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…
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…
There is a lifecycle 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. BOM…
OEMs across the globe in nearly every imaginable industry, in some capacity, feel the impact of obsolescence on their supply chain. The reasons for the discontinuation of critical electronic components are varied, but regardless of the many forms obsolescence takes, there remains one true constant: It is an issue that no amount of oversight or…

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…
