Having an idea for a new device does not yet answer the question of how to move from concept to prototype, testing, and production. This article organizes the first stage of decision-making. It explains where to start, what information to prepare before the first discussion, and who to contact at each stage of the project. […]
The withdrawal of a component from the market is rarely just a purchasing issue. It is a risk that can directly affect design, production, servicing, costs, and delivery schedules. In this article, you will learn what Obsolescence Management is, how to identify early EOL warning signs, how to analyze BOM structures, and when to choose […]
