Engineering & PLM suite

Product Data Management Software One released revision of every part, and the cost of every change known before you approve it.

PLM, change management, product costing and projects share one part master. A change to a BOM shows up in its cost, its open orders and its PPAP approvals the same day.

Why this suite

Why does engineering data fall apart between design and production?

Because each team keeps its own copy. Engineering has the drawing, the ERP has a part master, costing has a spreadsheet and the change process lives in email. The Engineering and PLM suite keeps parts, revisions, BOMs, changes and costs in one place, so every team reads the same released revision.

Each product handles one job. Together they carry a part from its first revision through every engineering change, with the BOM, the cost and the launch plan kept in step.

How it connects

What changes when engineering data lives in one place

Changes release revisions

Closing an ECN releases the part revisions it lists, and closing a BCR writes the new BOM revision, so the change record and the master data never disagree.

Impact before approval

One impact view shows the assemblies, stock, open orders, routings and quality records a change touches, on the part page and on every ECR and ECN.

Costs follow the BOM

Product costing rolls up through the same BOMs and routings, and works out the before and after cost of each part an engineering change touches.

Launch plans on the same platform

APQP launches run their timing plans as projects, with milestones, dependencies and a Gantt view, next to the parts they launch.

FAQ

Engineering and PLM questions

Still unsure? Ask our team.

What is product data management?

Product data management keeps the engineering definition of a product under control: part numbers, revisions, drawings, specifications and BOMs. YourBrand adds the change process and costing on top, so the data stays correct as the product changes.

What is the difference between PDM and PLM?

PDM usually means storing and versioning CAD files. PLM covers the whole lifecycle: part revisions, BOMs, release rules, engineering change and what a change does to purchase, production and quality. YourBrand is a PLM suite and works alongside your CAD tools.

What is PLM?

PLM, product lifecycle management, is the process and software for managing a product from first design through changes to obsolescence. It decides which revision is released and keeps the history of every change.

What is the difference between an EBOM and an MBOM?

The engineering BOM is the product as designed. The manufacturing BOM is how a plant builds it, with process materials and phantoms. YourBrand creates each plant's MBOM from the released EBOM and flags it when the EBOM changes.

Can I start with just one product?

Yes. Each product works on its own. PLM is a common starting point, and change management, costing and projects connect to the same parts when you add them.
