What is BOM Scrubbing?
BOM scrubbing is the systematic audit of an engineering bill of materials prior to procurement. Distributors check each line item against manufacturer product lifecycle databases to identify supply vulnerabilities.
3 Core Audit Checkpoints:
- Lifecycle Phase: Flagging parts marked Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND), Last Time Buy (LTB), or End of Life (EOL).
- Franchised Factory Lead Times: Spotting items with lead times exceeding 26 weeks early so buffer inventory can be secured.
- Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives: Identifying pin-compatible second sources for single-vendor components.
