That an Engineer should know when designing in a new electronic component.
As an Engineer you already know that first step is getting the right component that allows your circuit to run. Then you look for cost and delivery. Why are you looking at cost should it not be value? What is it you look for in delivery? How fast can you get a part for the first prototype run and are you looking for stock in a distributor. When they have stock does it make you feel like it is a standard component? Has the distributor told you that standard lead time is just in case they out for stock? Next time you design in a component, check with your buyer on what suppliers that can be trusted in getting solid information for you. It makes a great difference for the design stage into a 3 year production phase. The buyers are professional when it comes to know that player can be trusted.
