What We Did! | YILCORE Impact Stories

Component Number and Definition Project

The company faced critical inefficiencies in component identification, procurement, and inventory management caused by a fragmented and outdated part numbering system.

Standardized part descriptions eliminated ambiguity and duplication
Streamlined numbering system accelerated processes and reduced errors
Integration with Salesforce improved traceability and cross-departmental efficiency

Component Version and Revision Project

The company encountered significant challenges in component management and supplier communication due to an inadequate and outdated version tracking system.

Clear Version Tracking – Provided full visibility into component evolution without unnecessary new part numbers.
Process Optimization – Streamlined revision workflows reduced errors and accelerated approvals.
Improved Collaboration – Engineering, QA, and product teams aligned in real time on updates.

Bill of Materials (BOM) Naming and Numbering Project

The company struggled with product identification, procurement, and inventory management due to a fragmented and inefficient BOM naming and numbering system.

Productivity – Standardized BOM structures improved planning and reduced supply chain delays.
Optimization – Minimized errors and prevented faulty production with a systematic numbering system.
Communication – Unified BOM format enhanced collaboration across engineering, procurement, and production teams.

Component Approval process

The company faced delays and confusion in sample approval and quality control due to manual execution, poor tracking, and lack of a standardized process. This resulted in inefficiencies, miscommunication, and wasted resources.

Faster Process – Defined roles and approval flows eliminated confusion and accelerated decision-making.
Carbon Footprint Reduction – Avoided unnecessary shipments, reducing emissions and environmental impact.
Waste Reduction – Prevented faulty samples from entering production, saving both time and materials.

Multiple Manufacturers Bill of Materials (BOM) Management

The company faced limitations in component availability, BOM versioning, and supplier synchronization due to single-source dependencies and lack of multi-manufacturer management. This created inefficiencies in global sourcing and slowed down cross-departmental collaboration.

Supply Chain Flexibility – Enabled management across multiple manufacturers, reducing single-source risks and improving resilience.
Standardization & Compliance – Unified BOM formats ensured consistency across departments and alignment with industry standards.
Future Scalability – Built a flexible system capable of adapting to new manufacturers and parts, supported by centralized data management.

Sub Bill of Materials (BOM) Project

This project aimed to simplify the complexity of multi-layered BOM structures, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and accuracy in managing subcomponents across departments.

Standardization – Established a consistent sub-BOM format that improved coherence between departments and simplified updates.
Cost Savings – Reduced unnecessary material purchases and optimized resource usage through accurate sub-BOM management.
Defect Prevention – Improved tracking and identification of subcomponents prevented errors and inconsistencies in production.

Engineering Change Management – Process & Tool Creation

The company faced critical inefficiencies in engineering change management, leading to delays, higher costs, and risks of faulty production. The absence of clear standards, defined responsibilities, and transparent tracking hindered collaboration across departments and slowed decision-making.

Productivity – Faster and more accurate handling of engineering changes through streamlined processes and automation.
Improved Communication – Transparent tracking and clearer responsibilities strengthened collaboration between engineering, production, and procurement teams.
Analysis & Reporting – Data-driven monitoring of change processes enabled performance evaluation and continuous improvement.

Prototyping to Mass Production

Transitioning from prototype to mass production required solving complex BOM configurations, unclear responsibilities, and communication gaps between R&D, Supply Chain Management, and Purchasing. Without clarity on specifications and processes, production readiness was delayed.

BOM Simplification – Streamlined and restructured BOM to move from development to scalable production.
Cross-Functional Alignment – Enhanced collaboration and eliminated confusion between R&D, Supply Chain, and Purchasing.
Specification Clarity – Clearly defined component specifications and requirements ensured production accuracy.

Shop Floor Server Database System

For AT&T, a critical shop floor server was implemented to ensure secure, reliable, and efficient manufacturing operations across global production sites. The project covered procurement, installation, deployment, and long-term system support.

Procurement & Compliance – Managed the acquisition of server hardware and licenses aligned with AT&T requirements.
Collaborative Setup – Coordinated internal and external IT teams for seamless installation and configuration.
Global Deployment – Supervised system implementation across Far East manufacturing facilities.

Alternative Vendor List – Process and Structure

In today’s competitive business landscape, managing alternative vendor lists is essential to ensure continuity, minimize risks, and maintain cost efficiency. This process was designed to create a structured, transparent, and reliable framework for vendor management while safeguarding quality and operational resilience.

Risk Mitigation – Reduced dependency on single vendors, minimizing potential supply chain disruptions.
Cost Efficiency – Leveraged multiple sourcing options to secure competitive pricing.
Quality Assurance – Ensured uninterrupted supply without compromising quality standards.

Product Standardization Project

The project aimed to eliminate inefficiencies and inconsistencies in manufacturing and operational workflows caused by non-standardized components, misaligned BOM structures, and fragmented processes. These issues led to higher costs, supply chain disruptions, and delays in product launches.

Cost Reduction – Standardized components reduced production costs and optimized resource utilization.
Supply Chain Alignment – Unified BOM structures improved coordination and minimized disruptions.
Faster Time-to-Market – Integrated workflows across departments accelerated product launches and updates.

Bill of Materials (BOM) Structure Build

I provided consultancy to ensure that the upcoming production process of a newly developed prototype was executed in a planned, organized, and scalable manner. By establishing a solid BOM structure, the project enabled smoother production workflows and laid the foundation for effective change management.

Planning – Structured the BOM to ensure readiness for production.
BOM Development – Built a clear and scalable BOM framework aligned with R&D outputs.
Consultancy & Guidance – Supported teams with best practices for BOM and process design.
