Cómo QSC optimizó la selección de componentes electrónicos y la gestión de riesgos en su cadena de suministro
La herramienta vale cada centavo. Es una herramienta valiosa y fundamental. No hay nada que desee que no esté en la herramienta. Diría que Z2Data me ahorra al menos 10 horas a la semana, y esto solo en mi función. Z2Data abarca todos los aspectos del componente, desde el diseño hasta la fabricación. No solo me ahorra tiempo a mí, sino también a los equipos de cumplimiento normativo, compras y diseño. Cada departamento ahorra mucho tiempo utilizando la plataforma de Z2Data.

The Background
QSC is a globally-recognized leader in the design, engineering and manufacturing of award-winning solutions and services with R&D, manufacturing, sales, marketing, support and operations teams across multiple continents.
QSC was using various tools to manage its component selection, compliance, and supply chain risk management, which created operational inefficiencies and did not fully meet the companies needs.
Solution
To help streamline operations and bridge the gap and increase operation productivity, Karon Evanoff, the SVP of Global Operations, recommends streamlining the supply chain risk management program by using Z2Data's Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) Platform and a suite of products.
After thoroughly vetting and onboarding the Z2Data Compliance Module, the QSC executive team recognized the benefits of incorporating fully integrated supply chain risk management solutions. As a result, Z2Data's Part Risk Manager and the Supply Chain Watch tools were also integrated within QSC's business units.
Result
Z2Data is now being used from start to finish of the component journey from component selection, BOM analysis, PCN and Life-Cycle management, compliance, cross-reference analysis, and reliability testing to sourcing, helping bring agility and resiliency to QSC's supply chain management process.
The parts are first analyzed for design feasibility, life cycle status, availability, and compliance prior to being approved for production and sourcing. The tool is further used to receive real-time alerts and to mitigate supply chain disruptions such as component obsolescence.
