The impact of component scarcity - how Global Electronics ensures security of supply

Scarcity of electronic components is a major concern for many companies. Global shortages lead to delayed production, escalating costs and unreliable delivery times. Global Electronics provides an answer to this problem with a thoughtful combination of procurement strategy, BOM analysis and inventory solutions.

Proactive sourcing with global coverage

Our experienced purchasing department works with a global network of certified suppliers. Thanks to long-term relationships and economies of scale, we manage to secure the required components even in times of scarcity.

Benefits of our procurement strategy:

• direct access to multiple sourcing channels;
  
• preferential treatment when the market is tight;
  
• real-time visibility into availability and delivery times.

BOM analysis as risk mitigation

We analyze each BOM for critical dependencies. This means:

• identification of single-sourced components;
  
• proactive suggestions for alternatives;
  
• Advising on design changes to mitigate risks.
  

By thinking along from the beginning, we avoid dependence on hard-to-find components and build resilience in the supply chain.

Customer-specific inventory strategies

Global Electronics offers several customized inventory solutions. For critical products, we maintain strategic stocks in our warehouses. This enables our customers to continue production even if the market is temporarily stagnant.

Our stock strategy includes:

• alignment with forecast and off-take patterns;
  
• stock guarantees for core components;
  
• flexibility in delivery and production scheduling.
