Session 002: Bill of Material Structuring
Your bill of material is the heart of everything downstream — routings, scheduling, purchasing, costing — yet the one your design tool hands you is a flat parts list that knows what a cabinet is made of, but nothing about how you build it.
On its own, that flat list leaves gaps everywhere it matters — purchasing can’t see true demand, scheduling can’t sequence the work, and production is left guessing. Join us for a live session to see how a generated BoM becomes an enriched, structured blueprint — one that carries the sequence, scheduling, and supply-chain intelligence your parts and assemblies need to move through production on their own.
*This session is designed for manufacturers whose tech stack includes Cyncly Insight.

What we’ll explore together
-
Engineering BoM (eBoM) — the Flat Starting Point Whether an engineer builds a one-off in Construct, or Construct runs behind Insight’s configuration to return a construction BoM, what you get first is a flat, as-engineered parts list — left side, right side, top, bottom, door. It says what the product is made of, but nothing about how it’s built.
-
Manufacturing BoM (mBoM) — Enriched for Production The heart of managing production is a multi-level BoM. We’ll show how ITE’s operating group logic, templates and item families enrich that flat list into meaningful assemblies and subassemblies — drawer boxes, fronts, toekicks — that drive the downstream blueprint. This layer is plant- and process-agnostic, and it’s pure Industry 4.0: parts know their own characteristics (thickness, edgebanding, drilling, machining, profile), machines know their capabilities, and the system applies your rules to match them automatically.
-
Supply Chain BoM (eBoM) — Made for Your Plant Once you know the market, catalog, and plant, the BoM is restructured one more time from a supply-chain point of view — adding suppliers, processes, and make-or-buy decisions. This is where you smooth capacity: outsource a high-volume, long-lead item, or keep a short-lead custom job in-house. It generates time-phased production and purchasing demand across your internal (make-to-order/stock) and external (purchase-to-order/stock) supply chain — and re-explodes cleanly whenever you change plants, processes, or automation.
Who should attend?
This session is designed for manufacturers whose tech stack includes Cyncly Insight, Design Flex, IMOS, or Construct who are asking questions like:
-
What if enriching a BoM for your machines and process took one click instead of days of manual setup?
-
What if a single BoM generated your production and purchasing demand — make and buy — automatically?
-
What if you could see the margin on every line and order in real time, before it’s quoted?
