Models built from shared assemblies
Connect motors, housings and other purchased parts to reusable subassemblies. Each appliance model keeps its own specifications and full product BOM.
Explore Bills of materialsKeep the appliance model, parts and physical samples together.
Develop model variants around shared assemblies. Connect supplier prices, housing and function observations, sample corrections and the pilot production plan to the product definition.

Use this starterRead the starter guide- Two product variants and a shared BOM
- Compact and desk air circulators share an impeller assembly, with a fan motor, impeller and housing panel in their nested BOMs.
- Four sample observation records
- Retain two failed attempts, a correction awaiting observation and a corrected variant with recorded observations.
- A pilot plan
- One draft pilot order and a five-step calendar template tied to its due date. Enter owners and actual progress as the work happens.
- Two required release inspections
- Assembly and housing review, plus function and noise review. Both required inspections follow the approved model revision.
First steps after applying
- Compare the air circulator models
Open the compact and desk Appliance Models. Inspect their shared impeller assembly, fan motor, housing panel, BOM quantities and supplier costs.
- Investigate housing vibration
Open the failed Appliance Test and its pending correction. Record the physical sample’s actual power in W, noise in dBA, function findings, date, method, conditions and evidence.
- Plan the pilot and inspect the revision
Review the live passing sample’s completed evidence before planning the pilot order and its milestones. Approve the intended model revision and complete assembly-and-housing and function-and-noise inspections before internal release.
From the starter to the next piece of work.
Open the connected records and tools from the product workflow view. Keep evidence with each physical attempt and each approved revision.
Define the product and BOM
Review the design variants and shared assemblies, then approve the linked product definition.
Review suppliers and materials
Confirm components, quantities, price units and lead times. Cost and material requirements use the connected BOM.
Observe and correct the sample
Activate the sample and record its actual date, method, conditions, findings and evidence reference. A latest passing attempt with incomplete evidence stays in the work queue, which names the fields to complete or correct.
Plan the pilot calendar
Review the evidence on a live passing sample and choose Plan pilot order. Confirm quantity, material requirements and due date, then apply the five-step milestone template. Enter owners and actual progress explicitly. A held build stays in the work queue even after its due date.
Inspect the approved revision
Complete the two required inspections against that product revision, then certify its internal release. A new revision needs fresh inspection evidence.
Actuals to record on the sample
Power (W), noise (dBA) and function observations
Review the details behind each appliance model.
Supplier prices and product cost
Keep lead times, component specifications and price units with the supplier-linked parts. Shared assembly costs flow into every model that uses them.
Explore CostingPhysical samples and fresh corrections
Record actual power and noise readings, function observations, method, conditions, date and evidence reference with each sample. Link a fresh correction without overwriting the failed result.
Explore QualityA visible pilot production plan
Connect the quantity and due date to the model, review material requirements and apply its five-step pilot calendar. Keep missing evidence and unfinished work visible.
Explore PlanningChecks against the approved model
Approve the design revision, then record the required assembly and housing review and function and noise review. Certify the same revision after its evidence is complete.
Explore Release controlA starting point you can make your own.

Explore the modelling toolsCommon questions
Can I plan a pilot directly from a sample?
After reviewing the evidence on a live passing sample, choose Plan pilot order. The new order starts with the exact linked product. Enter its build number, quantity, due date and progress in the native form. Planning does not certify the sample or release the product.
Can I put a pilot build on hold?
Set the order to On Hold and record the concern in Production notes. The work queue keeps the hold visible, including after the due date. Review the concern before changing the recorded status and continuing.
How do I start the sample and pilot work?
Approve the linked product definition first, then activate the sample and pilot order drafts before using them as live work. Product release remains a separate decision after the required inspections.
Can models share the same parts and subassemblies?
Yes. Define a component or subassembly once and use it in multiple model BOMs. Where-used shows the affected models when your team reviews a change.
How do sample tests differ from release checks?
Sample tests capture the actual physical attempt and correction history. The starter also configures required inspections against an approved model revision. A sample status cannot satisfy those inspections.
Are the appliance test criteria fixed?
The examples use fictional team-defined observations. Your team defines the protocol, conditions and acceptance criteria and records the evidence for its actual product.
Where can I find pricing?
