features

critical path configuration

Upon creating a new OCP, this feature allows users to precisely configure on exactly specific products they wish to include for the intended OCP.

unlimited operational critical path's

Within CP modules, users can have unlimited CP’s which can be managed independently and every user will have access at all times of the same data unlike exchanging Excel files over email.

unlimited product critical path's

Within CP modules, users can have unlimited CP’s which can be managed independently and every user will have access at all times of the same data unlike exchanging Excel files over email.

action types

Users are empowered with the capability to customise the actions of each section within the OCP according to their preferences. They can choose to import either the first data, last data, or all data, as needed. Additionally, users have the option to define how the data should be presented, either as a static actual value or as a percentage. This level of customization ensures that users can tailor the OCP to suit their specific requirements and visualise data in a way that best aligns with their needs and objectives.

product lifecycle stage

Users have the flexibility to section their tasks against the different lifecycle stages in their CP’s. This allows for better user experience while managing a vast volume of CP’s.

product lifecycle stage

Users enjoy the flexibility to access any specific data they require from the product life cycle, ensuring that their unique needs and preferences for the OCP are met. This level of customisation leads to an enhanced user experience when handling a vast volume of CPs (Critical Points). By tailoring the OCP to individual preferences, users can effectively navigate and manage the product life cycle, resulting in a more efficient and satisfactory experience.

unlimited customisable tasks creation

This feature allows users to create an unlimited amount of tasks needed to consolidate their CP’s. Each task on creation is customisable by the following attributes:

unlimited customisable task creation

With this feature, users gain the ability to generate an unlimited number of product lifecycle stages, along with an unlimited range of Action Types, required for consolidating their OCPs (Operational Critical Points). Each task created within this system is highly customisable, allowing users to tailor it based on various attributes according to their specific needs and preferences.:

product critical path functions

adding

As users progress with their usability on Bombyx, this function allows them to add new CPs where they can configure the main settings. This function allows users to add an unlimited amount of CPs.

show/hide columns

As not all teams are the same size nor all businesses operate in the same methods, this functionality allows the users to select and show only the attributes relevant to their operations.

product filtering

By utilising the filtering function in Bombyx, users can efficiently and effectively generate search results based on various parameters of products. The users also have the options to filter products on different levels. As a result, this flexibility optimizes productivity and enhances overall performance, streamlining business processes.

editing

As CPs evolve, changes can affect their timeline metric and status. But businesses can adapt by easily updating and editing the CP configuration settings. This ensures that CPs remain relevant and always provide accurate data.

add source/maual

This allows users to add and configure their channels for the Bottoms Up Planning, This is where the channels can be defined as dependent or independent and show their data in generation as both options of either adding manually or sourcing data from the rest of the system.

saving

As new CPs are created or current CPs need constant updating, this function allows users to save their data ensuring the latest information is always active.

edit

As Planning evolves, changes can affect their identity or source of point, through this function, businesses can adapt by easily updating and editing the channel usability settings. This ensures that Planning remains relevant and accurate in a changing market.

delete

This function allows users to permanently delete any CP or features within them that are extra and are no longer needed, simply making it easier for them to be deleted so they do not interfere with the continuous work.

active/inactive

This function allows users to temporarily stop the user of a specific Channel, which won’t be shown in the Bottoms Up planning. This can also be used to remove any Channels but users prefer to keep data for record and not permanently delete the channels.
