Features - SavantPLM

Part Management

Your complete parts library, in the cloud

Store, search, and manage every part your team builds or buys — with full revision history, supplier data, and specs all in one place.

Cloud-Based Data — access your parts from any device, anytime
Part Info & Data — Vendor PN, Mfg PN, electrical specs, cost, and more
Powerful Part Search — fast search and filters with Excel export
Custom Fields — add your own text, number, date, or dropdown fields to any part
Recent Parts Scratchpad — quickly jump back to recently-viewed parts
Dashboard — engineering analytics: change requests, prototypes, and trends
User Permissions — prevent unintended changes by restricting access to role-specific data.
Fast Performance — optimized queries and UI built for speed

BOMs, Cost & Materials

Navigate your product structure with confidence

Build multi-level bills of materials, roll up costs automatically, and always know what raw materials and purchased parts go into each assembly.

BOMs — multi-level bill of materials with fast up/down navigation
Where Used — instantly see every assembly and product a part appears in
Cost Rollups — automatic material and labor cost calculations up the BOM tree
Assign Raw Materials — link stock materials to manufactured parts with units of measure
Vendor Management — maintain approved suppliers for quick selection during part creation
Vendor Launcher Buttons — one-click links to McMaster-Carr, Digikey, Mouser, and Octopart
Savant Viewer Agent — open CAD files, Fusion 360 links, SolidWorks, DXFs, and more directly from the part record

Change Management

Engineering changes, tracked and approved

From the first request to the released change notice, SavantPLM gives every change a documented trail — with signoffs, comments, and automatic notifications.

Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) — capture issues and proposed changes before they become formal orders
Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) — route changes through a formal review and approval workflow with signoffs
Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) — communicate released changes to the broader team
Prototype Requests (EPRs) — track prototype builds, part lists, and status through each build phase
Notifications — real-time alerts for @mentions, ECO approvals, rejections, and releases

Inventory & Manufacturing Tools

From the stockroom to the production floor

Track on-hand inventory across locations, identify reorder needs, and build accurate routing and costing structures for every manufactured part.

Inventory Balance & Health — on-hand quantities by location vs. safety stock and reorder thresholds
Bin Barcodes — print and scan bin labels to instantly pull up part details or verify quantities
Labor Classes — standardize labor rates by operation type for accurate cost rollups
Work Centers — define machine and setup rates per work center and assign operations to them
Routing Management — step-by-step manufacturing routings per part and revision

● Coming Soon — MES Features

Manufacturing Execution

Connect engineering data to the production floor

MES features bring SavantPLM from the engineering office to the shop floor — scheduling, dispatching, and measuring every work order against plan.

Work Orders — create, assign, and track work orders with routing operations and real-time status
Production Schedule — Gantt chart view of all work orders on a timeline to spot gaps and overlaps
Dispatch List — every open operation by work center so operators always know what to build next
Material Requirements — automatically calculate shortages across all open work orders
Production Efficiency — actual vs. planned labor hours by work order and operation
Work Center Load — visualize capacity utilization and balance workloads before bottlenecks hit delivery
Work Center Efficiency — track actual vs. standard hours by work center over time
Manufacturing Change Requests (MCRs) — capture, review, and track proposed changes to manufacturing processes and work instructions from request to implementation

Quality Management

Capture, track, and resolve quality issues fast

Quality tools give your team a structured way to log non-conformances, drive corrective actions, and close the loop — all linked to the parts and work orders involved.

Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) — document defects with severity, root cause, disposition, and links to the part, work order, or purchase order
Corrective Action Reports (CARs) — assign owners, set due dates, and track corrective and preventive actions from open to completed
Linked Records — NCRs link to CARs so every non-conformance has a traceable path to resolution
Comments & Mentions — discuss issues inline with @mentions that notify team members instantly
Status Tracking — Open, In Progress, Completed, and Voided statuses keep your quality backlog clear at a glance
Equipment & Calibration Tracking — maintain a register of measurement and test equipment, track calibration due dates, log calibration records with certificates, and get visibility into overdue and upcoming calibrations
