Life cycle Management
- Forecasting – predicting obsolescence risk or dates(frequency of obsolescence). We Use long-term forecasting while continuously monitoring the supply chain for precursors. Abandon the long-term forecast when precursors appear.
- Mitigation – minimizing the impact of the problem after it occurs using a set of reactive firefighting approaches.
- Planning - planning design refreshes based on forecasted obsolescence dates and technology insertion roadmaps in order to minimize part life cycle Management costs.
- Parts Chasing - Accurately provide the current status of the item.
Supply chain management solutions
- The Electronic Sourcing team analyses the sourcing network, identifis & selects the best source for a requirement.
- Authorized buying with COC.
- Direct Negotiation with the manufacturer.
- Connection with obsolete part stockist.
- Decision control to select a distributor.
- Alliance with Tier-1 suppliers for global procurement.
- Buying and planning linked to corporate commodity management.

- Manufacturing Feasibility Analysis includes Cost Analysis, Profit Analysis and Risk Analysis.
End-Of-Life ( EOL) & Change Management
- Technological changes become more rapid in all semiconductor devices.
- Our semiconductor and distributor partnership program continuously monitors the product roadmap to ensure that your product will not be affected by an obsolete part.
- Component Level End-Of-Life (EOL) study and reports.
- Obsolescence Management.
- Obsolete Part Inventory Support.
- Change Implementation Support.
Obsolescence forecasting and management
- Short-Term Obsolescence Forecasting by Observing the supply chain for precursors to the part’s discontinuance including parameters such as reduction in the number of sources, reduction in inventory levels, Part price increases and Announcements made by the part manufacturer.
- Long-Term Obsolescence solutions by Forecasting based on part attributes and/or data mining of the historical record performed prior to the appearance of any precursors to discontinuance.
