EMSNOW with ECIA on the topic of Lead Times

EMSNOW speaks with David Loftus, President and CEO of the Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA) to help component customers better understand the nuances of lead times. Now that we are a few years past the supply chain disruptions from the pandemic, it’s a good time to reflect on what happened and what lessons were learned.

The leadership of the ECIA – comprising component manufacturers, their distributors and the independent sales reps – is committed to educating the industry on why there were so many false signals and miscommunication about inventory, especially semiconductors, and how the component channel has responded to build resiliency into the supply chain. It’s a fascinating, must hear conversation with an industry expert who has a deep understanding of semiconductors. Listen in.
