In today’s world, supply chain disruptions can impact not only your already designed products in manufacturing, but also influence product design decisions for your next-generation products and early prototypes.

Join us for a hands-on walkthrough of how R&D teams can benefit from shared BOM projects to mitigate supply chain risks, from the initial phase of product design throughout the entire product lifecycle. Learn how procurement teams are enabled with enriched component information in a collaborative BOM project to support R&D throughout the entire product lifecycle and share sourcing insights with management to mitigate risks.

What You'll Learn 

• BOM Project Creation:  
  Create BOM Projects of already designed legacy products based on Spreadsheet Information or create managed BOM projects based on new released prototype projects in your collaborative Workspace. 

• Supply Chain Intelligence: 
  Use available resources to enrich your projects with component lifecycle, compliance, pricing, and stock data, and resolve missing manufacturer part numbers — all in one interface. 

• Impact Analysis & Risk Mitigation:  
  Use automated issue detection to find obsolete parts, source confident alternates, and optimize your BOM for the fewest number of suppliers to simplify ordering and reduce cost. 

• Simplify Component Sourcing: 
  Define your favorite supplier and adjust part choices based on current availability to allow efficient prototype & production sourcing. 

• Production Planning: 
  Identify upcoming sourcing risk with YTEOL & factory lead time. Stay ahead of supply chain disruptions across your BOM projects or consolidated BOM projects to streamline your overall component decisions in your company. 

• Lifecycle Management:  
  Update your BOM projects over the complete product lifecycles and release your milestones from the first prototype stage to manufacturing and track changes along the way for all collaborators during product development.
