Supplier & CM Handoff

Drawings, BOMs, process notes and release packs your contract manufacturer and vendors can build from – including when the CM is already yours. Tribal knowledge stays out of the handoff.

Package a handoff

If the CM has to call the designer, the package is not done.

Supplier and CM handoff is the documentation and coordination layer between a manufacturable design and a line that can run without the studio in the room. We prepare the pack, answer mark-ups, and stay through first articles when you need engineering on the floor – whether BrahmWorks builds the pilot or your existing CM does.

Release documentation

Controlled BOMs, drawings, Gerbers, assembly and test procedures, revision history and change notes. Enough for a moulder, sheet-metal shop, PCB assembler or full CM to quote and build without guessing intent.

Process and packaging notes

Work instructions, torque and seal notes, cable routing, fixture references, incoming and EOL checks, and how the unit is packed and labelled. Packaging drawings belong in the pack, not in a chat thread.

Working with your CM

We do not require you to switch manufacturers. Mark-ups from your CM go back into the model and the BOM. We write the notes so their line can run; we join calls and first-article reviews when that is in scope.

Vendor briefs and first article

Process choice, tolerance callouts and acceptance criteria for individual suppliers. First-article support so deviations are decided, not absorbed silently into the next lot.

What a handoff pack includes

BOM and AVL

Controlled part list, alternates where allowed, and revision of the BOM the CM is authorised to build.

Drawings and 3D

Production drawings, critical dimensions, finishes, and models a shop can use without the designer's laptop.

Electronics package

Assembly and QC

Sequence, fixtures, torque, seals, cable exits, and incoming / in-process / EOL gates.

Change and support

How ECO requests land, who owns the decision, and optional line support through pilot or first production lots.

Engage when a quote needs a package, or a CM needs more than a ZIP of CAD.

Best after DFM & DFA and a clear production intent – often alongside or after a pilot build. We also join when a CM has already started and mark-ups, yield or missing process notes are blocking release. Bangalore studio; EV and other hardware; we manufacture when fit allows and we hand off cleanly when your CM owns the line.
