Ensure component consistency and manufacturing efficiency from design to production. The Approved Vendor List (AVL) Add-on for Process Preparation X helps electronics manufacturers validate the Bill of Materials (BOM) and AVL against the PCB design using an intelligent component library. This optional package minimizes sourcing errors, improves assembly quality and streamlines production by ensuring only approved, compatible components are used.
Key features
- Accurate BOM and AVL validation:
Automatically cross-checks design data with approved components to prevent mismatches and sourcing delays.
- Seamless component standardization:
Leverages a centralized component library to unify data across suppliers and manufacturing sites, reducing inconsistencies.
- Optimized assembly quality:
Ensures the right components are used, increasing first-pass yield and minimizing production rework.
- Manufacturing-ready sourcing:
Verifies form, fit, and function to prevent last-minute sourcing issues and enable smooth supplier transitions.
- Automated compliance & updates:
Continuously syncs component data, reducing manual checks and ensuring alignment with sourcing policies.
Benefits of the Process Preparation X Approved Vendor List add-on:
- Support for alternative manufacturer specific packages per part number
- Pre-requisite to use the Valor Parts Library content
