From obsolescence to holistic supply chain risk management

In the electronics industry, predicting obsolescence, i.e., the discontinuation of components, has long been the central goal of risk management. But those days are over.

Today, geopolitical tensions, environmental regulations, and multi-level supply chain risks threaten the stability of production networks far more than individual component discontinuations.

 

The key: integrated supply chain risk management (SCRM) that intelligently links internal and external data.

This is impressively demonstrated by the new partnership between Z2Data and AMSYS:

 

1. Z2Data provides comprehensive information on components, suppliers, and locations.
2. AMSYS supplements this data with individual workflows and internal company information such as the criticality of components, inventory levels, and frequency of use.

 

This combination provides a holistic view of risks, from obsolescence prediction to risk assessment according to IEC 62402 standard.

This enables companies to:

1. Quantify risks (likelihood × impact)
2. Set priorities (“high,” “medium,” “low”)
3. And initiate structured proactive measures such as alternative procurement channels or design adjustments.

 

Conclusion:

👉 Those who manage their supply chain transparently and based on data can turn risks into competitive advantages.
