Order Breakdown – efficiency and transparency for order BOM explosion
Industry: Automotive | Period: 24 months | Team size: 1 consultant
A precise order breakdown forms the basis for cost control, quality and performance in complex production companies. The support of order BOM breakdown and the clear analysis of data and processes are becoming increasingly demanding with advancing digitalization, cross-brand collaboration and new product architectures. Companies are faced with the challenge of introducing new business objects and methods without jeopardizing the supply of their existing systems and products. Intelligent order break-down software, efficient data management and detailed reports are crucial for a smooth effect in the supply chain.
Challenge: Complexity and transformation in order breakdown / order BOM explosion
New business objects and methodology: For the specification and description of orders, new systems, databases and innovative methods for order BOM resolution must be created.
Legacy system supply: Despite modernization, the supply of legacy systems must remain secure – even for existing products and downstream processes.
Cross-divisional coordination: The cross-brand transmission of component orders and the harmonization of data flows require uniform standards and process architectures.
Analysis and data integration: The integration and analysis of all necessary functionalities and data requirements from different system landscapes are critical to the success of the end-to-end effect.
Architectural complexity: The documentation of the current architecture, the definition of the target architecture and the creation of information models must be precise and consistent.
Success Journey: Three steps to a successful order breakdown
01
This stable foundation enables effective order management and the creation of new methods for BOM resolution.
02
The new processes and information models ensure sustainable digitalization and successful data integration.
03
Report creation and order breakdown now run stably, transparently and with maximum effect through all stages of the value chain.
Impact At Launch: Maximum efficiency and quality for order breakdown / order BOM explosion
- Order maturity management: Systematic maturity management makes orders verifiable and controllable at every stage - uncertainties are reduced and resources are optimally planned.
- Validation of technical buildability: Orders and their parts list resolution are validated on the basis of the sales specification; technical feasibility is transparent at all times.
- New logic in BOM explosion: The introduction of a production process-driven with modular, dynamic intermediate products, data-based logic (instead of classic rigid components with fixed parts) increases flexibility and efficiency in the company. Especially in assembly preparation and control[
- Seamless integration for legacy systems: Enriching and translating the determined BOP (Bill of Process) into a BOM (Bill of Material) that can be processed by legacy systems ensures security of supply and sustainability.
- Standards and harmonization: New standards were established and cross-divisional processes such as information models and architecture artefacts were successfully enabled.
Summary: Order Breakdown as an enabler of modern product development
The intelligent order breakdown becomes the interface between efficient processes, high-quality data management and modern product architecture. Companies benefit from maximum transparency, sustainable supply of legacy systems and harmonized, component-driven methods. The development of new architecture standards, information models and the close relationship between analysis and integration lead to effective order, data and parts list management across the entire value chain. The success factor: the combination of consistent digitalization, effective software support and cross-functional consulting.
