Semiconductor Procurement Metrics Service

• Compare your prices to electronics industry prices for similar devices
•  Plan for the future
•  Understand pricing trends

Forward Visibility for Semiconductor Pricing and Availability
 
Production lines need assured supplies at predictable prices, but the semiconductor industry is a cyclical business.Semiconductor prices and availability swing rapidly in response to changes in supply and demand. 
 
Semico Research Corp. has developed a proven methodology for forecasting semiconductor prices and availability for up to eight rolling quarters. Information from the Semico Purchasing Metrics Service can help procurement keep production lines running with a steady supply of semiconductors purchased at the best contract pricing available.  
 
Information Provided

• Current semiconductor pricing data by semiconductor device type

• Quarterly semiconductor pricing forecasts by semiconductor device type

• Eight quarters of visibility for contract prices

• Semiconductor price trend data

• Compare ASP trend changes to forecasts

• Flexibility: Define the product families you need to track

Customization
 
The Semico Procurement Metrics Service can be tailored to provide information to meet a wide variety of needs. Metrics can be provided for some or all of the semiconduc-tor devices types listed in the right hand column. Metrics for other devices may be added, the type of information supplied can be altered or the Service can be adapted to meet special needs in numerous ways.
