Top 10 Use Cases: Bill of Materials

The blog series explores the top 10 use cases for graph technology, including its application in solving tough problems such as managing Bill of Materials (BOM) in manufacturing firms. The BOM process is still crucial in manufacturing processes despite digital transformation, but new data management challenges arise due to the proliferation of multidisciplinary products and distributed teams. Graph technology is a good fit for this use case due to its ability to store and model interconnected master data as a graph. A real-world example from the U.S. Army demonstrates how Neo4j's graph database can quickly store, explore, and visualize logistical data, reducing data loading time from 60 person-hours to seven to eight hours, and enabling better ordering, budgeting, and parts delivery. The use of graph technology provides a 360-degree view of BOM master data, enabling meaningful connections between people, accounts, business entities, transactions, and other data, and facilitating real-time decision making.
