Automated BOM & ECN Management

Goal

Prevent costly production delays and rework by automatically extracting, reconciling, and updating Bills of Materials and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) from design files, specs, and supplier docs — so procurement, manufacturing, and engineering stay aligned.

Uses

Data Aggregation

Ingests CAD exports, PDFs, spec sheets, emails, and change notices into a centralized datalake.

LLM Utilization

Uses LLM/NLP + OCR to extract part numbers, quantities, revision notes and mappings to master part records.

Workflow Automation

Automatically reconciles BOM versions, highlights discrepancies, and generates ECO impact summaries for approvers and procurement.

Before

  • BOMs lived in spreadsheets or siloed systems — small entry errors cascade into wrong orders, production delays, and rework.
  • Engineering changes are slow: routing, manual cross-checks, and late discovery of impacts hold up builds.
  • Purchasing and manufacturing often react to surprises instead of planning proactively.

After

  • Automated extraction and reconciliation eliminates manual BOM typing and catches mismatches before they hit the shop floor.
  • ECO cycles shrink from days to hours with decision-ready summaries and auto-routed approvals — fewer surprises, faster time-to-build.
  • Procurement orders the right parts at the right quantities; production runs on schedule; engineering and operations gain instant alignment and visibility.
