  • The Segmentation Logic: We do not treat all parts equally. Defining the four strategies based on the material nature:
    • Class A (Strategic/High Value): Processors, Custom PCBs, Connectors. Strategy: Contract negotiation, safety stock agreements, direct manufacturer relationships.
    • Class B (Mid-Range): Standard ICs, FETs. Strategy: Franchise distribution, bonding.
