Time-to-market
When will lead times return to ‘normal’? How can distributors help get products to market faster? How can buyers help reduce a product’s time- to-market? How will these causes change over time? What are the most common causes of delays and their solutions?
Sourcing ELECTRONICS Questionwall
We asked electronics buyers registered to attend the Electronics Live event what they would like to hear discussed. Here are some of the issues they highlighted.
Counterfeiting and obsolescence
What can OEMs do to stop counterfeits entering their inventory? How do distributors determine whether components are legitimate? If components are fake, how are OEMs compensated? As the economy grows, which components will be affected by obsolescence next? Counterfeiting is a known problem so why does it never make the news?
Catalogue-distribution
If I bought all my components via a catalogue distributor could they meet the discounts offered by volume distributors? What are catalogue distributors’ unique benefits compared with other types of distribution? Is bigger always better? Are the days of printed catalogues numbered? What innovations are catalogue distributors planning for the near future?
