Job Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled BOM Engineering and Data Analyst to join our manufacturing and engineering team. The BOM Analyst is responsible for the creation, maintenance, and integrity of Bills of Materials (BOMs) across all furniture product lines. This role serves as a critical bridge between Engineering, Production, and Finance — ensuring that BOMs accurately reflect production methods, labor operations, and material content so that standard costs, piece rate labor standards, and overhead absorption calculations remain reliable. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, comfortable working with ERP systems, and has a foundational understanding of how BOMs drive cost in a manufacturing environment.

Duties/Responsibilities:

Bill of Materials Management

· Build, maintain, and audit multi-level BOMs for new and existing product lines in the ERP system.

· Ensure BOM structure accurately reflects the sequence of operations, component quantities, and unit-of-measure conventions used on the production floor.

· Coordinate BOM changes driven by engineering revisions, material substitutions, or production process improvements, ensuring changes are documented and communicated to affected departments.

· Perform regular BOM accuracy audits by cross-referencing physical production counts, router data, and cost rollups.

· Set up and maintain parts and finished-good models in Epicor Part Maintenance — duplicating from established templates and applying part-numbering and naming conventions (e.g., import prefixes, DOS templates, leg part schemes).

· Manage supplier sourcing data on parts, including Supplier Price Lists, primary/approved-supplier designations, brand-specific supplier setup, and Cost Adjustments to set standard cost.

Piece Rate & Labor Operations Support

· Maintain the Bill of Operations (BOO) within the BOM structure, including operation codes, work center assignments, and piece rate or standard time values for each labor step.

· Work closely with Industrial Engineering and Production Supervisors to validate that labor operations on BOMs reflect current methods and accurate piece rate standards.

· Support the Finance team in identifying and resolving labor absorption variances by tracing discrepancies back to BOM operation setup, earned labor calculations, or actual vs. standard rate differences.

· Flag BOMs where outdated operation times or missing labor steps are contributing to cost distortion.

· Build and revise the Method of Manufacturing in Epicor's Engineering Workbench — configuring operation sequences, work-center assignments, subcontract operations, and production standards for cut, sew, upholstery, outsiding, frame-cell, finishing, and packing steps.

· Calculate labor and poly rates using in-house labor, poly, and frame worksheets when setting up finished-goods (LIB/LIN), PDL/MRL, and development models.

Standard Costing & Cost Rollups

· Initiate and validate cost rollups when BOMs are created or revised, confirming that material, labor, and overhead components roll correctly at each BOM level.

· Partner with Finance during the annual standard cost update process, providing clean, validated BOMs and identifying items requiring re-costing.

· Research BOM-driven cost variances (purchase price, usage, labor efficiency) and provide root cause analysis to Finance and Operations.

· Execute standard cost rolls in Epicor's Costing Workbench — loading cost details, running rollups, and posting standard cost updates.

· Apply Material Burden to import and DOS models per the standard methodology (15% of item cost) and confirm burden carries correctly when models are rolled.

Master Data Management

· Establish and maintain accurate item, product, and component master data in Epicor — including part numbers, descriptions, units of measure, part class, product group, and type/cost attributes — in accordance with established naming and numbering conventions.

· Define and enforce data governance standards for the item master and BOM, ensuring required fields are complete, consistent, and validated before records are released for production, planning, or costing use.

· Maintain master data attributes that drive planning and procurement in coordination with Purchasing, Planning, and Inventory.

· Perform periodic master data audits and clean-up initiatives to identify and correct duplicate, obsolete, or incomplete records, driving remediation with the responsible departments.

· Manage the lifecycle of master data records — activating, inactivating, and obsoleting parts and models as products are introduced, superseded, or discontinued.

· Document and maintain master data standards, conventions, and SOPs, serving as the data steward and primary point of escalation for master data quality across the ERP.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

· Collaborate with Product Development on new product introductions (NPI), creating preliminary BOMs and cost estimates early in the design cycle.

· Work with Purchasing and Inventory teams to ensure component master data (UOM, lead time, sourcing) is consistent with BOM requirements.

· Serve as a subject matter resource for the ERP BOM module, assisting with training and data quality initiatives.

· Coordinate with Quoting/Costing, Purchasing, and Import Managers on import model setup— interpreting quote sheets and tiered pricing lists (TPLs), assigning model numbers, and determining shipping/sourcing location.

· Maintain master lists and tracking spreadsheets (e.g., import cost master, leg list, fabric quoting log, PD backlog) and attach supporting documentation — emails, drawings, and quotes — to parts in Epicor.

Qualifications/Requirements:

Preferred

· Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Technology, Business, Accounting, Supply Chain, or a related field — or equivalent combination of education and experience.

· 2+ years of experience working with Bills of Materials in a discrete or process manufacturing environment.

· Proficiency with ERP systems — direct experience with Epicor strongly preferred (experience with Infor, SAP, Oracle, or similar platforms also considered); demonstrated ability to build and maintain multi-level BOMs.

· Strong attention to detail with a track record of identifying and correcting data errors before they impact production or costing.

· Solid proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, pivot tables, and basic data validation techniques.

· Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, cut sheets, or product specifications well enough to build or validate a BOM.

· Experience in furniture, case goods, upholstery, or wood products manufacturing.

· Familiarity with piece rate labor environments and how labor operations/BOOs interact with payroll and cost accounting.

· Exposure to standard costing systems, including cost rollups, variance analysis, and overhead rate structures.

· Experience with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or Engineering Change Order (ECO) processes.

· Hands-on experience with Epicor modules — Part Maintenance, Engineering Workbench, Costing Workbench, and Supplier Price Lists.

· Familiarity with import part setup, including tiered pricing lists (TPLs), HS commodity codes, freight class/NMFC, carton/volume calculators, and subcontract operation costing.

· Working knowledge of furniture materials and components — fabric/leather yardage, poly, frames, legs, bases, cartons, and accessories such as sleeper mechanisms, power modules, and ganging devices.

Core Competencies:

· Data Integrity & Accuracy — treats BOM correctness as non-negotiable; proactively audits and corrects discrepancies.

· Analytical Thinking — traces problems upstream to their root cause rather than patching symptoms.

· Cross-Functional Communication — translates technical BOM concepts clearly for Finance, Production, and Engineering audiences.

· Continuous Improvement Mindset — identifies structural inefficiencies in BOM processes and proposes practical solutions.

· Ownership — takes responsibility for the accuracy of assigned product families end to end.

· Process & SOP Adherence — follows standardized setup procedures precisely and maintains documentation and revision control to ensure repeatable, auditable results.

Environmental/Physical Demands:

This position is based on-site at the Charter Furniture manufacturing facility. Regular interaction with the production floor is expected and required. The role operates in a standard office environment with periodic exposure to manufacturing conditions including noise, dust, and moving equipment when conducting floor audits. Some overtime may be required during cost update cycles, new product launches, or ERP-related projects.
