Abstract: In modern manufacturing, moving from an Engineering Bill of Materials (eBOM) to a Manufacturing Bill of Materials (mBOM) is still a manual, slow, and error-prone task. This problem often results in data inconsistencies, production delays, and higher manufacturing costs. To address these issues, we propose an AI-powered BOM Converter that automatically converts eBOM into improved mBOM for production workflows. The system uses a mix of machine learning and rule-based logic to examine eBOM structures, identify component connections, and produce an accurate mBOM, complete with manufacturing details like process steps, work centers, tooling, and procurement information. It integrates with existing ERP/PLM systems to ensure smooth data exchange and real-time updates with production planning. By automating the conversion from eBOM to mBOM, this system reduces manual labor, improves data consistency, cuts conversion time, and lowers operational costs. This intelligent converter seeks to transform the digital manufacturing workflow, allowing for quicker product launches and better overall production efficiency.
