Texas A&M University research quantifies the value delivered by the authorized channel for components.
ECIA is proud to publish an updated study, "The Value Delivered by Authorized Channel Partners for Electronic Components", which delivers a model and value analysis of authorized distribution and independent manufacturers’ representatives for electronics component manufacturers. ECIA members and staff worked with a team of professors and graduate students from Texas A&M University’s Global Supply Chain Laboratory to conduct research and publish the new report. Texas A&M was selected for this project based on their ability to bring an independent perspective to the topic, the analytical capability they have developed with a highly recognized program dedicated to supply chain research, and their previous experience on the team conducting the original study.
The Report Foreword is available to all for reading. The full report and report summary are available to ECIA members only. Members can log in to view.

ECIA Remembers John Woodstock
The industry mourns the loss of John Woodstock, widely known for his work with Arrow Electronics and Woodstock Wire.
ECIA remembers John for his strong media and communications contributions in the electronics components industry. John was also an integral part of the creation and development of TrustedParts.com.
ECIA sends many condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
TrustedParts.com Introduces Detailed, On-Demand Factory Lead Time Reporting for ECIA Members
Obtaining electronic components is often simple. The TrustedParts.com electronic component search engine displays which authorized distributors have inventory on hand. Orders can be placed with those distributors, and the components may even ship on the same day.
However, for some electronic components, it’s not so easy. There may be high demand, limited or no inventory, and you must wait for the factory to produce more. That’s where factory lead time comes in, and TrustedParts.com now has reporting to help you plan for it. ECIA members are invited to take advantage of this new feature.
