About this event
Most startups don't find out their BOM is a liability until it's already causing problems or costing money: a part goes obsolete mid-build, a second source turns out to be unreliable, or lead times tear into your release schedule.
At its core, this is a process problem, one that large enterprise component engineering and supply chain teams solve with a set of standards most early-stage teams have never been taught. Couple that with the lack of resources a startup has, and the challenge can feel unsolvable.
That's what this session breaks down: the standards themselves, and how to run them lean.
What we'll cover:
- The real cost of ignoring production readiness for speed - The standards enterprise teams use to avoid production delays - A simple framework you can apply to your own BOM this week Who should attend: Startup founders, engineering leads, and early-career hardware engineers who are moving from prototype to production and want to think like an enterprise supply chain team, without needing to hire one yet.
This is a purely educational session.
Format: ~40 minutes of breaking down the processes, open Q&A throughout. In the last 5 minutes, I'll briefly share what I've built at Pisco (PartSense) to help teams apply this without the manual grind, for anyone who wants to keep the conversation going.
