Jak QSC zoptymalizowało wybór komponentów elektronicznych oraz program zarządzania ryzykiem w łańcuchu dostaw
To narzędzie jest warte każdej wydanej złotówki. Stanowi cenne i kluczowe wsparcie. Nie ma w nim niczego, czego bym potrzebował, a czego by nie było. Powiedziałbym, że Z2Data oszczędza mi co najmniej 10 godzin tygodniowo, i to tylko na moim stanowisku. Z2Data obejmuje wszystkie aspekty komponentów — od projektowania po produkcję. Oszczędza czas nie tylko mój, lecz także zespołów ds. zgodności z przepisami, zaopatrzenia i projektowania. Każdy dział zyskuje ogrom czasu korzystając z platformy 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.
