BOM Risk Grades for Every Component

Turn a raw bill of materials into a graded risk dashboard: every component gets one 0 to 100 score from six factors, so you see BOM health and act on the parts dragging it down.

Überblick

BOM Risk Grades are the scoring layer inside Z2 Part Risk Manager. Instead of sifting through lifecycle status, compliance flags, pricing, and supplier data part by part, Z2 rolls those signals into a composite grade on a 0 to 100 scale, where 100 means no detectable risk. A high score reflects parts that are multi-sourced, suppliers that are financially stable, and components projected to stay active for years. The grade is transparent: open any score to see the factors driving it and which parts to address first.

Grade every line and know what to fix first

One Score, Six Risk Factors

Every component gets a composite grade from six sub-scores: obsolescence and lifecycle forecast, regulatory compliance, market availability, technology generation, multi-sourcing, and supplier financial health. Z2 scores each on its own, then weights them into a single number, so a part with one critical weakness does not hide behind otherwise clean data. Because the grade is a weighted composite, not a flat average, the highest-impact parts rise to the top. A connector that is single-sourced from a distressed supplier and within 18 months of forecasted end of life surfaces ahead of a multi-sourced, compliant, active part, even at a similar headline number, so you work the BOM from most urgent to least.

Actual Grade and Potential Grade

Z2 shows two numbers per BOM: the Actual Risk Grade for the BOM as it stands today, and the Potential Risk Grade you reach with targeted changes. Z2 identifies the specific parts and suppliers that, if swapped or re-sourced, move your grade the most, so you prioritize the work by impact. That turns the grade from a report card into a planning tool: you see how much a cross-reference, second source, or supplier change raises the number before you commit engineering hours. You can filter cross-reference candidates by lifecycle, country of origin, compliance, and availability, so the swaps you evaluate are already vetted against the same factors that produced the grade.

Grades That Stay Current

Risk is not static, and neither are the grades. Scores recalculate as lifecycle status shifts, PCNs and discontinuance notices land, availability tightens, supplier financials change, and compliance data updates. A part graded clean at design freeze can move into the at-risk band months later, and the BOM grade reflects that with no manual re-upload. Because the same upload feeds compliance, obsolescence forecasting, pricing, and supplier risk, the grade reflects the current state of every dimension, drawn from Z2's tracking of 1B+ components and 1M+ pre-scored suppliers. Alerts tied to your BOM mean Z2 notifies you of a grade change, instead of you discovering it at the next review.

Drill Into Any Number

A score is only useful if you can trust and explain it. Every grade decomposes fully: click into a component's number to see each of the six sub-scores, the signals feeding them, and the underlying data such as lifecycle forecast, REACH and RoHS status, distributor availability, and supplier profile. No black box. That matters when a grade has to justify a sourcing decision or design change to stakeholders who were not in the tool. Engineers confirm why a part scored as it did, sourcing managers defend a re-source, and compliance officers trace a flag to the regulation that triggered it. The grade summarizes the risk; the drill-down proves it.

Häufige Fragen

What does the 0 to 100 BOM Risk Grade actually measure?

It is a composite of six factors: obsolescence and lifecycle forecast, regulatory compliance, market availability, technology generation, multi-sourcing, and supplier financial health. A score near 100 means a part is multi-sourced, compliant, available, and projected to stay active for years. Drill into any number to see which factors drive it.

What is the difference between the Actual and Potential grade?

The Actual Risk Grade reflects your BOM as it stands today. The Potential Risk Grade reflects the improved score from targeted changes. Z2 identifies the specific parts and suppliers that, if swapped or re-sourced, would raise your grade the most, so you prioritize mitigation by impact.

Do the grades update on their own after I upload a BOM?

Yes. Once a BOM is in Part Risk Manager, its grades recalculate continuously as lifecycle status, PCNs, market availability, supplier financials, and compliance data change. No re-upload is needed, and alerts notify you when a part moves into the at-risk band.
