To comply with conflict minerals reporting requirements, you must have a holistic view of your product BOM, with visibility into material data from your supply chain, and with the ability to identify product components (both in-house and supplied) that contain conflict minerals. Teamcenter® can help. You get the capabilities you need to give you visibility into parts from your product BOM that contain conflict minerals, and if needed, start a declaration process with your suppliers to collect material declarations and smelter data.  Support for industry standards (IPC-175x, CMRT) and integrations to supplier material data portals such as the International Material Data System (IMDS) and BOMcheck, along with highly automated processes, will help you to trace conflict minerals used in your products, report on them, and stay compliant.

Teamcenter® supports highly automated processes to request declarations from suppliers, and streamlines the process to validate, review and aggregate material data into your product BOM. You can increase productivity and reduce costs associated with the collection of supplier declarations using industry standards such as IPC-175x and CMRT. With Teamcenter, you have the tools you need to know and report out on your entire product makeup, including declaration data from your suppliers, to stay compliant.
