Distinct

In the industrial context, the term bill (or bill of materials, in English Bill of Materials - BOM) means a structured, hierarchical list of components, materials, semi-finished products and subassemblies required to make a finished product. Each line in the BOM contains information such as the part number, description, quantity required, and unit of measure, if any. BOMs can be simple or multilevel, static or configurable, and are essential for organizing production, procurement, costing and maintenance processes.

Var Industries supports companies in managing and automating the distinct through advanced digital solutions that improve efficiency and traceability. With BOM Connector, for example, it is possible to automatically validate, clean and map bills of materials, comparing them with ERP data and drastically reducing times and errors in the quotation cycle. Within PLM solutions such as Teamcenter, you can manage engineering and manufacturing bills of materials in a single integrated environment, enabling tight version control. Also, SolidRules enables the automatic creation of consistent and up-to-date bills of materials, adapted to complex product configurations. Finally, tools like LeanCOST use the information in the bill of materials to generate detailed cost estimates early in the design process.
