Alternate Selection and Qualification – Second/Multiple Sourcing

 

Tachus Technologies' new flagship product, TOMSuite™, is a SaaS software application that has both strategic and tactical significance when it comes to executing Product Change Notification (PCN) and Obsolescence Management for electronic components. TOMSuite™ allows program management teams from small, medium and large enterprises to better manage their PLM curves.

 

Tachus Technologies also offers a variety of component engineering services that fully support and compliment current  Product Data Management (PDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) initiatives. In fact, we'll team with your engineering staff to provide support and assistance in the part selection process during prototype and design stages --- and we're also with you during production and post-production PLM phases! We'll then manage the new product data and even support your complete product development process. Our valuable alternate selection and qualification service allows commodity and/or procurement managers to analyze their spend more efficiently in order to realize lower cost of materials and services at all stages of the product lifecycle.

 

And when it comes right down to supporting their flagship product lines and achieving key cost, quality and efficiency polestars, it is absolutely essential that companies mitigate the risks of supply-chain disruptions by maximizing their component sourcing options. Why? Product lifecycles are distinctly different for relatively short-life consumer products versus long-life infrastructure and mission-critical systems (Defense, Public-Safety & Utilities for example). Add in the fact that commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components are utilized for both types, which places more obsolescence pressures on the longer-life systems. Tachus also understands that some electronic and mechanical components are often sole-sourced by virtue of their design constraints and the unique aspects of the marketplace, business and operational environments, like Defense, Public-Safety and Utilities.

 

Look to Tachus Technologies to help you formulate and then crystalize robust electronic and mechanical component sourcing strategies as part of an overall best-practice component procurement and obsolescence management program.
