Part Proliferation: When duplicate and unnecessary parts make searching slow by clogging up your database

Part proliferation increases costs by creating unnecessary parts inventory that needs to be cataloged, stored, and processed. You need to retain the quality reports, costs, and more for each of these parts. For parts being produced, there’s also the actual cost of storing physical inventory. It’s costly, steals time that engineers could spend on other valuable initiatives, and creates confusion for teams attempting to standardize their design process.

This white paper will teach you about the problem of part proliferation, why it occurs, and how you can solve it in your organization.
