A US EV start-up faced challenges maintaining control over their EBoM and MBoM through rapidly changing processes. Engineers couldn't release parts for upcoming builds, BoM errors were appearing, part maturity was opaque, and vehicle configuration in 3DX was incorrect — consistently delaying prototype builds. Eighteen QRians have deployed across this engagement over five years as the organisation transitioned from start-up to scale-up.

Product data management

First line of defence in data quality
Advisory support for engineering teams through all aspects of the release process
Caught, corrected, and implemented solutions to EBoM issues before they impacted the vehicle line
Identified areas for process improvement to increase the speed and quality of releasing
Communicated changes to maintain alignment through downstream systems

Configuration and pre-release BoM

Maintained configuration models translating Product Plan into usable format
Actioned changes to product definition, translating impacts to affected BoMs
Managed vehicle complexity in PLM — customer options, market-specific demands, regulatory
Initial BoM structuring to meet PLM standards
Visualised clash checks more clearly to surface the impact of cross-functional changes
