	Visual bills of materials (vBOMs) are visual representations of parts, arranged in a spatial orientation corresponding to a real product or design, which includes hyperlinks to actual part sourcing websites to enable rapid understanding of sourcing for all types of hardware builds.		Visual bills of materials (vBOMs) are visual representations of parts, arranged in a spatial orientation corresponding to a real product or design, which includes hyperlinks to actual part sourcing websites to enable rapid understanding of sourcing for all types of hardware builds.

			'''In short - vBOMs are visual hyperlinked sourcing diagrams to facilitate part purchasing of simple and complex designs'''

			*Place all vBOM icons into a master vBOM library doc. This allows for drag and drop into future designs.
			*Proven degenerate design can readily be reconfigured using this method.
			*Graphical language should be used as much as possible. To gain best results, learn to think and design visually. We call this [[Iconic Design]]
