Application of Product Data Management at MIMOS Bhd

Abstract

Bill of Material (BOM) is an important technique document of the product structure that
lists all the materials needed to produce an end product. The existing system available at
MIMOS Bhd is capable of processing online forms for handling various ID requests,
data submission and Engineering Change Notice (ECN) requests. However the
challenge is to manage the multiple changes to the BOM while remaining consistent and
accurate using the existing process. Many problems arose from duplications of parts’ ID
and parts’ descriptions hence a need for a centralized and organized solution. An online
system that can monitor BOM’s updates correctly and that can solve centralize storage
issues is proposed. Product data management (PDM) is adopted to manage product data
and process-related information in a single centralized system. This will provide
solutions for online data management, process enablement and change management,
hence eliminating existing errors related to product data.
