Catastrophic Events
Unavoidable catastrophic events across the globe can cause supply chain disruptions which are very difficult to mitigate. For example, the Tsunami in Japan March 23rd, 2011, caused 25% of the worlds silicon wafer supply production to shut down, Nihon Dempa Kogyo, the world’s second largest manufacture of crystals, shut down entirely.
Through our commodity and category expertise, our PCM tools allow us to monitor, in real-time, source factories of the commodities your products use, providing you with up-to-the-minute notifications to pivot and implement mitigating solutions ahead of time.
Obsolescence
Each year, millions of individual electronic components are retired or become obsolete. The mismanagement of End of Life (EOL) notices is costing OEM’s millions of dollars annually in design refresh, product delays, and extra inventory sourcing and handling charges.
