We buy inventory so you don't have to.
The goal of BOM monitoring services has always been to offer OEMs and EMS providers a way to seamlessly implement a proactive supply chain infrastructure that can accurately monitor obsolescence. However, especially in competitive markets where component demand far outweighs an OCM’s ability to meet supply orders, there is another variable that can be every…
Historically, BOM Monitoring services have been used to help original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, react to obsolescence in electronic components when it occurs. Upon confirmation of a critical component’s or semiconductor’s end of life, manufacturers would then either initiate a last time buy to secure sufficient inventory to support the entire lifecycle of their product,…
“There is little about the “Great Component Shortage of 2018” that hasn’t already been thoroughly analyzed. Unprecedented demand for smaller and more efficient passive electronics, especially in the automotive and IoT industries, has driven lead times for once commoditized components to the breaking point. What hasn’t been discussed, however, is the equal pushback OEMs are…
Nothing is worth compromising business continuity, right? After all, consistently acquiring and distributing the right quantity of components to the right manufacturing facilities is the aim of every supply chain manager, and a goal that is virtually impossible to accomplish without adapting to numerous and inevitable supply chain disruptions. The current component market, for example,…
Steve Jobs once said, “Technology is nothing. What’s important is that you have a faith in people, that they’re basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they’ll do wonderful things with them.” Obviously, Jobs was not discussing the merits of Partstat, but he might as well have. Partstat not only stands on…
2018 has seen the chip market experiencing a period of nearly record demand, especially for chip capacitors, resistors, and memory such as NOR and NAND Flash. Although this surge was largely anticipated by many industry analysts, the sheer scale of it nevertheless has caught even some of the world’s leading chip manufacturers off guard. Even…
