Q: Should supply chain be considered during the design phase of smart hardware products?
Design Determines Tooling, Assembly, And Procurement; The Earlier The Supply Chain Is Involved, The Lower The Mass Production Risk.

Coupling Points Between Design and Supply Chain
Material grade, surface finish capacity, standard part selection, mold parting and assembly hours.
Changes in the dimensions of key electronic modules will necessitate revisions to the structure and appearance.
Benefits of Early Involvement
Reduce rework due to "perfect design but unavailable/unaffordable components".
Enhance Delivery Resilience with Alternative Solutions (Second Suppliers, Backup Processes).
