ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURERS SHARE EXCESS INVENTORY: PERZEPTRON CREATES FREE COMPONENT MARKETPLACE “Now is the time for the electronics industry to stick together,” say Andreas Koch and Markus Renner, managing directors of the consulting firm Perzeptron. With MiG Stock-DB, they have developed a free platform where electronics manufacturers can offer excess stock and components they no longer need. A+B Electronic, Eckelmann and Phytec, as well as other electronics companies, have already pledged their support and uploaded components for sale. Perzeptron is now calling on other companies to participate.
The MiG platform offers an automatic availability check which shows immediately which components represent a risk to production schedules and how they can be procured from an alternate source.

he purchasing departments of electronics manufacturers are faced with a procurement situation constrained by allocation and supply bottlenecks. Precious time, effort and money are lost due to the difficulty of procuring components, not to mention the customer dissatisfaction caused by late deliveries. At the same time, companies have a sizeable amount of capital tied up in excess inventory that they have accumulated due to large packaging units, production order cancellations, or for other reasons. Perzeptron’s MiG StockDB addresses both these challenges: Surplus component stock is entered in the database and offered for sale. Using the availability check feature of the MiG - Materials Management in Balance software, the parts inventory can be displayed, and direct contact can be made with the supplier.
