sales orders and quality documentation, within a single online solution that is easily shared across the enterprise.

Vantage offers a complete end-to-end solution to manage all aspects of a product’s lifecycle, as well as enabling enterprises to control the enormous amount of electronic documents that they produce. PDM supports collaboration throughout the value chain.

Bill of Materials

Vantage supports traditional BOM management with single-level part formats that recognizes the materials and components required to build end parts. In addition, Vantage introduces multilevel 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. Vantage introduces visual engineering technology with indented tree structures and dragand-drop BOM management.

• Methods of manufacturing
• Drag-and-drop interface
• Visual bom display
• Same-as-except
• Alternate bom
• Expansive part number
• Document linking
• Costs stored
• Cost replace

Routing

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.
