Obsolescence Management
Manage Obsolescence Risk
The most common methods of the past for managing obsolete electronic components have entailed very manual or reactive processes that lead to chaos, human error, long lead times and excessive costs to the organization. The key to sustained profitability for effective and efficient obsolescence management is foresight and strategic process flow.
Risk Analysis & Obsolescence Forecasting
Mitigation
Manage the consequence of obsolescence events through a multitude of methods. Find stock, inventory, and pricing information on last time buys. Or easily find an alternate part that will that will slot into your design.
Planning
Minimize lifecycle costs by planning, by planning design refreshes based on forecasted obsolescence dates and technology insertion roadmaps. Set alerts for lifecycle changes, datasheet changes, manufacturer changes, and manufacturer acquisitions so that you’ll never be caught off-guard.

Proactive vs Reactive Approaches to Obsolescence Management
This whitepaper also illustrates the risks of using component lifecycle forecast data points from the component manufacturers themselves, versus using forecasts based on algorithmic & historical data points from independent electronic component databases. With the growth and sophistication of electronic components databases growing yearly, lifecycle forecasts, intelligent component procurement, and overall obsolescence mitigation are within reach of all OEMs.
