Bill of Materials Software with Scheduling Built In
Multi-level sub-assemblies up to 10 levels deep. Costed BOMs. Lot traceability. And the one thing most BOM software lacks — direct integration with finite capacity scheduling so your material plans match what you can actually produce.
The BOM Management Challenge
Most BOM software manages product structures in isolation — disconnected from scheduling, purchasing, and actual production capacity. The result is material plans based on theoretical output, purchasing decisions untied to real schedules, and no visibility into how BOM changes affect production capacity.
- BOMs disconnected from production scheduling and capacity
- No lot traceability or inventory valuation by location
- Spreadsheet BOMs that cannot handle multi-level sub-assemblies
- Costing estimates disconnected from actual production data
- Importing BOMs from existing systems requires reformatting
- Material plans based on infinite capacity — not real production
RMDB: BOMs Connected to Real Production
RMDB manages Bills of Materials and Bills of Resources as an integrated part of your production scheduling system. Your BOM structure drives MRP calculations, purchasing requirements, costing, and scheduling — all from one platform. Changes to product structure immediately flow through to schedules and material plans.
- Multi-level sub-assemblies up to 10+ levels deep
- Costed BOMs with full cost rollup across all levels
- Lot traceability with pick lists and audit trail
- Inventory valuation by location and by lot
- Bills of Resources (BOR) linking workcenters to products
- Direct MRP calculation from BOM structure
- BOM changes flow immediately to schedules and purchasing
- Import from Excel, CSV, Access, ERP, or AS400
- What-if analysis showing cost impact of BOM changes
- Flexible format for any combination of workcenters and products
“From detailed 10-level deep sub-assembly structures, through importing new configurations via Excel, to scheduling workcenters and products in virtually any combination, we keep finding new and beneficial uses for this tool.”
