Product Data Control
PRODUCT DATA CONTROL provides an organized structure for the documentation and maintenance of current and historical configurations on all assemblies in the manufacturing process. Bills of Material are identified as engineering controlled, released to production or both.
Expandable’s unique Data Exception Reporting enhances Bill of Material accuracy. Product Data Control goes beyond the norm by incorporating material planning reports that address component availability (can I build it?). The standard costing system supports the development of new standard costs and the review of their impact on inventory before updating current standard cost.
