What is Real-Time Supply Chain Analysis?

Supply chain analysis in PCB design involves evaluating and managing the sourcing, availability, cost, and lead time of components and materials required for the PCB. Real-time supply chain analysis aims to optimize the design for reliability and manufacturability while minimizing potential risks in procurement, such as component shortages or unexpected cost fluctuations, during the schematic design process to keep PCB production on track.

Real-Time Supply Chain Analysis with LiveBOM in OrCAD X

LiveBOM in OrCAD X Capture provides a real-time supply chain analysis for components in the schematic design. This enables designers to consider critical information during part selection and schematic creation, make informed part decisions, and adjust any components before moving to the PCB layout. LiveBOM provides real-time supply chain data from SourcEngine allowing you to analyze:
  • Component risk
  • Availability
  • Lead time
  • Pricing information
  • Component Lifecycle
  • Alternate Sourcing
  • Component Crosses
  • Compliance and Regulatory Data
  • Forecasting Trends and Part History
Optimize part selection for your PCB designs to reduce costs, keep production on track, increase design longevity, and ensure part availability by analyzing real-time supply chain information directly in OrCAD X Capture with LiveBOM.

Key Features for Real-Time Supply Chain Analysis with OrCAD X

OrCAD X contains the functionality you need to perform real-time supply chain analysis efficiently.
BOM Health Asssessment
LiveBOM performs an automatic assessment of your schematic BOM health with an overall BOM health grade as well as analysis of component availability and overall design risk.
Alternate Sourcing
Easily find alternate components or crosses for parts that are high-risk, obsolete, or unavailable. LiveBOM automatically identifies alternate components and provides the critical information required for you to make informed part decisions including the differences compared to the original component, inventory, price, lead time, and parametric information.
Component Risk
Determine the risk for components in your design. LiveBOM allows you to analyze compliance, design risk, and component lifecycle to quickly determine if parts are Active, End of Life, Obsolete, not recommended for new designs (NRND), etc. to make informed part decisions and extended the longevity of your product.
Integrated Supply Chain Analysis
With LiveBOM, supply chain analysis occurs directly in OrCAD X allowing you to achieve a seamless flow between component selection, schematic creation, and component analysis. This integration will verify the components in your schematic before purchasing directly in your CAD tool, eliminating the need to use external sources and streamlining part procurement.
Forecasting Trends
Analyze forecasting trends for inventory change, lead time, price change, and market availability to guarantee part sourcing and cost for the entire product lifecycle. Easily include historical data to obtain a comprehensive view of the component risk and stability.
Real-Time Purchasing Data
Analyze if components will be available for purchase before production and for the duration of the product lifecycle with the ability to analyze availability, inventory, pricing information, lead time, and more upfront during the schematic creation.
