DH electronics: Obsolescence Management

Obsolescence management refers to a structured process that investigates and reduces the effects of obsolescence at an early stage. This can prevent negative consequences of product discontinuations such as supply bottlenecks or price increases. We cover various aspects of Obsolescence Management:

Strategic Obsolescence Management

product development with long-term available components
early development of alternative designs
analysis of the availability of components already in the development process
selection and qualification of second sources
management of inventories in close coordination with our manufacturing partner BMK in Augsburg

Proactive Obsolescence Management

constantly updated own component database
search options in other component databases, e.g. from our EMS partner
component monitoring based on databases
Lifecycle analysis of parts lists
availability forecasts of components
identification and evaluation of procurement risks
direct information gathering from manufacturers
Product Change Notification Management (PCN)
End-of-Life-Management (EOL)
securing the all-time demand of discontinued components
stockpiling and long-term storage with preservation measures
long-term programs for components

Reactive Obsolescence Management

Last Time Buy
redesign and requalification of assemblies based on current components
procurement via brokers (only in exceptional cases)
determination of possible alternative components, substitution

You are looking for an individual embedded solution?

We can help!

Thanks to our modular system, we can develop individual embedded solutions quickly, easily and cost-effectively. Especially for Human Machine Interfaces and IoT Gateways we use existing components and thus enable a short time-to-market for individual developments.
