Analyst -Engineering BOM

1. BOM Management: Create, maintain, and analyze Bills of Materials in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. This includes ensuring all components, Product hierarchy/structure, and specifications are accurately documented and updated.
2.    Structure Development: Develop and maintain comprehensive BOMs that detail components, materials, assemblies, and sub-assemblies, including phantom BOMs and modular BOMs, as required by product complexity.
3.     Data Accuracy and Compliance: Responsible for the accuracy and timeliness of information within systems, performing verification of launch BOM accuracy, and establishing  BOM review process for pre-production builds. Ensure compliance with company standards and process guidelines.
4.     Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with engineering, Purchasing, production, and supply chain teams to track changes, resolve discrepancies, and optimize BOM coding. 
5.     Lead BOM review meetings with cross-functional teams for resolution of open issues and participate in engineering change and launch reviews.
6.     Change Management: Manage engineering change orders and update BOMs accordingly. Assist in coordinating engineering/process changes and minimizing obsolete materials.
7.     Inventory and Material Optimization: Support engineering and inventory control by leading efforts to maintain and improve inventory accuracy. 
8.     Support Cost reduction initiatives - Identify cost-saving opportunities through BOM data analysis.
9.     System and Process Improvement: Work closely with IT and system administrators to suggest enhancements to PLM/ERP systems to improve BOM data management, reporting, and user experience.

10.Best Practices: Research and implement industry best practices for BOM management, configuration control, and product data governance to drive continuous improvement.
11.     New Product Introduction  Support: Support new product introductions by developing initial BOMs, BOM scrubbing , validation process etc.
12.     Training and Guidance: Develop a deep understanding of systems and processes, providing direction and training to colleagues.
