What is it?
Obsolescence considerations are essential to prevent costly redesigns or lifetime inventory buys. By properly addressing obsolescence issues, your organization will have a higher probability of being able to continue the manufacture of current products/system, or to repair/replace existing items already in customers’ possession.
What’s the payoff?
The analysis helps determine all potential causes of undesirable top-level events and can quantify the probability of event occurrences. It provides an efficient approach to focus on a selected subset of critical faults from all possible sources that can cause catastrophic failures.
How can we help?
- Design a company process to track the availability status of the parts/materials that you use
- Assess the status of parts/materials used in your design or processes
- Develop strategic component obsolescence plans that include lifetime buys, multiple circuit emulation (for electronic products/systems), and part/material substitution
- Help design, develop and implement “form, fit and function” replacement items and documentation to work around obsolete parts/materials issues and incorporate technology upgrades
- Add obsolescence management capabilities to internal parts/materials management databases
