Rochester minimises supply chain disruption
Ensuring long-term component support and availability
In an era of increasing component obsolescence and supply chain uncertainty, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) face growing challenges in securing critical semiconductors. Traditional sourcing methods often fall short, particularly when parts are no longer quoted or supported. Rochester Electronics addresses these challenges head-on by offering long-term component support, end-of-life solutions, and a strategic partnership model that ensures consistent supply, mitigates risk, and reduces procurement pressure. This article explores how proactive sourcing and collaboration with trusted distributors can future-proof production and safeguard operational continuity.
Long-term component support and availability
Annual price negotiations between Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and semiconductor suppliers often reveal a significant challenge: materials that are no longer quoted due to obsolescence. As a result, procurement teams may spend countless hours attempting to source unavailable products, wasting valuable time and leading to considerable frustration.
Streamlining sourcing
By streamlining the sourcing process and working with reliable partners, OEMs can overcome these obstacles and focus on what matters most: production. Proactive sourcing is essential for staying ahead of obsolescence. Launching a product with obsolete components is not unprecedented, and this issue is particularly relevant for customers with long development and qualification cycles. Rather than waiting for critical components to become obsolete, companies can adopt a strategic approach and collaborate with authorised distributors, such as Rochester Electronics, who specialise in managing end-of-life devices. Building relationships with trusted partners ensures OEMs have consistent access to the components they need, regardless of where they are in a product’s lifecycle.
