概要
Most supply chain tools tell you a part or site is at risk and stop there. Where-Used, part of Z2 Supply Chain Watch, runs the lookup the other way: from a single component or location up through your BOM to the finished products that depend on it. When a fab goes offline or a part goes on allocation, you see which end products are exposed and how much revenue is tied to each, moving the conversation from tracking parts to protecting shipments.
Supply Chain Watch maps the components in your BOMs to their original locations, covering direct suppliers and sub-tier fabs and assembly sites. Where-Used inverts that map: select any part or site and Z2 walks the dependency chain upward to surface every finished product that consumes it. No spreadsheet cross-referencing, no guessing which programs share a component. The relationships are already modeled, so a single click answers a question that normally takes a sourcing analyst days.
When an event lands, a disaster, conflict, trade restriction, or shortage, Supply Chain Watch already matches it to your affected parts and sites. Where-Used carries that signal the rest of the way: instead of a list of impacted MPNs, you get the finished products at risk. That reframing matters, because product teams, operations, and executives think in shippable goods and delivery dates, not part numbers.
Knowing which products are exposed is only half the decision. Where-Used attaches the revenue tied to each affected product, so you can rank exposures by financial impact instead of treating every part shortage as equally urgent. That lets leaders bring a quantified picture to product and executive reviews: the programs at risk, the revenue behind them, and where mitigation should go first.
Because Supply Chain Watch also identifies alternative sites for affected parts, Where-Used connects exposure directly to action. Once you know which products are threatened and what they are worth, you can prioritize qualifying second sources, contacting manufacturers for the impacted MPNs, and planning delivery and cost strategy with product teams. You plan continuity before the shortage hits instead of writing up the damage after.
機能
Where-UsedはZ2DataのSupply Chain Watchに搭載された機能の一つであり、real-time monitoring of disruptive events mapped to your parts and manufacturing sites, so you act before a disruption reaches your line.
よくあるご質問
Part-to-site mapping traces a component down to where it is made. Where-Used runs the reverse, from a part or site up to the finished products that rely on it. One answers where a part comes from; the other answers which products break if that part or site is disrupted.
Where-Used shows the revenue tied to each affected finished product alongside the exposure, so you can rank impacts financially. That turns a list of at-risk products into a prioritized view product teams and executives can act on.
Yes. Supply Chain Watch monitors global disruption events and matches them to your parts and sites in real time. Where-Used extends that match up to the affected products, so during an active event you immediately see which finished goods and how much revenue are exposed.
