Unlock Hidden Data with Suffix

1 February 2025 · 2 min read

A suffix in a Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) is more than just an additional code that provides details about a component’s packaging or version; it also contains design-related parameters. Using Lexi’s Suffix Management, we provide visibility into the fundamentals of MPNs, AMLs, PMLs, and other hidden data. With this information, you can elevate your cost management, risk assessment, and compliance.

Lexi’s Suffix Cleaning service enhances data visibility for each component, improving monitoring, increasing risk resilience, and ensuring compliance. With over 1 billion MPNs globally and new numbers constantly being added or reclassified, ensuring their suffix accuracy is critical.

If the MPN is incorrect, your parts may not meet specifications, leading to production recalls, widespread failure, functionality issues, or understanding if they are obsolete.

With complete suffix information, Lexi bridges the gaps in your obsolescence management. You will have access to comprehensive lifecycle information, including years to end-of-life and component change notifications.

We integrate this data into our obsolescence management module to alert you proactively about components nearing end-of-life, upcoming changes, or discontinued parts. This ensures you are always informed and can take action before potential disruptions occur. By using Lexi’s platform, you are able to secure your product supply chain, enhance risk resilience, and strengthen compliance.
