Manufacturing Engineering

Your Quote Already Did the Engineering

When the PO lands, manufacturing engineering usually rebuilds the job from the customer's drawing. Cableteque reuses the BOM, wire list and labor routing from your quote to build the production data instead.

After the PO, the job gets engineered twice

Your team already worked out the BOM, wire list, terminals and labor routing to win the quote.

When the PO lands, manufacturing engineering starts again from the customer's drawing: re-entering items and BOMs into the ERP, wire cutting lists, formboards and work instructions manually. It's the same engineering done a second time.

Frequently asked questions

What does Cableteque Manufacturing Engineering do?

It takes the BOM, wire list and labor routing your team built during the quote and uses them to create the production data for the job, instead of rebuilding it from the customer's drawing.

What production documents does it create?

Formboards, wire cutting lists, connector face views and pin-outs, splice details and bundle covering callouts, built from the same BOM and wire list as the quote.

Does it work with our ERP?

Yes. Items, BOMs and routings go into your ERP from the quote. Your ERP stays your system of record for production, inventory and accounting.

Do we need to quote in Cableteque first?

Yes. The production data comes from the quote, so jobs quoted in Cableteque carry straight through. See Cableteque Quote.

Who uses Manufacturing Engineering?

Manufacturing and process engineers who release new jobs to the shop floor after the PO lands.
