BOM denied. Redesign required. Dreaded words to any engineering team. Obsolete parts, RoHS / REACH compliance issues, inadequate stock, almost every engineer has been bitten by one of these issues at some point. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. Download this ebook to learn about the common causes of BOM rejection and how to prevent these issues in the future. As they say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
