Business Opportunities

  • When a supplier is contracted to design and provide a system like a Landing Gear, they are required to upload its bill of material or part structure in an agreed upon format
  • They do that through a process that involves Logistics Data Manager (LDM) and it results in a quantity-based part structure
  • The Sustainment BOM project (SBOM) envisions an Occurrence based part structure whose parts will be assigned to a Functional Logistic Control Numbers (FLCNs) structure
  • The business required a mechanism and the process to create part structures in Teamcenter that will ultimately lead to a Supplier uploading their part structure directly to Teamcenter
