Description
To understand the critical role that product data management plays in the business, you must understand the ways in which product data affects businesses and how businesses can more efficiently define, track, manage, and maintain product data. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Data Management system from Oracle enables you to define manufacturing specific item information, bills of materials, ingredients lists, work centers, routings, and processes. With this application you can: Enter and review bills of material. Create work centers, and enter costing and accounting information, use routing instructions, and generate lead times. Set up shift information and kanbans for repetitive manufacturing. Enter and review processes, operations, ingredients, co-products, and by-products for process manufacturing. Set up, review, approve, and print engineering change orders. Send and receive data from external systems. Set up start dates, manage overlapping and concurrent operations, and calculate lead times. Product data management (PDM) is a system for managing design data and engineering processes in one central location. Engineering teams use PDM software to organize product-related information, track revisions, collaborate, manage change orders, generate Bills of Materials (BOMs), and more. Product data management or Product information management is the business function often within product lifecycle management that is responsible for the management and publication of product data. In software engineering, this is known as version control.
