There are several key factors to ensuring the best possible outcome for BOM approval and part purchasing; but the most important is for the designer to have access to critical component data when they are designing, preferably within their design tool. With supply chain knowledge readily available, they can make the correct decisions at the beginning of their design cycle to ensure a lower risk of incurring unexpected costs and achieve a smoother product release schedule. With CIP, you can leverage supply chain and purchasing information from distributors directly in your ECAD environment. This integration enables designers to analyze critical data throughout their design process to create an orderable, supply chain compliant BOM upfront. CIP analyzes the components in your OrCAD X Capture schematics, BOMs, or your entire component database with: f Integrated Part Research f Automatic Database Updates f Real-time supply chain and purchasing information f Direct access in your ECAD environment f Component Risk Analysis f Alternate Components or Crosses f Streamlined New Part Introduction Process By creating a centralized repository of reliable components for all team members with CIP, you can ensure any component selected for a design is purchasable and adheres to your company's requirements.
