Blanket PO

Minimize spares ordering administrative effort

Cohu’s Spares Management team uses a systematic approach to analyze historical usage and consumption.  For new customers and newly installed platforms, we recommend high consumable items, and critical spares based on our database.  Spares quality can be assured with OEM only provided parts.

• Spares PO placed periodically with shipment based on your schedule and usage of critical spares

Blank PO will ensure:

• Minimum overall administrative time and cost to improve order efficiency
• Optimized spares inventory to ensure availability for your maintenance activities
• ”Correct” critical spares to be stored in-house to mitigate unscheduled test and handler down time and to minimize working capital

Customer Managed Inventory (CMI) Program

Offers 24 / 7 availability with zero response time designed to significantly improve system uptime

In a Customer Managed Inventory Program:

• Customer is responsible for the selection and ongoing management of spares set to meet their specific system configuration
• Conveniently stocked on-site for zero response time
• Annual contract with predictable, fixed payments

The spare parts in the Customer Managed inventory Program may only be used for part replacement on the covered equipment.  Additional items may be added during the program term at the current prorated annual pricing, pending availability.

To be eligible for participation in the Customer Managed Inventory Program, a valid parts repair program from Cohu must be in effect for the sites and systems covered for the full period of the program.  This may include any combination of coverage under Cohu’s warranty or a Cohu Parts Repair Program.
