From early prototypes to volume production, POLR reviews and refines BOMs to ensure long-term manufacturability. We work closely with electronics design, manufacturing partners, and suppliers to align part selection with real-world production constraints across global supply chains.
What we do
-
BOM review & analysis (cost structure, availability, lifecycle risk)
-
Component cost-down optimization (alternative parts, value engineering)
-
Second-source & multi-source strategy (risk reduction, supply resilience)
-
Lifecycle & obsolescence management (NRND/EOL risk mitigation)
-
Manufacturer part number (MPN) alignment (clean, production-ready BOMs)
-
Approved vendor list (AVL) creation (qualified suppliers and alternates)
-
Design-to-cost alignment (target pricing vs performance trade-offs)
-
Supply-chain risk assessment (lead times, allocation, regional dependency)
-
BOM cleanup & standardization (duplicates, legacy parts, inconsistencies)
-
Production BOM handover support (factory-ready, scalable BOMs)
Focus: reducing unit cost, improving availability, and ensuring smooth transition from prototype to volume production.
Why POLR Engineering
-
Manufacturing-driven BOM decisions: optimization based on real production constraints, not just datasheets
-
Cost & availability focus: balanced cost-down strategies without sacrificing performance or reliability
-
Supply-chain risk reduction: second sourcing, lifecycle checks, and regional diversification
-
Cross-disciplinary alignment: BOM decisions coordinated with electronics, firmware, and mechanical design
-
Production-ready handover: clean, documented BOMs prepared for factory and scaling
