New Strategies and Forging Connections
On average, many electronic components such as semiconductors go obsolete within or shortly after 3 years of being introduced to the market. Production for these electronic components stops when the manufacturer issues an End of Life (EOL) notice to their clients. Once the EOL notice is sent out, the component becomes obsolete from that point onwards and becomes much harder to find and acquire aside from rising value.
This is also why obsolete electronic components distributors like BD Electronics have an important place in the market. With the contemporary design and behaviour of the current electronics industry, obsolete electronic components stockers and distributors are in high demand because of the continuously increasing catalogues of phased-out components.
Here are some strategies BD Electronics used to fulfil the company’s mission and vision.
Effectively Sourcing the Open Market
Often, when electronic components are announced or classified as obsolete, customers will have no choice but to try and source the components online or on the open market. This is not necessarily difficult but is considered risky due to the danger of procuring counterfeit or defective products. As such, buyers should be cautious of their online dealings and look for certified distributors to source from to mitigate the risks. Here at BD Electronics, sourcing obsolete components are our speciality. The company’s supplier network has been built through years of scrubbing and refinement, leaving BD Electronics with a dependable vendor base. In addition, the company’s rating system ensures our vendors are thoroughly vetted and continuously monitored.
Taking Advantage of Last Time Buys
When an electronic component is scheduled to become obsolete, the original component manufacturer (OCM) will formally release a product change notice (PCN) to inform buyers and clientele. These PCNs that are sent out notify the consumers of changes to specific components such as specification updates, manufacturing locations, or in this case, obsolescence notifications.
When PCNs about obsolescence is often released, the notification is referred to as a product discontinuation notice (PDN). A PDN usually contains information about why a specific component is being obsoleted, what other components can be suitable alternatives, and the last time buys (LTB) date and its separate shipment.
BD Electronics strategises about making the most use and securing advantages with the help of LTB notice to secure a newly obsolete component before it completely disappears from the market. The company understands that this option only works if a PCNs last buy and ship dates are far enough to place an order and continues to stock various electronic components before becoming completely obsolete.
Making Lifetime Buys
Another strategy BD Electronics employs is taking advantage of lifetime buying agreements to facilitating long-term stocking and distribution. This strategy incentivises both the EMS providers and OEMs as well as distributors because this method allows all parties to circumvent availability issues upon facing the threat of obsolescence. Once all parties agree, an entire lifetime supply of the specified component is manufactured and procured by the client.
Before an agreement can be made, BD Electronics predicts the life-cycle of the end product to make accurate forecasts of quantities needed for production. This can safeguard OEM and EMS companies from component obsolescence issues, shortages, and other disruptions in the supply chain.
