bom scrub guarantees order ability – the correct manufacturer’s name, address, and telephone number and the accurate orderable part number are a minimum requirement to place your part order. It minimizes spend errors – by guaranteeing accurate orderable part numbers, part order aggregation is supported and increased parts discounts are now available. It also minimizes obsolete inventory – by correctly ordering the appropriate part, obsolete inventory and subsequent write-offs are kept to a minimum.

Component monitoring and BOM scrubs should be an ongoing activity for the materials team. This is important for efficient and cost effective functionality of your business. One can hire consultants for this in case of absence of skilled staff. Manually scrubbing BOMs is a tedious and inefficient process. You need a fast, automated approach to scrubbing BOMs that also gives you deep component and sourcing data. Companies are also in a reactive paradigm with respect to component obsolescence; not an acceptable situation. The scrubbing process for the average size BOM used to take several hours to complete. But now with BOM managers in action companies are now able to scrub and normalize the BOMs to their formats in a matter of minutes. Life cycle management is critical for your embedded computing architecture. Unexpected end-of-life situations can jeopardize product functionality, software compatibility and even regulatory compliance. You can also use BOM software as a component cross reference tool to check which components have been used in previous projects. This can cut costs enormously, avoiding the need to build parts from scratch. Understanding the importance of things like regular BOM scrubbing is essential to modern engineering.
