This event is for electronics OEM professionals working in OEM companies. Even if you cannot attend this event sign up anyway and we'll send you the slide deck.

This narrow scope, in-depth webinar focuses on excess materials and obsolete materials management strategy and best practices for electronics OEM decision makers.

When are materials for an OEM program deemed obsolete? How do specific changes in product BOMs impact obsolete or excess materials? What triggers do EMS providers prefer to use to signal when customers will begin incurring holding costs, and how much? OEMs and EMS providers working together both want to limit their exposure to materials liability. But who takes materials ownership depends on what happens in different scenarios and is based on how clauses are written in the OEM-EMS contract service agreement.

Speaker Mark Zetter shares best practices and terms, key figures and percentages (v. common in industry) for workable solutions all based on aggregate data and years of experience speaking with electronics OEM materials purchasing management professionals and working with contract electronics solutions providers. This live, 30-minute event covers excess electronics materials and obsolete materials management strategies for electronics OEM decision makers seeking contract electronics manufacturing services or already engaged in and managing their electronics manufacturing services (EMS) providers.

  • Excess v. obsolete material
  • Period use defining excess material v. forecast
  • Excess material holding fees by EMS provider
  • Use of excess material
  • Pricing of excess material
  • NCNR (non-cancelable or non-returnable)
