Sama

sama - evenness, things brought into balance

Engineering, manufacturing, service, and software BOMs kept in step as designs move.

Sama is a command centre for keeping bills of materials aligned across a programme. It brings engineering, manufacturing, service, and software BOMs into one dashboard, tracks discrepancies, visualizes dependencies, and keeps every downstream BOM in step as designs evolve. It is built for fast navigation across complex, multi-domain parts data, and it removes the manual reconciliation work that usually causes costly mismatches between engineering intent and what actually ships.

Workflow

Problem

Each function keeps its own bill of materials, so engineering intent and what actually ships drift apart, and the mismatch is discovered on the line or in the field.

Outcome

Every downstream BOM held in sync with engineering as designs evolve, with discrepancies surfaced rather than reconciled by hand.

  1. 01

    Bring the BOMs together

    Each domain BOM is read from its own system of record into one comparable structure.

  2. 02

    Detect divergence

    Differences between domains are surfaced continuously rather than found at a build or a warranty claim.

  3. 03

    Trace the cause

    Each discrepancy is linked back to the design change or plant variation that produced it.

  4. 04

    Propagate the change

    Approved changes are pushed downstream so service and software stay aligned with engineering.

Modules

  • Multi-Domain Dashboard

    Engineering, manufacturing, service, and software BOMs brought into one comparable view.

  • Discrepancy Tracking

    Mismatches between domains surfaced with the change that caused them.

  • Dependency Visualization

    How a part change propagates across variants, plants, and downstream BOMs.

  • Variant & Option Governance

    Configuration and option complexity managed without a separate BOM per permutation.

Pending evidence attachment

This entry represents an enterprise architectural reference pattern. Customer benchmarks, run replays, and metric verifications are established during technical discovery.

Limitations

  • Headline metrics are representative until a customer result is attached.

Representative metrics · Reference · scenario only

  • Four domains

    engineering, manufacturing, service, software

  • Surfaced

    not reconciled by hand

These describe the intended outcome of the design. They are not measured customer results until a validated case is attached above.

Business case

Model a Sama scenario with your own baseline

Three scenarios from the numbers you enter. Capacity released is time; it becomes a saving only when roles or costs are actually removed or avoided.

  1. Step 1 · 3–4 weeks

    Discovery Sprint

    Validate the workflow, data, controls, baseline and business case before anything is built.

    Gate: Blueprint and pilot plan signed by the business owner, technical owner and Wayam.

  2. Step 2 · 6–10 weeks

    Bounded Pilot

    Prove quality and value on agreed data against agreed acceptance tests.

    Gate: Acceptance thresholds met on the evaluation set; go/no-go decision recorded.
