Second Source Analysis

Supplier Analysis

BOM Analysis

Variant and Destination Analysis

Four Point Comparison

Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)

Preferred Parts Lists

Design Data Analysis

Component Analysis

DS-CR provides analysis of where components are used and what second sources are defined. The engineer also has access to criteria available to rate second source components for their order of usage.

Library Analysis

DS-CR provides in-depth analysis to maintain the best possible quality of library information before reusing libraries or its individual objects.

Where-used Analysis

DS-CR provides a where-used search capability that shows where a component is being used, whether it is used by other assemblies, which revision of the assembly it is in, etc.

Second Source Analysis

DS-CR offers a flexible way to rank components based on a customer’s matrix, to ensure valid methods for engineers to bridge the gap between engineering suppliers.

Supplier Analysis

By combining the supplier information with technology, quality and source rating information, you can make an informed decision, considering all variables, to guarantee the right component is selected to deliver the best business results.

BOM Analysis

DS-CR provides BOM analysis based on a broad range of criteria, e.g. preferred vendor/supplier analysis; component technology analysis; component lifecycle analysis; price analysis; quality analysis; stock amount analysis; development and manufacturing approval analysis.

Variant and Destination Analysis

DS-CR is ideally suited to help with variant and destination management, while ensuring high levels of quality and reliability.

Four Point Comparison

To guarantee permanent synchronization between component lists, material master and related schematic and layout files, DS-CR provides a four point comparison method to cover all changes of related information, within a single comparison result window.

Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)

DS-CR helps engineers to evaluate the recommended stress criteria of FMEA when de-rating electronic parts or components, and to define the maximum application stress values.

Preferred Parts Lists

Preferred Parts Lists include components pre-approved for use within a company, division or a given project. A PPL actively promotes approved parts and supports accurate part selection and type reduction.

Design Data Analysis

DS-CR supports the definition of data management analysis and design reuse plans for any given scenario: design data analysis and reuse; design data; archiving of verified design data for regulatory audits; design data access to allow users to work from any computer around the world.
