of BOM
CONTROL®'s
BOM consists of the following elements, all based on CONTROL's
multi-dimensional relational database architecture and providing
tremendous flexibility and limitless analysis and reporting
capabilities:

Price Model
The Price Model contains your pricing assumptions for all elemental components—raw materials or labor—and can handle an unlimited number of pricing scenarios. You can dynamically load data from systems such as purchasing or your ERP labor collection system.
The intuitive Excel spreadsheet-based interface lets you enter and manipulate the data with ease.

Volume Model
The Volume Model
stores all of your scenarios of demand for top-level items.
You can directly and automatically load data from your MPR
demand-planning system or marketing forecasts. Alternatively,
you can apply CONTROL's forecasting techniques to generate
alternative demand scenarios.
The screenshot to the left shows all the options available for forecasting volume. Each has a variety of different functions associated with it, for maximum flexibility.

Usage Model
The heart of the Bill of Materials module is the Usage Model, which represents the multi-level BOMs.
The BOMs can be as simple or as complex as your business requires, supporting:
- Time-phased usage
by component; by component and production plant;
or by component, production plant and line
- Countless versions
(scenarios) you can store, retrieve, and review
at any time
- Comparison and analysis
of different volume and pricing cases
- Real-time, automatic
bill loading directly from your MRP, or building
and maintenance entirely within CONTROL
|
All data are presented in an
intuitive, indented format that can be easily expanded, compressed,
and drilled to the desired level of detail. And CONTROL
instantly propagates the changes you make to sub-bills
(for intermediate components) to all higher-level components
which employ them.
