Business context

The challenge behind the workflow.

Engineering and production use different versions of component structures during product changes.

Connect production, quality, assets, suppliers, and planning data while preserving product and process context. Help teams investigate deviations and prepare reviewed operational decisions across plants and business systems.

Data to bring together

  • Engineering structures
  • Production bills of materials
  • Change approvals

Source systems are examples of the data required. Confirm connector availability, permitted access, refresh timing, and the authoritative owner before implementation.

Your workflow

How Genedata supports the work.

Configure one connected workflow, then reuse its mappings, definitions, and review process as the business grows.

  1. 01

    Connect and prepare

    Associate component structures with effective versions and approval references.

    Build the preparation as a reusable visual workflow or reviewed code, with explicit source mappings and validation checks.
  2. 02

    Investigate and validate

    Identify mismatched revisions and incomplete change propagation across systems.

    Keep shared definitions and source versions with the analysis so another team can reproduce the result.
  3. 03

    Publish and review

    Publish a controlled reconciliation queue for engineering and operations.

    Make the output available to the right people with appropriate access, ownership, and review evidence.
What the next team receives

A component revision review queue

Ease of use

Make the next run easier.

Version-aware comparisons reduce manual checking of large component lists.

Start from one approved example. Save the agreed mappings and definitions, publish the reviewed output, and let the next team follow the same evidence instead of rebuilding the preparation.

Measure your own improvement

Unresolved bill-of-materials revision mismatches

Record a baseline before the pilot and compare like-for-like work afterward. Results depend on source quality, configuration, and adoption.

Review and responsibility

Engineering authorities approve substitutions and released product configurations.

AI with professional judgment.

Use AI to summarize exceptions and propose investigation paths. Engineers and authorized operators validate process changes and all safety-related actions.

Get started

Try the workflow with your team.

Use representative, approved sample data. Agree the expected output and a review owner before extending the workflow to a live process.
