概要
Market Availability Risk reads the demand and supply balance for every MPN on your BOM and grades each part Tight, Tightening, Balanced, or Loose. The score is modeled from distributor inventory trends across 10,000+ sources, the direction of lead times, and pricing movement, then refreshed weekly. A BOM-level heatmap shows which components sit under the most market pressure right now, so procurement can place a strategic buy on a tightening part before a coverage gap turns into a line-down event.
Z2 blends three live signals into a single availability grade per MPN: distributor inventory trends pulled from 10,000+ sources, the direction lead times are moving, and pricing movement across the market. When stock thins, lead times stretch, and price climbs together, a part shifts from Balanced to Tightening to Tight. Because the grade rests on observed market behavior rather than a static stock count, it catches pressure building on an active part well before that part shows up on a shortage list.
Load a BOM and every line carries its current availability grade, so you see at a glance which components face the most market pressure now and which are sitting Loose. The heatmap sorts a thousand-line assembly down to the handful of MPNs that need a strategic buy or a qualified second source this quarter. Pair a Tight grade with a part's lifecycle stage and obsolescence forecast, and you can tell a temporary squeeze from a part that is also heading end-of-life.
Every availability grade is tracked over time, so you can pull the history behind a part and see whether a Tight signal is a seasonal swing or a sustained climb. Procurement uses the trend to size last-time buys and set safety stock, and the same record backs a clean executive view of where the build is exposed. When a part tightened last cycle, you have the evidence to bring the buy forward this time instead of reacting late.
Market Availability Risk is one capability inside Part Risk Manager, Z2's component risk platform. The availability signal shares the same data layer as lifecycle forecasting, supplier risk, and compliance, so a Tight grade sits next to a part's obsolescence forecast, sourcing footprint, and country of origin on the same record. That shared layer is what lets you separate a short-term market squeeze from a part that is genuinely scarce and heading toward discontinuation.

Z2 models the demand and supply balance for each MPN from distributor inventory trends across 10,000+ sources, the direction lead times are moving, and pricing movement, then grades the part Tight, Tightening, Balanced, or Loose. The grade is refreshed weekly.
No. A Tight grade reflects current market pressure, not lifecycle stage. Read it alongside the part's obsolescence forecast on the same record to tell a temporary squeeze from a part that is also heading end-of-life.
Yes. Load a BOM and every line carries its availability grade in a heatmap, so you can sort a large assembly down to the handful of MPNs that need a strategic buy or a second source.
