With unplanned launch delays costing the client £40M per day, BoM completeness and accuracy between design release and initial build was critical. We embedded a specialist team of expert BoM analysts to complete final validation on the production Bill of Material prior to launch readiness.

Rapid release

  • Created a rapid release process to expedite BoM fixes and finance calculations, drastically reducing change throughput time while preserving change data quality
  • Owned authoring and approval of BoM fixes so engineers could focus on launch and spend more time on engineering activities

Service BoM accuracy

  • Developed a unique toolset and specialist feature complexity knowledge to drive consistent and accurate information across multiple programs
  • Checked service attribute elements in parallel to ensure a correct SBoM ahead of launch — rectifying elements often incorrectly applied by product development engineering, key to maximising on-the-road time for customers
