  • Using Intelligence to Build a Resilient Supply Chain

    For the industry to continue being profitable and innovative, they have to create resilient supply chains. The high cost of redesigning parts and the delays in delivery due to unreasonable lead times are not sustainable. One of the ways of solving this problem is arming the design teams with supply chain intelligence.


    I’m your host, Steph Chavez, a Senior Product Marketing Manager with Siemens. I’m glad to be joined by Andre Mosley, Marketing Development Specialist with Siemens. Today, he’ll help us understand how arming designers with supply chain intelligence can help create a resilient supply chain.


    In this episode, you’ll learn what has caused supply chain problems in the printed circuit board industry. You’ll also hear about how manufacturers are responding to supply chain problems. Additionally, you’ll hear about some of the strategies that can help in building a resilient supply chain.


    What You’ll Learn in this Episode:

    • How intelligence enables supply chain resilience at the point of design (01:13)
    • How the supply chain challenges have evolved over time (03:58)
    • The impact that supply chain issues are having on manufacturers (07:30)
    • What the industry needs to do to create supply chain resilience (12:29)

    • Building a Resilient Supply Chain

      For manufacturers to maximize profits from new products, they need to shorten their time to market. This requires production systems to be ready as soon as the design gets its final approval. For most companies, this has been made impossible by supply chain disruptions which have increased the lead time for most components.


      I’m your host, Steph Chavez, a Senior Product Marketing Manager with Siemens. I’m glad to be joined by Matt Walsh, a Product Marketing Manager with Siemens EDA. He is responsible for all of their cloud solutions. Today, he’ll help us understand what manufacturers must do to build resilient supply chains.


      In this episode, you’ll learn about the supply chain challenges brought on by siloed systems. You’ll also learn how empowering engineers with sourcing intelligence can help them create viable designs faster, and you'll find out what is needed to create resilient supply chain systems.


      What You’ll Learn in this Episode:

      • The capabilities of a fully integrated supply chain solution (02:03)
      • The advantages of a fully integrated supply chain solution (04:19)
      • The key components that will help in building a resilient supply chain (07:52)
      • The impact of supply chain disruption (12:07)

      • Trends Across The Printed Circuit Engineering Industry

        The changes in the last three years have made companies rethink how they design and manufacture their products. While the remote working problem has been solved, the supply chain problem is getting bigger. To survive this new reality, businesses need to build resilient supply chains and empower their design engineers with supply chain intelligence.


        I’m your host, Steph Chavez, a Senior Product Marketing Manager with Siemens. I’m glad to be joined by Richard Barnett, Chief Marketing Officer with Supplyframe – a company that leads the Design-to-Source Intelligence platform for the global electronics value chain, with solutions that interpret billions of intent, demand, supply, and risk signals to deliver insights through the design-to-market product lifecycle. Today, he’ll help us understand the trends, challenges, and opportunities across the printed circuit engineering industry.


        In this episode, you’ll hear about the challenges that OEMs are facing as they digitalize their processes. You’ll also find out why companies need to empower design engineers with supply chain knowledge. Additionally, you’ll learn about the impact that parts supply lead time increases on manufacturers.


        What You’ll Learn in this Episode:

        • How existing organizational infrastructure is limiting the industry (00:41) 
        • The impact of eliminating silos without a tested alternative (06:47)
        • Why engineers need to be empowered with supply chain knowledge (11:01)
        • How increased materials lead times are affecting manufacturers (20:03)

        • Analyzing the Supply Chain Problems

          COVID might have slowed down, but its impact on the engineering field is still being felt through continued supply chain challenges. Organizations, big and small, have been forced to redesign, delay, and sometimes cancel profitable projects simply because they couldn’t find the necessary materials. Many companies are now overhauling their entire sourcing systems to create more resilient systems.


          I’m your host, Steph Chavez, a Senior Product Marketing Manager with Siemens. I’m glad to be joined by Chad Jackson, Chief Analyst and CEO of Lifecycle Insights, a company delivering research and thought leadership guidance to engineering executives. Chad leads the company’s research and thought leadership programs, attends and speaks at industry events, and reviews emerging technology solutions.


          In this episode, you’ll hear about the factors that have contributed to the disruption of supply chain systems over the last few years. You’ll also hear about what engineering teams are doing to navigate the new reality. Additionally, you’ll learn about the impact that supply chain problems are having on both small and big companies.


          What You’ll Learn in this Episode:

          • Factors that are causing supply chain problems (02:39)
          • The negative impact of siloed initiatives within the same organization (04:15)
          • How supply chain challenges are impacting design processes (07:33)
          • Why the smaller companies suffer more due to supply chain problems (11:57)
