Supplier Analysis
During engineering activities the component selection process is largely based on two different methods:
- Design engineer driven
- Component engineer driven
Independent to the method being used, the level of detail and characteristics of information demanded is the same. Supplier details are one type of information that is very important. The component reliability of individual suppliers is very important for making decisions whether you should use the component in a particular project.
By combining the supplier information with technology, quality and source rating information, you are able to make an informed component selection decision considering all variables, to guarantee that the right component is selected to deliver the best business results.
