digitalcarbon Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 a sample pdf made by OpenBOM...based on a BOM developed in VW costs are retail. Hence, you can find lower costs. note the link... Test VW.PDF Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) so i took some time to make a CATALOG in OpenBOM for the common parts I use in my VW models...(see image) this is a browser based system that can link into programs like Solidworks, Onshape & others...this means that a BOM created in OpenBOM in the cloud can make a spreadsheet appear ON your drawing sheets IN VW...

digitalcarbon Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 So i found a Retail Price list produced by the Fernco company...IF they got rid of that archaic form of listing and use OpenBOM then they would not need to publish these listings...& publish new books & distribute them when they update new pricing.....

digitalcarbon Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 if they made an OpenBOM CATALOG of their items then we can just ref their products and know its alway up to date in our VW sheets... Fernco is just one example...it could be any company... Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 then we can share back our BOMs to a suppliers to get a volume discount. never having to email anyone anything... Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 This would be way cool... Quote Link to comment
mjm Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) This topic has gotten much more interesting now I see it's based in real-world realtime measures: Jeff's need vs DC's ability to deliver in a timely fashion. Although jeff's comments are a bit vague from where I sit. Edited May 14, 2019 by mjm Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 then as soon as i dropped this into the cEarth environment the supplier would immediately say "Lets get the fabricator involved with this & see what his comments are" this way im not finding out late in the game how best to do this...AND since they have been invited into the cEarth area...they already know its location on the earth and any shipping issues....also since they know the area & terrain may they have a better product that would work better 1 Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) then later when project is done you hand over to contractor who has all the products and relationships you developed over the months and they he starts to work on Logistics....placing a truck sets a time and notifies the local ready mix plant that something is happening...

digitalcarbon Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) each stakeholder who you sign in has a GUI that is suited for them...their own tools Logistics tools would help in organizing just in time delivery... Edited May 14, 2019 by digitalcarbon 1 Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 people are working on this..... https://bim360resources.autodesk.com/construction-cost-management-with-bim-360?mktvar002=1062956&utm_medium=email&utm_source=nur-intro&utm_campaign=americas-aec-acs-bim-360-cost-management&utm_id=1062956&leadid=387940931&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTTJZeVlXRmlabU15TkdGaiIsInQiOiJrbVwvWkVwS2tycmtuZ2krMWNiOHZCRDdXM3V6ZXE0Z3BvcXoxSk5UY3NheTcxRWZQQmRIRWZ2a1MzSHNxaWZ1TWordWl0dkU2Mm5xMTdmMWJwXC90T0tqK1B5QXFqaDBkR3ZaaktHaXJIM1FKMDczV3RteHF1cDFhc0FzejZLSytZdHhSdHZ2OFVLejlBdXFBdnBwSTFyQT09In0%3D Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 which means this is no longer a debate... Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Not true. If a generic costing algorithm works for you that is great. But it does not end the debate about its applicability to other users. For me it does not work. Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 people are interested in the cost of things...while I admit that there are varied approaches with pros and cons...people are interested in the cost of things... If a UFO land at the White House and offered a little black box for $1 each...and it could tell anyone what the cost of a project was at any given time (live)...would you buy it? If the answer is no then the debate still continues... Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Would like to make a correction...there are 3 main questions that a client will ask, not 2: 1. What does it look like? 2. What does it cost? 3. When can I have it? Edited July 6, 2020 by digitalcarbon 2 Quote Link to comment
