When an OEM or EMS provider decides to adopt a BOM monitoring service into their supply chain, what do they expect to receive? And once it has been received, does it really provide what today’s supply chain requires? If we are discussing the vast majority of offerings currently available, the answer is relatively simple. With…
OEMs across the world are gradually coming to understand the importance of staying ahead of obsolescence in the acquisition of critical electronic components – and the consequences of not accounting for it. However, especially in competitive markets where component demand far outweighs an OCM’s ability to meet supply orders, there is another variable that can…
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 life cycle of their…
The supply chain industry is hardly alone in supporting the global push for Big Data technologies. Nearly every industry, from telecommunications to energy to healthcare, has been steadily accumulating detailed, relevant information on their products and clients with the intention of one day incorporating it into their future offerings. But for 2018, we anticipate that…
