Aurightec also offers flexible delivery terms, including Ex‑Works, FOB, and DAP, to match customer logistics preferences.
Electronic Component Sourcing — Frequently Asked Questions
What is electronic component sourcing?
Electronic component sourcing is the process of selecting, procuring, and managing the supply of components needed to manufacture electronic products — balancing quality, availability, and cost. Aurightec coordinates sourcing at Group level, with purchasing teams in Estonia, China, and Malaysia and a dedicated sourcing entity in China.
What is obsolescence management in electronics?
Obsolescence management anticipates and mitigates the discontinuation of electronic components. Aurightec combines lifecycle and last-time buy management, redesign and alternative component solutions, and excess and obsolete (E&O) stock management to keep production running when components reach end of life.
What is a last-time buy (LTB)?
A last-time buy is a final purchase of a component before its manufacturer discontinues it, sized to cover remaining production and service needs. Aurightec manages last-time buys as part of lifecycle sourcing, alongside redesign solutions and alternative sourcing strategies.
How does Aurightec achieve competitive BOM pricing?
BOM pricing is optimized by leveraging the entire procurement volume of the Group and through our dedicated sourcing organization in China, supported by Aurightec Shanghai. Direct sourcing from original manufacturers, long-term supplier partnerships, and value engineering reduce both component prices and total cost.
Can Aurightec source customized components?
Yes. We source and manage complex, customized components — including LCD modules, printed circuit boards (PCB), metal parts, and cable and harness assemblies — through an established and trusted supplier network.
How does Aurightec handle component shortages?
Robust, continuous purchasing processes mitigate the impact of component shortages, lead-time changes, and price fluctuations. Alternative component management, early supplier involvement, and redesign solutions maintain stable supply even in challenging market conditions.
