Technical data management is critical in cable manufacturing. Each product has dozens of parameters that affect not only production but also logistics, cost calculations, and accounting. The Production Engineering module provides a single place to manage all this information.
Material masters record technical parameters, logistics data, and accounting settings for all material types — finished products, semi-finished goods, raw materials, packaging, and spare parts.
Bills of materials (BOM) define product structures including alternative materials and formulas for calculating component quantities.
Production routings describe the manufacturing process step by step. The system supports alternative workstations for flexible planning and automatically recalculates production time when the workstation changes.
Central repository of technical, logistics, and accounting data for all material types.
Product structure definition with an unlimited number of levels.
Component substitution without changing the bill of materials.
Automatic calculation of parameters and quantities based on defined rules.
Multi-operation routings with process and parameter definitions.
Flexibility in production planning.
Automatic recalculation based on product and workstation parameters.
Tracking changes to bills of materials and routings with complete history.
Review process for approving changes to technical documentation.
Cable manufacturing works with thousands of product variants that differ in cross-sections, sheath materials, number of cores, and other parameters. Without a specialized system, bills of materials are created in spreadsheets that cannot be versioned or linked to production.
Generic ERP solutions do not support formulas for calculating component quantities dependent on cable length or dynamic setup times. Changes to bills of materials are uncontrolled and there is no visibility into who made a modification and why.
The number of levels is unlimited. The system supports arbitrarily deep structures typical for cable manufacturing.
Formulas allow defining component quantity dependencies on product parameters — for example, length, cross-section, or number of cores. Quantities are calculated automatically.
Yes. The where-used function displays all bills of materials in which the given material is included.
Changes to bills of materials and routings go through a review process. Until a change is approved, the previous version remains in effect.
Yes. Each material can have defined conversion units — for example, meters, kilograms, and pieces.
Yes. Material masters, bills of materials, and routings can be imported from external sources using standard interfaces.
Variants can be managed using configurable bills of materials or as separate materials with a reference to the base version.
