Solution 03 · Lifecycle & Obsolescence

Supporting Supply Throughout the Product Lifecycle.

We support customers managing end-of-life components, product changes and long-term supply requirements. Through global sourcing, last-time-buy opportunities and alternative component sourcing, we help customers maintain access to critical parts throughout their product lifecycle.

01Scope

What the solution covers.

Support for end-of-life components and product changes - last-time-buy planning, long-term storage and alternative component sourcing.

  1. Lifecycle status & EOL support

    Lifecycle status and change notices reviewed for the parts you name, with support when a part reaches end of life.

  2. Last-time-buy planning

    Quantities calculated against forecast, risk and redesign timing.

  3. Long-term storage

    Stock held and conditioned for future release.

  4. Alternative component sourcing

    Potential alternatives identified for customer evaluation.

  5. Lifecycle risk

    Exposure assessed across a BOM, part by part.

  6. Obsolescence planning

    Mitigation defined before a notice becomes a problem.

  7. Inventory strategies

    Buffer and stored positions for at-risk parts.

  8. Supply continuity planning

    A documented plan for how critical parts can stay available.

02Approach

How it's delivered.

PRINCIPLE 01

Review

Lifecycle status and change notices reviewed for the parts that matter most.

PRINCIPLE 02

Assess

Risk prioritised by production impact, not by alphabet.

PRINCIPLE 03

Act

Last-time buys, storage and alternatives coordinated as one plan.

03Part of one architecture

Four solutions, one supply partner.
