Material Product Manager: How Applied Materials is Using Mendix to Establish a Bill of Materials (BOM) and Manage Product Costs
Applied Materials has a scattered and complex application landscape, meaning users spread across different regions and manufacturing plants also span many regions. It is critical that they effectively manage product manufacturing costs during different phases of product development, from concept to production, and from designer's engineers to product cost engineers.
In this session, Applied Materials shared how they developed the Material Product Manager (MPM) Console App using Mendix to establish a Bill of Materials (BOM) and managed product costs. The Mendix-enabled MPM application is centralizing BOM data from Teamcenter and Hadoop, visualizing cost projections, and is configured to meet secure authentication and authorization requirements.
