During the development stages of a product, product teams need to “quickly” understand

• The realistic cost of components that engineers select for a product
• The cost needs to be appropriate for the intended purchase volume quantity
• OEMs also need to have early visibility on MPN availability issues

TechInsights helps them to determine market pricing for your BOM at projected target volume, twice the projected target volume and half the projected target volume

These teams often work with multiple product Business Units (BUs) in order to understand the component requirements for each product within the BU in order to develop an aggregated understand of demand for the company. TechInsights helps them to:

• Determine market pricing for aggregated purchases
• Identify where to best focus limited procurement resources to hit corporate cost reduction targets
• Continually drive cost reductions during production, based on latest market pricing data

Supply-chain teams need early visibility on potential supply commodity issues that could impact lead-times.

TechInsights povides early visibility on lead-time trends for commodity electronic components at a category-level e.g. ceramic capacitors
