Material Selection & Supply Chain Management
In today's volatile component market, supply chain capability often determines whether a product ships on time or sits half-built waiting for a single missing chip. Elleve's procurement and supply chain team manages component sourcing, qualification, inventory, and logistics for our customers — bringing decades of relationships with global distributors, franchised authorized sources, and Indian manufacturers. We don't just buy parts. We engineer the BOM for cost, availability, lifecycle, and compliance, then build the supply infrastructure to keep your line running — through allocation, EOL events, and geopolitical disruption.

Capabilities included in this service
BOM Engineering
Component qualification, alternate identification, cost optimization, and lifecycle analysis on every line item before procurement begins.
Strategic Sourcing
Authorized distributor relationships (Arrow, Avnet, Future, Mouser, Digi-Key) and franchised manufacturer channels — counterfeit risk eliminated at source.
AVL Management
Multi-source strategy with qualified alternates for risk-critical components — no single point of failure in your bill of materials.
Counterfeit Prevention
Authorized-channel-only policy for active components, AS6081/AS6171-aware inspection, X-ray and electrical verification when sourcing demands it.
Obsolescence & EOL
Last-time-buy strategies, redesign planning, and lifetime-buy storage to extend product lifecycles past component end-of-life.
Inventory Programs
Consigned inventory, vendor-managed inventory, just-in-time replenishment, and kanban systems integrated with the SMT line.
Our Process
A disciplined, repeatable process that eliminates surprises at every stage.
Every line scored for lifecycle, single-source exposure, lead time, and cost before procurement starts.
Datasheet, footprint, and electrical equivalency reviewed for primary and alternate parts.
Primary and alternate sources identified, lead-time mitigation built in, buffer stocks planned for risk-critical items.
PO management, expediting, supplier quality at receipt, full lot and date-code capture.
MSL-aware storage, dry-cabinet for moisture-sensitive devices, kitting and line-feed integrated with production.
Cost reduction reviews, supplier scorecards, and re-engineering opportunities surfaced quarterly.
