If you are a financial planner involved in forecasting costs, generating estimates and performing rough-cut capacity planning, CONTROL® Bill of Materials (BOM) will provide you with unrivaled functionality and agility. Finally, there is a way to bridge the gulf between simplistic spreadsheets, planning tools, and cumbersome MRP components of integrated ERP systems.

Unlike most bill of materials software, CONTROL BOM is completely dynamic, so you can quickly and efficiently:

• Identify true cost of production and assemblies
• Gauge labor costs and functions critical to staffing decisions
• Understand the impact of volume, pricing and routing fluctuations
• Comprehend the effects of different scrap rates and yields
• Compare anticipated costs with actual costs
• Assess capacity constraints from key vendors
• Create, analyze and compare scenarios without protracted, complex shop-floor loading
• Evaluate options and make better projections

There are no limits to the number of bills or scenarios. You start with a standard bill, amend it, and combine it in any way your real-world requirements dictate. Best of all, the end-user interface is completely integrated with Excel, putting your critical data in the analytical environment that you know and love. All users — regardless of location or infrastructure — share a common database.
