Explore PLM Strategies, Innovation Trends & Product Tips

Bill of Materials (BOM) is essential to manufacturing, but managing multiple BOMs can be complex and prone to errors. In this post, we explore the different types of BOMs, the challenges organizations face in synchronizing them, and best practices for efficient BOM management. Learn how to improve accuracy and streamline processes across departments while minimizing mistakes and inefficiencies.

Change is a natural part of product development. Requirements shift, suppliers update parts, and design reviews drive improvements. In this guide, we explore how Nora IPLM helps you manage change in a structured and transparent way. Learn how to create a change request, link it to affected items, route it for review, and make decisions with clarity and traceability.

Quick Create in Nora IPLM lets you rapidly generate new documents whether specs, reviews, or design notes, directly from any widget without switching tabs. With just a few clicks, you can define document attributes, upload files, and instantly link them to related items such as BOMs, change requests, or CAD models. This streamlined process keeps your documentation centralized, traceable, and aligned with your product structure.

Take control of your documents with a faster, more connected workflow. The Nora IPLM platform, together with the Desktop Services App and the Desktop widget, lets you create, edit, and sync documents directly from your computer while keeping every version linked to your product data. You can work in your familiar Office apps, manage updates in the platform, and keep your documentation organized without breaking your flow.

In fast-moving product development, manually editing bills of materials (BOMs) after design updates is a hidden bottleneck. Nora IPLM addresses this at the source by connecting directly with your CAD system (such as SolidWorks) and enabling you to add new items, assign relationships (“material”, “supplier”, etc.), and instantly reflect changes in your PLM-controlled structure.

Learn how to add new items to a product structure integrated from SolidWorks using the Nora IPLM Desktop Widget. This step-by-step guide shows how to create items within your CAD-linked structure, define relationships like materials and suppliers, and keep your BOM synchronized and accurate across your PLM environment.
