Frontier Product Data Management (PDM) provides
the tools to define and maintain the extensive product
and production information required to drive an
integrated ERP solution.
Frontier PDM, along with Product Configuration

by plant/warehouse to account for
production variations between facilities:
- Production routings
to define the manufacturing
processes, along with
acceptable alternatives, associated
with the production
of the product
- Product structures (BOMs) to define
the required components, along
with acceptable alternatives,
associated with the production of the product
- Production departments, work
centers and machines to define
cost and capacity constraints
associated
with the production facility
- Inventory replenishment guidelines
to drive material planning
and suggested replenishment
orders

rolled costs and the associated
overhead of all manufactured
products
