In addition to added IP protection and ASIC performance efficiency, one of the greatest strengths of die and wafer banking is long-term cost-effectiveness. At the current rate of innovation and exponentially increasing demand, some critical components are transitioning to obsolescence before they even hit the market. To counter, if the OEM chooses to operate in…
The term obsolescence management strategy, while simple in theory (how OEMs adapt their supply chain when faced with critical electronic components approaching end-of-life), has a nearly infinite number of variations in the supply chain marketplace. In one regard, this is understandable given how each industry — and each manufacturer within that industry — prioritizes different…
If one follows the money and the national conversation circulating around auto industry leaders such as Tesla, GM, Ford, Toyota, and potential game-changers such as Byton, the ever-evolving auto industry seems to universally agree on one thing: the future is electric. Although electric vehicles (EVs) only accounted for approximately 2 million of the vehicles on…
The creation, marketing, and ultimately selling of a successful OEM product typically comes down to three simple factors: • Value: How much value does the product offer the consumer for the cost? This does not necessarily mean that the cheaper the product, the more successful. Instead, it’s more helpful and accurate to question what the…
Since the early 1900s when Henry Ford pioneered the original assembly line, the evolution of the supply chain has been tightly linked to the auto industry — and ever since it has been held up by manufacturers as a shining beacon representing what a supply chain is capable of. Compared to most modern manufacturers, auto…
It is widely understood that “obsolescence” as it relates to the manufacturing industry is defined as the transition of electronic components toward end-of-life. There are many reasons this could occur – some as the result of a component’s natural life cycle, others as the result of unforeseeable circumstances – but regardless of precisely why it…
