Tips to Reduce BOM Errors and Ensure Compliance BOM Management Tips to Reduce Errors and Ensure Compliance One of the most common reasons for delays in PCB assembly, as well as extra costs, is errors in parts information in a BOM. There are plenty of reasons errors can arise in a BOM, ranging from a simple part number mistake to missing environmental compliance data or marking parts as DNP. Omitting this data creates new liabilities for manufacturers and can lead to incorrect part ordering by the electronic component procurement team. Staying on Read Article
BOM Management From Design to Procurement BOM Management Process: From Design to Procurement Explained A Bill of Materials (BOM) is a comprehensive list of all components, assemblies, and sub-assemblies required to manufacture a product. It’s an absolutely essential document that helps companies bridge the gap between traditionally siloed design and production teams to maintain accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness throughout the product life cycle. A well-structured BOM management process, aided by BOM management software, ensures that all Read Article
Managing Electronic Component Obsolescence Managing Electronic Component Obsolescence: Practical Insights for Engineering Managers The acceleration of technological innovation, the complexity of global supply chains, and emerging environmental and safety regulations have dramatically increased the likelihood of critical components becoming obsolete during a product's lifecycle. Raw material shortages and supplier bankruptcies further contribute to increased electronic component obsolescence. For engineering managers, proactively managing obsolescence risk is essential to Read Article
