    BOM Health Definitions

    Here's the type of information you will be able to process using BOM Health (and more)!

    Below are definitions for the primary terms used in both the summarized data and the master list data by CQ when understanding the BOM Health data.

    Summarized Data

    • BOM Lines: this is the approved manufacturer list (AML) where the end customer has approved one or more manufacturer part numbers (MPN) with the same form/fit/function.
    • MPNs: this is the sum total of distinct MPNs on the BOM
    • MPNs with no results: after querying the 30+ suppliers who are integrated within the CQ ecosystem, this is the sum total of distinct MPNs with no responses from any supplier.
    • Unique Manufacturers (MFGRs): the sum total of distinct MFGRs on the BOM
    • Earliest Delivery Date: based on lead times provided by the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem, this is the earliest date when all MPNs can be received. Note: BOM Health is excluding current stock levels from the suppliers because of the volatility of component availability.
    • Line Risk: the count of BOM Lines within a high/mid/low risk score based on lifecycle, component availability, lead time, number of supplier sources, and reported component on order status. BOM Health will use the best MPN risk score to report on the line.
      • High: less than -50
      • Mid: between -26 and -50
      • Low: greater than -25
    • MPN Risk: the count of MPNs within a high/mid/low risk score based on lifecycle, component availability, lead time, number of supplier sources, and reported component on order status.
      • High: less than -50
      • Mid: between -26 and -50
      • Low: greater than -25
    • Lifecycle Status: pulled from 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem, BOM health uses the furthest response within the MPN life cycle. As an example, if 10 suppliers report the MPN as active and 1 reports the MPN as not recommended for new design (NRND), BOM health will report NRND.
    • Stock Levels: after summing the in-stock quantity from the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem, BOM health will respond with a tier rank. Please reference the example below:
      • Tier 1: 1-9 pcs in stock
      • Tier 2: 10-99 pcs in stock
      • Tier 3: 100-999 pcs in stock
      • Tier 4: 1000-9999 pcs in stock
      • Tier 5: 10000-99999 pcs in stock
      • Tier 6: 100000-999999 pcs in stock
      • Tier 7: 1000000-9999999 pcs in stock
      • Tier 8: 10000000-999999999 pcs in stock
    • NCNR: similar to lifecycle, BOM health reports the worst possible response from the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem. If one or more suppliers report the MPN as NCNR is yes, BOM Health will show a “yes”.
    • Lead Time: lead time is pulled from the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem and is reported in calendar days within BOM Health. The value shown in BOM Health is the minimum lead time from the suppliers.

      Master List Data

      • Line Risk Score: after scoring all the MPNs on the BOM line, the line risk is the best MPN risk score based on lifecycle, component availability, lead time, number of supplier sources, and reported component on order status.
        • High: less than -50
        • Mid: between -26 and -50
        • Low: greater than -25
      • MPN Cross Score: based on the original MPN, this is the highest-scored MPN from 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem using a string algorithm known as the Jaro-Winkler algorithm .
      • Lifecycle Status: pulled from 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem, BOM health uses the furthest response within the MPN life cycle. As an example, if 10 suppliers report the MPN as active and 1 reports the MPN as not recommended for new design (NRND), BOM health will report NRND.
      • Suppliers with Stock: of the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem, the count of distinct suppliers with stock available.
      • Projected Stock: the sum of the stock reported to be available from 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem.
      • Stock Levels: after summing the in-stock from the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem, BOM health will respond with a tier rank. Please reference the example below:
        • Tier 1: 1-9 pcs in stock
        • Tier 2: 10-99 pcs in stock
        • Tier 3: 100-999 pcs in stock
        • Tier 4: 1000-9999 pcs in stock
      • Possible Crosses: the count of possible crosses provided by the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem.

      • Min Lead Time: lead time is pulled from the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem and is reported in calendar days within BOM Health. The value shown in BOM Health is the minimum lead time from the suppliers.

      • Max Lead Time: lead time is pulled from the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem and is reported in calendar days within BOM Health. The value shown in BOM Health is the maximum lead time from the suppliers.

      • On Order QTY: of the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem, this is the summed-on order QTY from the suppliers.

      • On Order ETA: of the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem, this is the minimum date (or earliest delivery) reported by the suppliers.

      • Country of Origin: first country of origin response from the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem.

      • Region: first region response from the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem.

      • RoHS: similar to lifecycle, BOM health reports the worst possible response from the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem. If one or more suppliers report the MPN as RoHS is no, BOM Health will show a “no”.

      • NCNR: similar to lifecycle, BOM health reports the worst possible response from the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem. If one or more suppliers report the MPN as NCNR is yes, BOM Health will show a “yes”.

      • Packaging: first packaging response from the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem.

      • MPN Risk Score: the MPN risk score is based on lifecycle, component availability, lead time, number of supplier sources, and reported component on order status.

        • High: less than -50
        • Mid: between -26 and -50
        • Low: greater than -25
      • Updated on: this is the last time new data was requested for the MPN from the 30+ suppliers within the CQ ecosystem.
      • Total Searches: The cumulative count of searches conducted by all users of CQ within the last 60 days.
      • Total Client Searches: The number of CQ customer who has searched this MPN within the last 60 days.
