What is Service BOM?

Service BOMs are created by engineers during the design phase of a manufactured product. They include a list of all the serviceable parts necessary to maintain a product.  

Airbus Helicopters’ Nicolas De Mauroy, PTC’s Service Practice Lead Keith Garguilo, and Tech-Clarity’s Michelle Boucher discuss how to improve the quality of the information made to service technicians by using the engineering BOM to produce the service BOM.

Create and Manage an Associative sBOM and eBOM

Connect service and engineering by establishing associative BOM links between the two views of the BOM. Ensure any engineering changes are communicated to service teams.
