       @dalias I’m a hardware engineer. You’re right that a BOM is a list of components, and some of those are custom to the product, some are single-source proprietary, some are multi-sourceable (or substitutes), and some are fully generic. So a BOM can be extended to include supplier information and alternative sources (“second-sourcing” is often an important strategy to deal with sudden peaks in demand or failure in the supply chain).

       @dalias Software can be the same, but you’re right that a supply chain analysis isn’t the same as a BOM.
