We added a lifecycle alert step to procurement review for selected components with long lead time or limited sourcing channels. The update aims to reduce surprise redesign pressure during ramp.
Workflow scope
The alert check currently covers key MCUs, communication modules, power devices, and selected connectors with known lifecycle volatility.
Output format
Programs receive a simple status tag in review notes: stable, monitor, or action-required. When action is required, we include suggested alternates or timing recommendations for risk mitigation.
