Bills of Materials (BOMs) are the backbone of various critical processes within a company. The quality of BOMs is paramount, ensuring consistency and completeness to drive the organization's efficiency. However, the verification of BOMs, especially before release, can often be an extensive and time-consuming task.
In the pursuit of a consistent and complete BOM, BCT CheckIt plays a pivotal role, offering a helping hand in the form of an interactive check result report. This tool makes it possible to perform completeness, plausibility, and attribute checks efficiently, particularly for large BOMs. Let's explore how BCT CheckIt benefits our customers:
Substantial Reduction in Manual Check Effort: BCT CheckIt significantly minimizes the manual effort required for checking BOMs, often resulting in time savings ranging from approximately 50% to 95%. This efficiency allows your team to focus on more value-added tasks.
Automated Checklists for Release Processes: BCT CheckIt streamlines the BOM release process with automated checklists. This reduction in administrative interventions not only accelerates approvals but also helps in maintaining consistency.
Accurate Data Transfer to ERP Systems: Correct data transfer to your ERP system is critical to minimize the time needed for data cleansing. BCT CheckIt ensures that data can seamlessly and accurately integrated into the ERP system, reducing the margin for errors.
Error Avoidance and Enhanced Data Quality: By catching possible errors and inconsistencies in BOMs before they reach the ERP system, BCT CheckIt helps you avoid costly data-related errors. The result is improved data quality, ensuring more stable and faster downstream processes.
BCT CheckIt is the solution for achieving consistency and completeness in Bills of Materials in Teamcenter and ERP. By significantly reducing manual checking efforts, automating checklists for release processes, and ensuring error-free data transfer, BCT CheckIt empowers your organization to save time, enhance data quality, and minimize the frequency of costly errors. Embrace BCT CheckIt and take a step towards more efficient and error-free workflows in your organization.
"If we had to check the data without BCT CheckIt, we would need a multiple of time."

In the case of DOLL Fahrzeugbau, BCT CheckIt has proven to be an invaluable tool for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of data in Teamcenter. By using BCT CheckIt, DOLL is able to catch potential errors beforehand, resulting in significant time savings. Not only has this led to improved data quality, but it has also reduced the frequency of costly mistakes.
Manual checks are conducted, with any missing data or errors being addressed. However, there is no guarantee that all the necessary data is available. Although the process may appear successful on the system side, there is no plausibility check for essential documents, resulting in a lack of assurance in the quality of the BOM.
Prior to initiating the workflow, a thorough examination of all Bill of Materials (BOM) items is conducted by BCT Checkit to ensure their completeness and accuracy in accordance with established guidelines. n the event of any discrepancies, users can promptly and effortlessly rectify them through the aid of an interactive report, thus guaranteeing the quality of the BOM.
