BOM structures in large projects. Use Collective?

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I am a little new with this forum.  I was a super user in a high volume high mix industry where we used collective production orders quite frequently. 

I am now working with highly engineered long term capitol projects.

It looks like a lot of the BOM's are flat and ties to a WBS project number.  This makes planning very arduous since we are essentually building components into the routing. 

Collective orders since it seems to give order and structure for materials and planning.

I am wondering what similar industries do in this environment.  I would welcome any comment regarding the pro's and con's of pushing to change toward using collective more.

Thank You

Hi Venkat,

Thanks for the very informative link.  I have used collective before and have a lot of experience with it.  I think it would be appropriate to use it in my current industry.  I would like to hear comments from others of large capitol projects and any issues they may have faced by using collective or not.

Regards

Richard
