Application of Commercial Parts Obsolescence Management (CPOM)

Abstract

Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems (Baltimore, Maryland) in cooperation with the AFRL Material and Manufacturing Directorate (WPAFB, Ohio) developed a 58-month ManTech obsolescence program to pursue a diverse group of tasks in various areas of parts obsolescence. The objective of the program was to reliably use COTS parts in military systems, implement ManTech funded tools and processes, integrate tools and processes in the Northrop Grumman design environment, and document the resulting cost avoidance. The program has completed its work with notable success. This succinct report highlights the results and benefits.
