Obsolescence Management for Structural, Mechanical, and Electrical Items in Conjunction with Electronics
Abstract
Department of Defense programs have traditionally focused their obsolescence management efforts on electronic items. This presentation will: (1) discuss how obsolescence mechanisms apply to non-electronic items; (2) describe the types of questions and decisions that a program will face in determining when to start and to what extent to apply obsolescence management to non-electronic items in a budget constrained environment; and (3) present a framework for a risk-based approach for identifying which items are of most potential concern.
