Manufacturing Process Management (MPM)

Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) represents a huge step in the quest to link product design with production electronically, in order to improve information quality and reduce time-to-market. Major strides have been made in recent years with the deployment of commercial applications capable of integrating the complicated and configurable BOM (Bill of Material) with that of an equally complicated BOP (Bill of Process), within an environment that encourages the evaluation of alternatives and the development, storage, and comparison of temporarily infeasible scenarios, in search of optimal designs.
