Hard to Find Components
Obsolete components are an ongoing concern for manufacturers. Locator can find obsolete parts when you need them. We'll send you a quote with availability, pricing and delivery terms. Obsolescence occurs because:
- Component manufacturers discontinue manufacture of parts every day.
- Components obsolescence schedules are extremely difficult to manage.
- Purchasing misses "last buy" opportunities.
- Manufacturers frequently will schedule production runs on low demand components on an annual or semi-annual basis.
- Franchised distribution may be reluctant to carry sufficient inventory levels for low demand items.
- Specialty components are frequently sold through non-standard distribution channels.
With YEG locator’s extensive industry knowledge and close relationships with our supplier base, we are able to highlight to our customer’s potential obsolescence issues and develop suitable design solutions and/or manage last time buy opportunities.
