Supply Chain and BOM Support
Continuous BOM intelligence, second-source qualification, obsolescence planning and counterfeit avoidance — built for product programs that need to keep shipping for years.

MOST PRODUCT PROGRAMS LOSE TIME TO SUPPLY, NOT ENGINEERING
Schedule slips on most product programs trace back to supply events more often than to engineering challenges. A part goes on allocation. A manufacturer issues a product change notification three months before a planned production ramp. A second source was never qualified, and now there is no alternative. A counterfeit lot slips through receiving inspection and corrupts a build. Each event is recoverable on its own; in combination, they consume the schedule float that was meant for engineering.
Our Supply Chain and BOM Support service is the discipline that prevents these events from becoming surprises. The team monitors every part on a customer BOM against lifecycle status, allocation signals and known supply risk, qualifies second sources before they are needed rather than during a shortage, manages obsolescence transitions methodically, and applies the documentation rigor required by SAE AS6081, AS5553 and related counterfeit avoidance frameworks. The output is a BOM that the customer can trust through the full product lifetime.
Key CAPABILITIES
OUR APPROACH
Continuous, Not Transactional
The team does not wait for a purchase order to start working on a BOM. Once an engagement is in place, lifecycle monitoring, supplier notification tracking and risk scoring run continuously in the background. The customer sees the picture before each production planning cycle, not after a part has already gone on allocation. This shifts the conversation from emergency response to forward planning, which is where supply chain discipline actually delivers value.
Aligned With Your Engineering Team
Supply chain decisions affect engineering, and engineering decisions affect supply chain. A second-source substitution looks safe on paper until the analog front-end shifts by 50 microvolts of offset. An EOL bridge buy looks generous until the program manager realizes it covers 18 months of inventory at a 5-year carrying cost. The team works in direct conversation with the customer's engineering and program management functions — not as a separate procurement silo — so trade-offs are made with both perspectives on the table.
Transparent Sourcing
Every recommendation comes with the chain of evidence behind it. Lifecycle status references the original manufacturer's published notification, not a vague label. Second-source proposals come with side-by-side specification comparison and source identification. Pricing trends reference the authorized-channel quote history rather than vendor-side opinion. If a recommendation depends on an assumption that may not hold, the assumption is named in writing so the customer can challenge it.
