Okay I have another debate with the same manufacturing engineer. Originally on an assenbly drawing I had the ITEM, QTY, PART NUMBER, and DESCRIPTION columns on a assembly drawing.
Our manufacturing engineer created so called "BOM's" for himself, that had the P/N, REV, PART NAME, UNIT, QTY columns. Though I disagree with his choice of columns, I left it alone instead of getting into a fiery debate with him. Six months later we needed to place an order for more parts, but because neither his BOM's or my drawing list the material and vendor, it took me twice as long to order parts, because I had to review all my file to see where I order standard components from. This time I revised the assembly drawing and added the MATERIAL and VENDOR COLUMNS, to streamline, if additional assemblies needed to be order.
Needless to say the manufacturing engineer, said VENDOR AND MATERIAL colums don't belong on a assembly drawing! I looked up the ANSI standards, and they list them as optional columns. However, he still wants to have them removed, for reasons unknown. SO if I remove them, and someone else is going to purchase parts, there going to have a hell of a time knowing where to buy them from. What's everyones opinion on this?
