How does SMT factory solve the current component shortage problem?

Even the best supply chain managers cannot completely insulate their PCBA processing operations from the impact of the current global shortage of electronic components. The simple fact is that there aren't enough components to go around, which means someone will have to give up their less urgent needs. More broadly, longer delivery times, missed deliveries and higher prices are inevitable. However, measures could be taken to minimize the problems caused by shortages.

Five suggestions for solving the current component shortage problem

1. Expand the breadth and depth of cooperation with component suppliers

It sounds obvious, but in these difficult times, the priority is to find a vendor that has the components you need. Only in this way can negotiations begin on delivery time and price. Finding suppliers can be time-consuming, of course, but the way we do it is by building a team of professional procurement engineers who work full-time with suppliers around the world to procure hard-to-find components. In this way, the difficulties of customers can be digested in advance, and the efficiency of SMT patch processing and customer satisfaction can be increased.

2. Order ahead of time

In the current situation, there is no place for tentative or conditional orders. Orders need to be placed well in advance of request - up to a year if possible - and there is no cancellation option. This may seem restrictive and will certainly require careful planning, but it is the only way to get a reasonably certain supply.

3. Manage priorities

It is unlikely that you will always get all the components you want. Therefore, it is important to carefully analyze and prioritize SMT patch requirements so that resources and effort can be focused on meeting priority project requirements ahead of time.

4. Reduce component loss

Review and refine work specifications more carefully than usual, especially when placing orders. Mistakes are easy to make, but in the current environment, correcting them can be costly, even if many materials become difficult to replace once worn out or prolong life. Therefore, we should pay special attention to quantity, delivery date and material number when producing online.

5. Respect suppliers

These are tough times for everyone associated with the SMT industry, and it's easy to understand why tempers can get a little frayed. But acting in a way that is disrespectful to suppliers is unlikely to encourage their support and could damage potentially useful relationships in the future.
