Supply chain resilience

Automation in the supply chain brought several massive improvements to manufacturing, but this was just the beginning.

While global design activities experienced a slowdown in January, global sourcing activities showed a rebound from the previous month.

Industries that have historically never had a need for electronic components are now fueling unparalleled demand. As a result, an ongoing shortage has gripped the industry as component manufacturers struggle to meet requirements.

To navigate supply chain disruptions, engineers of electronic products need access to accurate supply chain intelligence throughout the electronics system design lifecycle.

Companies designing and producing electronic systems that optimize their component sourcing processes can better mitigate supply chain disruptions.

Companies designing and producing electronic systems that implement a resilient, connected supply chain approach will be better poised to weather supply chain disruptions.

Electronics systems designers need reliable, accurate, and timely supply chain intelligence to overcome the challenges of a volatile supply chain.

To become more resilient in the face of supply chain disruptions, electronic systems designers are leveraging design tools with integrated, real-time supply chain intelligence.

When it comes to supply chain disruptions, it pays to be prepared with real-time, integrated supply chain intelligence solutions.

Today, things look a lot different when it comes to supply chain systems. The pandemic shone a light on any pre-existing problems in supply chain functions.

In many organizations you will still see silos when it comes to PCB design and supply chain functions. This is adding to the supply chain problem overall.

This phase is about equipping engineers and teams with comprehensive real-time component sourcing data so they can make more informed part decisions when the cost of change is lowest.

This phase further applies the insights from component sourcing knowledge and couples it with part intelligence to empower more informed actions, lowering both cost and risk.

What does Siemens mean by “optimization?” And how does it apply to designing for supply chain resilience?
