One BOM and routing feeding planning, costing, and the shop floor — not three copies drifting apart.
When engineering keeps the BOM in a PLM tool, planning keeps a copy in a spreadsheet, and costing keeps yet another version, the three inevitably disagree — usually discovered when a production order fails on the floor. TrackElan keeps BOM and routing as master data used directly by planning, costing, and execution, so there is exactly one version of "what this product is made of and how it is built."
A BOM or routing change updates every process that depends on it — planning explosions, standard cost roll-ups, and shop floor instructions — the moment it is released.
Eliminate drift between engineering, planning, and costing BOM copies
Roll up standard cost automatically from routing and component data
Push engineering changes to planning and the floor in one update
Run where-used analysis before a component or routing change ships
Directional estimates based on typical mid-market rollouts. TrackElan cost index is normalized to 1.0; SAP/Oracle figures reflect license, implementation-partner, and BI add-on costs common at this deployment size.
