From Delay to Delivery: Reducing Lead Time with BOM Creator

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced manufacturing, precision is essential. While traditional BOMs list components thoroughly, they often lack operational clarity especially for long lead items. The key question remains: What needs to happen first, and why—particularly when long lead items are involved?

The Priority List by Type BOM feature addresses this challenge by enabling structured visibility and prioritization. It ensures teams identify and act early on critical or long lead items, aligning sourcing and production with lead time realities and keeping workflows on track.

Even with the best tools, manufacturers face common hurdles leading to avoidable downtime, rushed adjustments, and production inefficiencies.

“Without prioritization, a BOM is just a list. With it, it becomes a production roadmap.”

Feature Overview: What is Priority List by Type BOM?

Servtronica’s solution takes BOM management a step further by transforming a generic parts list into a strategic, production-ready execution tool. This feature is especially valuable for projects involving long lead items components with extended procurement or production timelines. Early visibility ensures sourcing begins before delays occur.

• Categorization by Type: Group parts under logical types such as Machining, Fabrication, Electricals, BOP, and Hardware.
• Priority Tiers: Each item is assigned a priority tag High (🔴), Medium (🟡), or Low (🟢) based on production need.

• Dependency Mapping: Identify parts that impact downstream processes to prevent delays.

The visuals below highlight how prioritization transforms BOM data into a clear production strategy, as illustrated through real-world platforms like SolidWorks and Solid Edge. While BOM Creator integrates seamlessly with tools such as Inventor and more, these examples demonstrate how it transforms static BOMs into dynamic, priority-driven plans.

“SolidWorks reflects how components are grouped and prioritized bringing immediate clarity to production-critical parts.”

 

    

“Solid Edge enables BOM-level sorting by type and urgency guiding teams to focus on what matters.”

From Insight to Execution: The Value Delivered

This feature enables faster, more coordinated execution by aligning priorities across teams and timelines.

Regardless of the platform—SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Inventor, or others the Priority List by Type BOM feature introduces structure, speed, and synchronization, bridging the gap between planning and execution.

“From visual clarity to operational agility, it’s not just about managing parts it’s about moving forward with purpose.”

Use Case in Action

Here’s how this feature translates into real-world value on the production floor especially when managing long lead items that must be sourced or fabricated well in advance.

A complex project with over 300 components may follow this breakdown:

• 🔴 Machined Frames & Structural Parts – Prioritized for immediate production kick-off
• 🟡 Motors, Sensors, and BOPs – Scheduled for mid-phase sourcing and integration
• 🟢 Hardware and Finishing Elements – Reserved for the final stage of assembly

This structure keeps long lead items visible, prioritized, and accounted for minimizing production risk.

Plan smarter. Prioritize earlier. Deliver on time.
