With Product Data Management, Agile PLM for Industrial Manufac- turing is the perfect solution for the complete, secured and clear ad- ministration of the product definition. The emphasis is on technical information on projects, items, and bills of material. All information is consistent and centrally available from design concept to the finished product. BOM articles and the structure are created by means of easy-to-use templates and drag-and-drop, or they can be included automatically by using authoring tools (CAD). \"Agile_Produktdatenmanagement1\"<\/a> The flexible copy-and paste functionality helps duplicating complex product structures and the mapping of new part numbers or version numbers. Fundamental attribute definitions and query functions can be extended by classifications. Version control and approval workflows enable a comprehensive status management. The product structure can be viewed in the context of construction or manufacturing. Effective BOM comparisons enable the analysis of two versions of the same or two different BOMs. The system allows searching of common parts based on geometry- characteristics. Companies can use this feature in the integrated development process, in order to enable part re-use and improve- ment of effectiveness in the development of components. Variant BOMs help manage various product variants in the same BOM, and process them order specific, based on configuration rules. On top of that, Agile PLM for Industrial Manufacturing supports alter- native parts, spare parts and optional parts on all BOM levels. The neutral product structure helps building BOMs. Users can prede- fine must-have \/ can-have parts and their respective attributes. Check routines make sure that BOMs are created based on requirements. Configuration Management (CM) extends the fundamental functions of managing structures by a serial number – based configuration management, integrated in approval and change management processes. Users can define and manufacture product configurations based on customer requirements. Individual configurations can be tracked and managed. Project Management capabilities include comprehensive functionality of projects and project structures. These structures can be refined horizontally or vertically. By mapping an employee to a project, users can also define the function of the employee in the project. The creation and management of a hierarchical classification system is possible for most of the objects like norm parts, standard parts, sub-assemblies, documents and projects. One object can be mapped to many classifications. Attributes and other classifications can be inherited. Agile PLM for Industrial Manufacturing organizes and manages product design data supporting globally distributed engineering teams developing \u201cEngineering-to-Order\u201d and \u201cConfigure to-Order\u201d type of products. The solution integrates conceptual design through release to manufacturing by integrating BOM, CAD, change man- agement, and ERP activities as a seamless, project based design chain.
