	The critical skill in creating a good BOM is determined when the search has been exhaustive, and the best decision has been made. To make this decision, references, reviews, or recurrence of a similar price for apparently the same features - are the best guide. Since the supply chain can change dynamically, reliability and start ility is important. The first choice of verifying suppliers would be word of mouth or referral from other customers, especially trusted customers.

			=Local Adaptation=
			Just like we create sourcing for the original OSE International location - sourcing should be locally adapted for most favorable sources for build locations other than Missouri, USA. Thus, there should be a whole set of BOM spreadsheets available - for local adaptation.

	The IP value of the open source supply chain is that the supply chain listing should distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources - on grounds of product quality, shipping, service, or other factors. The difference between a good supplier and bad support can mean heavy losses, or even going out of business. Supply chain risk is perhaps the most u controllable risk in distributed production, for which reason OSE's ultimate approach to solve this issue at the core is [[Technological Recursion]] and [[Import Substitution]] via relocalized production and supply chain creation within minimum distance practical, which should be no more than one hour travel distance. This facilitates not only a Robust supply chain, but also rapid innovation cycles within OSE's framework as a learning organization striving for continuous improvement.

	Suppliers can include local Hardware stores, such as menards, home depot, and Lowes as the main ones in the area. [[Mokan Fastener]] is the most favorable local industrial supply of bolts. [[Metal by the Foot]] is a local contractor supploer of all steel sections, up to 3" diameter rod or larger. There will be other industrial suppliers, McMaster Carr being the most favorable, followed by [[Grainger]] and [[Misumi]] that specializes in cut to length aluminum extrusions. Locally there is the [[Sweiger Shop]] as a heavy metal fabricator. Then there are various global online stores. Amazon and ebay are common sources. And ultimately, there is Alibaba and China, which has many [[OEM]] sources, where one needs to email and get a quote. Sometimes these OEMs will have a formal [[RFQ]] forms, or less formal email. Relevant considerations there are lead time needed, as well as Minimum Order Quantity ([[MOQ]]).

	In order to promote open-sourcing of the supply chain, we can collaborate with other open source enterprises and request that they share their supply chain information with the world. Our allies may include entities like Lulzbot, Prusa Research, Folgertech 3D Printers, Andrew Graham, who is currently developing a kit, Chris Palmer who has sold kits before, Adrian Bowyer who started the open source 3D printer movement, Ultimaker, and Zach Hoeken, one of the original creators of Makerbots - along with OSHWA, Sparkfun, Adafruit, and others.
