5 | 12Manage raw material specificationsSolutionObjectives Quick factsBenefitsThe solution extends material master data to include basicproduct and chemical information. Materials specialistscan maintain a list of raw material and finish specificationsand manage their release to design. Each basic materialspecification includes details such as manufacturing andperformance attributes, environmental values, and industry-specific classifications, all managed in a flexible, searchabledatabase.Because the data model includes the chemical makeup ofraw materials, you can automatically assess compliance foreach material. Assigning raw materials to your designedcomponents enables instant compliance validation, mini-mizing data collection with contract manufacturers. Whenregulations or customer declaration requirements change,you can instantly reassess your raw material specificationlibrary to identify any impacted components and products.You can even attach documentsdirectly to the basic materialspecification, such as officialindustry spec sheets.
