One of the biggest disconnects between engineers and supply chain may start earlier than you think.

In this clip from one of our podcast episodes, Steve Maxson and Kristin discuss why many engineers wait until the design is further along before engaging with suppliers. While the intent is often to avoid unnecessary conversations, delaying supplier involvement can mean missing valuable input on material selection, lead times, and cost optimization.

Watch the full episode to hear Steve's perspective on bridging the gap between engineers and supply chain, and why engaging early can help accelerate development while reducing challenges.

Usually, Steve Maxson from Chamfr is the one asking the questions. But for our newest episode of Bits and Pieces, we flipped the script. Kristin sits down with Steve to discuss all things MedTech, including what he's learned from working alongside engineers and suppliers.

One of the biggest takeaways from the conversation? You don't have to be an engineer to get started. There are many paths into MedTech, and it needs talented people from all backgrounds.

Watch the full episode to hear Steve's career story, why there are more paths into this industry than many people realize, and a good conversation about what every company needs: magical hands.

A common misconception is that needle hub colors follow a universal standard across industries. In reality, color coding may vary by manufacturer, making color an unreliable specification for critical applications.

In this clip from Bits & Pieces, Mark Maffett and Kristin Livesay discuss why engineers and product designers should focus on dimensional and performance requirements rather than color when specifying needles.

Watch the full episode to learn more about needle geometry, end forms, and other key considerations that can impact device performance.

It's , and we're excited to feature Holly Nicholson from our Inventory Control department.

Holly plays a huge role in keeping our inventory accurate and our orders moving quickly. Work that might happen behind the scenes, but makes a big difference for every customer. When she's not keeping things running smoothly here, you'll find her in the kitchen, trying out different recipes, or lost in a good book.

We're grateful to have Holly as part of the Component Supply team!
