We buy inventory so you don't have to.
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…
Regardless of services offered or products manufactured, there have always been certain universal quality management standards implemented by the world’s most successful companies. At the center of these standards was a deceptively simple concept: maximizing customer satisfaction. For most of history, these standards went largely unwritten – a common endpoint reached through trial and error…
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…
It’s becoming increasingly important to leverage big data in day to day supply chain activities like selling excess inventory, searching for obsolete or replacement parts and even monitoring the critical parts on your BOM (bill of materials). Selling excess inventory can be cumbersome. The demand sometimes isn’t there for electronic components that are left over…
There is a life cycle mismatch between the life of an electronic component, or semiconductor, and the life of an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) product. This problem requires that during design, engineers must be cognizant of which electronic components and semiconductors will be available, and which parts may be obsoleted during a product’s manufacturing process.…
