Overall Satisfaction with OpenBOM
OpenBOM is a key tool for use in several facets of the company: It allows for us to have a central location of approved parts for production, authorized & disqualified vendors in our vendor list, and obviously our production BOM. By having this centralized, it allows for all users to have a single point of reference, avoiding conflicts or uncoordinated databases of information.
Pros
- Flexibility with an ability to work within defined structure
- Configuration management
- Vendor management (active/watch/disqualified)
- Accessibility to the design team for discussions/ understanding of functions.
Cons
- Consistent log-off/ log-ins required (despite saying stay logged in)
- Default "custom use" of fields (vs. requiring the user to check this each time a new parameter is selected).
- Cost (subscription fees)
- Cost/ Time for entry & maintenance
- My company has avoided (literally) hundreds of misconfigurations, saving us months of development cycle time.
- We have been able to streamline vendor management/ approval (or disqualification), reducing the overall time from ~8 hours to
