Both commercial and military organizations face end-of-life component issues. Today it seems almost impossible to get through design, test and into use before reaching end-of-life of a product's key components. Obsolescence can occur due to any number of factors. Market changes, technological advances, product expirations and reduced value to name a few.
Today's obsolescence management tools can mitigate some of the problems associated with these issues by: - Minimizing impacts of obsolescence to maximize your return on investment.
- Continuously monitoring product bill-of-materials (BOM's) to avoid costly redesigns due to component obsolescence.
- Reduction of impacts on product life cycle.
Ideally, obsolescence management should be enacted before Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Materials Shortages (DMSMS) begin to occur. LDSS will help integrate best practice systems in order to provide quick identification, documentation and resolution of availability problems. Typical features of these systems include:
- BOM management.
- Alert notification.
- Problem case tracking.
- Report generation.
- Cross platform solution sharing.
- Collaborative work environment.
LDSS offers an objective viewpoint based on decades of experience in warehouse operations and systems. Our company is dedicated to serving the best interest of the customer at all times, and makes recommendations based on industry best practices, not vendor commitments.
