Demand review
Required quantity, consumption horizon and target dates are defined.
EOL COMPONENTS
Plan last-time-buy and EOL sourcing with full MPN control.
End-of-life sourcing combines lifecycle verification, remaining demand, package and suffix control, date-code requirements and alternative planning. The available path must be confirmed for each project.
Order-code verification
Package, suffix, temperature and qualification level are checked.
Continuity planning
Potential last-buy, extended sourcing or alternative options are compared.
