The challenges of electronic component procurement
Electronic component procurement is as important as other steps in PCB manufacturing and assembly. Even products with excellent production facilities and advanced manufacturing equipment may be paralyzed due to issues related to PCB components. Let's discuss the common challenges encountered in the procurement and electronic component procurement process.
Environmental policy
PCB components have been certified to comply with environmental regulations. Additional testing and material composition limitations may result in higher costs and more complex procurement processes. It is very important to consider environmental compliance as early as possible in the PCB component design and material selection process.
Technical updates
The field of electronics will never stagnate. We are constantly improving, enhancing, and developing current systems and technologies every day. The PCB component procurement team must keep up with trends, understand new technologies, material innovations, and the latest manufacturing technologies. Because the purchase price of electronic components will change over time.
Changes in supply and demand
PCB components are inevitably affected by key supply and demand factors such as geopolitical conflicts, customer demand fluctuations, and price fluctuations. Faced with these factors, the PCB parts procurement team must remain vigilant at all times to understand and mitigate the impact.
PCB design requirements
The selected PCB components depend on the design complexity of the printed circuit board. Not all components are ready-made and readily available. Some components must be customized to meet the space requirements of the circuit board and housing. These may be challenging for finding suitable PCB component suppliers. The BOM procurement team must closely coordinate with PCB designers to ensure that components have consistent supply and technical qualifications to meet PCB requirements. Therefore, the procurement team can provide customers with reasonable electronic component purchase prices.
