    Most OEM engineering teams sense when their electronics supplier relationship could be better.

    The warning signs are familiar: more ECOs during ramp-up, more re-work, and slower qualification cycles.

    But it’s hard to know exactly where the gaps are, or how significant they are, without a structured way to look at it.

    That’s what this is for.

    We’ve put together a short self-assessment — 12 questions, 5 minutes — that helps OEM teams evaluate the readiness of their electronics sourcing model across five dimensions:

    – Co-engineering and DFM/DFT involvement

    – Production flexibility and multi-series capability

    – Quality discipline and traceability

    – Component lifecycle and obsolescence management

    – Supply chain stability and partner dependency

    You get an instant score and a clear picture of where your model stands: Reactive, Evolving or Strategic — with practical guidance for each level.
