    EMS@C-Level 2022 Season, episode 4 - Daniel Schoenfelder, Head of Nexar Sales at Altium LLC.

    Daniel Schoenfelder, Head of Nexar Sales at Altium LLC, discusses the Electronic Design to Delivery Index (EDDI), a monthly report derived from data collected by Nexar’s platforms like Octopart and Ultium 365. He explains how the index tracks supply and demand signals for electronic components to help OEMs, EMS providers, and distributors navigate the current supply chain crisis. Schoenfelder notes that while the free high-level report is popular, there is significant demand for granular, real-time data and bespoke reporting tailored to specific bills of materials. He predicts that current supply chain constraints will persist for another 6 to 9 months, driven by intense sourcing activity and scarce inventory levels.
