Supply Chain

More than procurement.
Supply continuity for the life of your product.

Every build depends on the parts behind it. STIM manages BOM risk, alternates, obsolescence, forecasts and inventory from design through end of life, balancing cost, availability and lead time so your product stays buildable and your production stays on schedule.

02 / SOURCING WITHOUT SURPRISES

Our Supply Chain Capabilities

From supplier selection to inventory management, the services that keep material flowing to your build.

BOM Risk Review

Every line of your BOM checked for availability, lifecycle status, lead time and single-source exposure before material is committed.

Alternates and Substitutes

Alternate parts proposed and documented for your approval, so one shortage does not stop the line.

Obsolescence and End-of-Life

Lifecycle status monitored from design through end of life, with last-time buys and redesign options planned before parts disappear.

Forecast and Lead-Time Alignment

Purchasing aligned with your forecast and schedule, with long-lead parts identified and ordered early.

Inventory Models

Inventory programs matched to your demand, including buffer stock and customer-supplied material where it makes sense.

Excess and Obsolete Material

Excess and obsolete exposure tracked and reviewed with you, so material liability never comes as a surprise.

Onshore, Offshore and Your Agreements

Local procurement, onshore and offshore sources and your existing supplier agreements combined into one sourcing strategy.

Continuity Planning

Critical parts, approved alternates and buffer stock planned together, so long-running programs stay buildable.

Lifecycle thinking.Supply chain planning starts at the design stage, with procurement input in every DfX review.

Every Line of Your BOM, Accounted For

Before material is committed, each line of your bill of materials is reviewed for availability, lifecycle status and alternates. Parts are then sourced through the right channel and brought together, so your build starts with everything it needs.

05 / LESS RISK, MORE CONTROL

Reducing Supply Chain Risk

Shortages, obsolescence and price changes can stall a program. We plan for them early, so your product stays buildable.

Availability: Parts availability maintained while material costs come down.
Obsolescence: Lifecycle risks identified early, with alternates planned in advance.
Lead times: Short lead times to respond to demand fluctuations and market changes.
Continuity: Critical parts and alternates planned so long-running programs stay buildable.
Partnership: Collaboration with you and your suppliers from the design stage onward.
