Mechanical engineering: bill of materials and assembly
In mechanical engineering a product consists of hundreds of parts, each with a drawing version. The system links bill of materials, parts, work orders and assembly steps, so a missing part is seen in advance.

- Roles and audit log
Bill of materials
The bill of materials is defined on several levels; main assembly, subassembly and single part are linked. When an order is placed, the required parts are compared with stock and purchasing.
Data transfer from CAD is assessed separately by file type.
Assembly
Assembly steps are shown in order together with the relevant drawing; a completed step is recorded. Before delivery, missing or pending parts appear in one list.
For machinery directive and CE matters, a specialist is consulted.
