Managing components and suppliers is more critical than ever as obsolescence, counterfeit and non-compliance risks continue to grow and can be categorized within two typical realms:
Proactive versus Reactive
Reactive approach to obsolescence management depends on taking action when a component event such as the release of a Product Discontinuance Notice (PDN) has already taken effort, informing the original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)of an impending engineering change in the component’s lifecycle. This approach is fraught with potential risk and late information becoming available to the OEM.
Proactive approach mainly focus on predicting component obsolescence prior to the issuance of the PDN. OEMs using a proactive approach to obsolescence management specifically assign risk grades to each component and have appropriate measures in place to deal with the lifecycle change of a component in the future.
