ATLANTA - ECIA is pleased to announce a new resource for component buyers and engineers at [www.ecianow.org/buyers-engineers]www.ecianow.org/buyers-engineers. Customers can find new information about how lead times are calculated, the difference between component cycle times and lead times, new tools for tracking tariffs on specific components, new videos about the industry, and important changes in thinking about date codes and much more.

“After the supply chain disruptions following the pandemic, our members became painfully aware of how much confusion exists in the marketplace about components,” explained David Loftus, ECIA CEO and President. “ECIA is seizing this opportunity to communicate with customers in order to solve industry challenges that for too long have held back overall supply chain efficiencies that would be mutually beneficial.”

“One example is date codes,” added Don Elario, VP of Industry Practices. “With the current excess inventory situation, now is the perfect time to finally institute rational policies and processes to prevent perfectly good components from being destroyed because they are out of date. The science is clear, and we are reaching out engineer to engineer to help customers understand the evidence about the impact of shelf life on component performance.”
