    • Machined and cast components must match drawings, tolerances, and production requirements.
    • An unqualified supplier or long lead time can delay a production program.
  • title: Operations leader at a hardware OEM
    pains:
    • Capital equipment packages require coordination of specifications, landed cost, and paperwork.
