Proplanner vs. ProShop

Clients typically leverage Assembly Planner to directly import the engineering bill of materials (eBOM) from their product data management (PDM) or product lifecycle management (PLM) systems, accompanied by an Engineering Change Order that details essential information about the modifications. Subsequently, Assembly Planner allows manufacturing engineers to juxtapose the eBOM with any existing manufacturing bill of materials (mBOM), enabling them to pinpoint necessary adjustments in processes, shop floor instructions, tooling, and logistics. These adjustments often take place within the context of one or more Manufacturing Change Orders (MCO), which outline specifics like Effective Date, Series, or Serial numbers pertinent to the changes being made. After thoroughly updating and verifying the mBOM and Bill of Process (BOP) data in Assembly Planner, the finalized information is disseminated to systems such as ERP, logistics, and the Shop Floor MES/Andon. The accompanying diagram clearly delineates Proplanner solutions in blue, while the integrations with ERP and PDM are shown in yellow, providing a visual representation of the components involved. This integration promotes efficient communication among various departments, thereby ensuring that all parties remain informed and synchronized with the latest developments. Ultimately, this streamlined process enhances overall operational efficiency and reduces the likelihood of errors during implementation.
