Supplier part data collection is an increasingly complicated challenge for nearly all manufacturers today, many of whom are struggling to get the issue under control.
PTC and BOMcheck invite you to learn best practices where companies can improve data collection from your suppliers, whether you already have full material disclosure for all of your parts, or if you are only beginning to collect supplier compliance declarations.

Today’s latest and most significant compliance challenge is the planned update to RoHS, which mandates that producers of certain electrical and electronic equipment may not place products on the European market that contain six “banned” substances.
What are the costs of non-compliance? Recalls, brand damage, expensive redesigns, and scrapped parts—for starters. The stakes are high – with potentially millions in revenue at risk. To satisfy these regulations, manufacturers must provide regulators with detailed reports demonstrating product compliance, while keeping up with frequent changes in product designs, parts, suppliers, and the regulations themselves.
In this webcast, PTC and BOMcheck explain how companies can mitigate risk and ensure product compliance -- not just for the RoHS update – but whenever new government regulations are implemented.

Product cost is of great importance, but few companies are able to measure it throughout the entire product development process. The result: the Engineering team continually makes design decisions with little visibility into cost, which means more expensive product designs and missed cost targets at product launch.
This webinar shows you best practices for performing cost analysis during product development, and how PTC’s new Windchill Cost software provides an effective solution.

- Launching products at or under target cost
- Rolling up product cost for different configurations of the BOM, using different cost models
- Providing cost visibility to the entire product development team
- Trade-off analysis of cost and other product dimensions, such as environmental performance
