Monthly status Status scale1 Stable: normal lead times, predictable supply.
2 Watch: early signals such as rising prices or stretching in some families. Monitor.
3 Alert: lead times stretching or selective allocation. Check exposed parts on your BOM.
4 Critical: broad allocation or severe extension. Plan around constraint.
The status is the analyst’s judgment, informed by the sources. It is not a formula.
