PCN and PDN Tracking on Your Parts

Z2 captures product change and discontinuance notices the same day they publish, then matches each to the exact part numbers in your BOM so you act before a change becomes a shortage.

Überblick

Part Risk Manager monitors product change notices (PCNs) and product discontinuance notices (PDNs) across thousands of manufacturers and delivers them the day they issue. Most manufacturers reference only a top-level product family, leaving you to figure out which part numbers are affected. Z2 closes that gap: it identifies the impacted MPNs, validates each notice against JEDEC standards, and surfaces the ones that hit your BOM, so you stay ahead of changes instead of reacting too late.

Same-Day Notices Matched to Your MPNs

When a manufacturer issues a PCN or PDN, Z2 captures it and matches it against your bill of materials the same day. Part Risk Manager tracks 10,000+ PCNs annually from 3,200+ manufacturers, de-duplicates them, and ties each notice to the exact MPNs it touches, with no manual cross-referencing of portals, emails, or PDFs. Manufacturers rarely name individual part numbers; they publish against a product line or wafer family and expect you to map the change down. Z2 does that mapping, so a notice that names only a series still lands on the right line of your BOM.

Categorized by JEDEC Change Type

Not every notice carries the same weight: a labeling update is not a wafer site move, and a packing change is not a discontinuance. Z2 validates each notice against JEDEC standards and categorizes it across the types that drive procurement and engineering decisions: obsolescence, discontinuance, material changes, wafer site changes, packing changes, storage and handling, and labeling. That classification lets you route the right notice to the right team, whether a requalification for a material change or a last-time-buy plan for a discontinuance.

A Unified Inbox for Every Change

Every PCN and PDN that touches your parts collects in one place inside Part Risk Manager, filtered to your BOM and sorted by severity. Instead of watching dozens of portals and inboxes, your team works from a single ranked feed. Compliance officers, sourcing engineers, and supply chain managers see the same prioritized list, act on high-severity notices first, and keep an audit trail of what changed and when, turning change management from a scramble into a routine.

Häufige Fragen

What is the difference between a PCN and a PDN?

A PCN (product change notice) tells you a manufacturer is altering a part, such as a material, packing, wafer site, or labeling change. A PDN (product discontinuance notice) tells you a part is being phased out. Part Risk Manager tracks both and categorizes each, so you can tell a minor labeling update from a discontinuance that needs a last-time-buy plan.

How quickly does Z2 deliver a notice after it is published?

Z2 captures PCNs and PDNs the same day they issue. Each notice is matched against your BOM and appears against the affected part numbers immediately, giving you maximum lead time rather than discovering the change months later.

How does Z2 know which of my parts a notice affects?

Most manufacturers publish notices against a top-level product line rather than naming individual part numbers. Z2 resolves each notice down to the MPNs it impacts, validates it against JEDEC standards, and matches those MPNs to your BOM automatically. A notice that names only a series still lands on the correct line.
