Where do you get your PCN information
The Main PCN information source is from component manufacturers, either by receiving direct feed or capturing PCN documents from manufacturers websites.
How do you calculate risk? What factors are your risk algorithms built around?
There are four risk factors that our algorithms rely on when calculating overall risk of a given PN (Lifecycle, Multisourcing, Inventory, Enviornmental).
