| Incoming inspection blues |
 Yet another reason why you MUST have an incoming inspection process in place for your RoHS conversion: Quiz: You are a overseas component manufacturer. Your warehouse is full of leaded parts. All of your customers are demanding lead free versions of your parts.
Pulling a product from the shelves or banning it from a market due to non-compliance could be as minor as losing one contract among many for companies with a huge customer base. For many others, however, it may mean the difference between survival and bankruptcy -- particularly if the company has bet the bank on hitting a market window. Quiz: Do you (a) scrap your leaded parts, and lose business because you lack inventory of lead free parts, or (b) accidentally "mis-label" the leaded parts and keep the revenue flowing?
Add to that companies that have not changed parts numbers and mixed up the parts in the supply chain when some non-compliant parts were returned -- something that has happened regularly throughout the electronics industry -- and the problem becomes even tougher to sort out.
