Operations Management

Supply Chain

We help clients source custom and off-the-shelf components globally. Beyond initial sourcing, we focus on building long-term supplier relationships that improve reliability and reduce cost over time.

• Global procurement and sourcing
• Vendor selection, qualification and performance review
• Alternate part sourcing and lifecycle management
• Custom bill of material (BOM) audits and recommendations

A build is only as good as its timing. Long-lead items are planned early and deliveries align to production to cut storage and idle time. Capabilities include:

• Component tracking and reporting tied to serialized builds
• Direct coordination with contract manufacturers and in-house production teams
• Delivery-window planning and buffer-stock management
• MIL-SPEC and ESD-safe packaging and handling
• Documentation for International Traffic in Arms Regulations and Export Administration Regulations controlled parts when required

Disruption does not have to pause production. Risks are identified early, with practical mitigation options in place before builds are affected.

• Dual sourcing strategies and approved alternate part builds
• Forecasting for high-risk, long-lead or end-of-life parts
• Supplier performance tracking with documented key performance indicators
• Early engagement with test labs to validate material and component readiness

If you do not have a dedicated sourcing or operations team, 29Tech can operate as an extension of your business. We take ownership of procurement execution so your team can stay focused on product and delivery.

• BOM execution and purchasing
• Labeling, kitting and handling
• Ongoing communication with suppliers and contract manufacturers
• Hands-on support for startups and lean teams
