The benefits of NFTs for Configuration Management
The post discusses the significance of blockchain and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) in understanding the future of Configuration Management (CM). It explains how blockchains securely link records, making data modification difficult. NFTs represent unique digital assets and can enhance traceability in maintenance records, impacting status accounting and auditing processes in various industries.
Does changing the traceability of a part require a new part number?
Changing a part’s traceability level, like transitioning from non-serialized to serialized, may necessitate a new part number. This depends on the physical label’s requirements, which might alter the part’s form but generally not its fit. However, the transition impacts the part’s functionality, ensuring better traceability throughout its lifecycle.
It’s about Interchangeability and Traceability
Oleg Shilovitsky discusses the complexities of revising Bill of Material (BOM) documents related to assembly changes. He emphasizes using the FFF criteria for assessing interchangeability and traceability, advocating for issuing new part numbers when necessary. Collaborative decision-making involving various engineering and supply chain perspectives is crucial for accurate re-identification processes.
