Unlock BOM Optimization with AI
Reduce engineering time by 95% and cut material costs by 30%
Discover how Captivix helped a leading manufacturer streamline their Bill of Materials, reduce costs, and improve efficiency using cutting-edge AI technology.
Navigating Complexities of BOM in Manufacturing
A leading industrial equipment manufacturer, known for delivering custom-built machinery, faced a recurring challenge: generating complex Bills of Materials (BOMs) for each order. With high variability and customization, the engineering team spent weeks manually creating accurate BOMs for every project.
Each order required 6–7 engineers and 2–4 weeks to finalize the BOM
Engineers had to assess part availability, vendor lead times, and cost feasibility—all manually
The process was labor-intensive, error-prone, and significantly impacted delivery timelines

Steps to Success
Captivix initiated the engagement with an AI Innovation Workshop, bringing together key stakeholders to identify pain points and opportunities. The BOM creation process stood out as a high-impact, automation-ready use case.
AI Innovation Workshop
We kicked off the engagement with a cross-functional AI Innovation Workshop involving engineering, IT, and operations teams. The goal was to align business challenges with AI opportunities.
Data & Process Analysis
Our team conducted a deep dive into existing engineering workflows and data ecosystems to understand the full scope of BOM complexity.
AI Model Design & Development
We selected a hybrid AI model architecture based on the complexity of the BOM structures, combining multiple AI techniques for optimal results.
Proof of Concept (PoC) Execution
A prototype AI system was developed and integrated into the existing BOM toolchain. The AI-generated BOMs were reviewed by a senior engineer for validation, enabling a human-in-the-loop workflow that balanced automation with quality assurance.
Integration & Scalability Planning
Following PoC success, Captivix designed a plan to scale the solution across the organization. This phase ensures long-term sustainability and continuous improvement.
Significant Cost Reduction and Efficiency Gains
Our AI-driven BOM optimization solution delivered substantial results for the client. We achieved a 30% reduction in material costs, a 35% improvement in production efficiency, and a 15% decrease in time-to-market for new products. These improvements directly contributed to increased profitability and a stronger competitive position.
