One doesn’t have to look very far to see how poor product design and development processes can impact companies and their customers. Global companies like Samsung and Apple have had their share of product failures. The launch of Samsung’s foldable phone is just one example where the product launch was delayed by months due to design flaws.1 Getting their product to market quickly, but before it was ready, proved to be an “embarrassing” moment for Samsung.2  \nIncreasing product complexity, driven by technological advances like the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), requires multidisciplinary design cooperation across electrical, mechanical, and software. Getting highquality products to market today requires consistent and clear collaboration between a wide range of systems and distributed product teams.  \nProduct innovators must turn to more intelligent BOM solutions that centralize control of the entire product record and BOM to eliminate obstacles and deliver superior products.  \n Today’s Product Innovators Need Intelligent BOM Management  \nIN-CONTEXT COLLABORATION  \nCollaboration across teams and partners is the standard objective for every product company but achieving this goal can be challenging. Contract manufacturing partners (CMs) and their distributed supply chains must work in concert with the product company early and throughout the entire product lifecycle. To gain and retain a competitive advantage, everyone responsible for delivering a part of the product must work off the same page. This means having a single, secure place for all things product-related. A centrally controlled BOM with a complete product record can be the difference between leading the market and going out of business.  \nCompanies demand tighter control of their intellectual property (IP), which is often managed in a bill of  materials (BOM) . BOMs contain all the components necessary to make a finished product and comprise the core building blocks of the product record. However, too often BOMs are managed across multiple systems by engineering and manufacturing teams.  \nThis leads to disconnected development processes frequently resulting in product launch delays, quality issues,  \nBOM-Centric Collaboration  \nPRODUCT  \nBOM-Centric  \nPEOPLE  \n• Engineering  \n• Design Partners  \n• Operations  \n• CMs  \n• Suppliers  \nPROCESSES  \n• Items  \n• Documents  \n• BOMs  \n• Drawings  \n• Files  \n• Changes  \n• AML  \n• AVL  \nmanufacturing mistakes, and costly scrap  \nand rework to correct product issues.  \nProduct innovators must turn to more intelligent BOM solutions that centralize control of the entire product record and BOM to eliminate obstacles and deliver superior products. Real-time collaboration is enhanced with cloud-based solutions that enable dispersed product teams to communicate throughout the entire product development process. With an intelligent BOM management solution, all teams and tiers of the global supply chain can easily access information and collaborate anytime and anywhere.  \n Today’s Product Innovators Need Intelligent BOM Management  \nTHE EVOLUTION OF BOM MANAGEMENT  \nBefore examining these five key requirements, it’s worth understanding how BOM management has evolved and what outdated options you might see in your search for a solution.  \nOver the past few decades, we have seen BOM management  \nevolve from manual or unintelligent records to more structured and intelligent ones. As technological advances were introduced with software applications and relational databases, the ability to manage complex BOMs improved to yield these key benefits:  \n• Faster product release cycles with easier creation and c","cbCaijgApirnQ0AH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijgApirnQ0AH","pdf",1774514,16,"English","# Impact of Complex Products and Supply Chains\n## In-Context Collaboration\n## The Evolution of BOM Management\n## Early BOM Management Solutions","[{\"question\":\"Why is intelligent BOM management important for product innovators?\",\"answer\":\"Complex products and outsourced manufacturing increase risks when BOM data is poorly controlled.
