Identifying A Reliable Electronic Components Distributor

March 1, 2013 - PRLog -- Long-Term Financial Success
The challenges of managing obsolete programs can impact long-term financial success as well as future production capabilities for both long and short-term projects, regardless of their age (obsolete vs new). Inventory procurement plays a large role in obsolete programs, making the problems of excess as well as minimal or scarce inventory a big risk to reaching program goals. Addressing an inefficient and excess inventory strategy requires a solution that addresses both financial and supply chain requirements. Catering to one or the other is disruptive, and can lead to inventory sitting idle on the books or a potential and costly write-down.

The margin for error quickly diminishes when searching for obsolete parts, as only weak strategies fail to address future part needs. Inventory acquisition for obsolete programs can never be a short-term solution, since short-term solutions for obsolete part procurement is another way of describing a failed strategy. Supporting long-term goals on a weak inventory management strategy adds instability to the entire supply chain. Implementing an inventory management system that meets the financial needs of the company while maintaining production continuity adds stability to your mission-critical processes and allows long-term goals to be met.

Supply Chain Equation
Long term success hinges on the consistency of parts movement across your entire supply chain. The mix of modern and obsolete parts that it takes to successfully support a vast array of mission-critical objectives requires the supply chain strategy to contain a reliable and authentic electronic components distributor. Adding reliability and consistency to the supply chain equation adds two significant factors to inventory management strategies:

Availability to plan and aim for long-term goals.
An increase in quality assurance.


The supply chain is the backbone for the defense and aerospace industry, bringing in both new and obsolete products to companies sustaining essential programs and operations. With its complexity, supply chains are being pushed to their limit with the increasing demands and equipment requirements, causing capacity constraints in every tier of operations. These obstacles risk hindering the performance and success of mission-critical programs.

A Reliable Distributor
It’s essential to continuously evaluate the dynamic and ever-shifting market. A reliable distributor with longevity, relationship breadth and sophisticated assessment tools provides real visibility into real-time market demand, enabling movement of a wide range of product with the integrity upon which the market thrives.
