Parts obsolescence can occur at any stage of a product’s lifecycle. When components become unavailable due to technical, financial, and legal reasons, serious disruptions can occur, such as loss of production capacity, delayed product shipments, and increased product lifecycle costs. Accelerating advancements in technology and environmental regulations make it increasingly difficult to keep up with obsolescence management and ensure there are no oversights or errors in the process. Traditional methods, such as tracking spreadsheets and manual audits, are outdated, cumbersome, and unreliable.
Source Intelligence’s Obsolescence Management software reduces the burden by automating obsolescence management processes. Our platform features propriety technology that scans BOMs to evaluate end-of-life risks and identifies form-fit-function alternative parts and components. Our solution anticipates disruptions to your supply chain continuity and gives you the ability to address problems proactively, allowing your entire supply chain to run more efficiently.
Key features of our Obsolescence Management software:
Quickly analyze BOMs to identify obsolete parts and components, duplicate or incomplete part numbers, and company mergers or acquisitions that may impact production.
Easily identify upcoming end-of-life issues long before they cause costly problems. Maximize lead time for locating alternate sources, redesigning affected components, or making a last-time purchase.
Utilize components with lower obsolescence risk, such as parts with multiple sources or longer expected production lives, with our time-tested lifecycle predictions on manufacturer part numbers.
Streamline obsolescence management tasks, such as tracking critical components or finding alternatives for discontinued parts, and refocus internal resources on other parts of your business.
