How to Design a BOM That Can Survive Component Availability Changes
Build a resilient electronics BOM with approved alternates, lifecycle data, authorized sources, and clear substitution rules to reduce component risk.

A prototype and a production build may start with the same board design, but they are not managed the same way. One is built to learn quickly. The other is built to repeat reliably.
