Adapt and recover quickly from disruptions through Risk Mitigation which often involves diversifying suppliers, having alternative suppliers or redundant systems in place. Through this you will be flexible, allowing quick adjustments to changes in demand. Resilience often involves improved visibility into the supply chain, allowing better monitoring and management of processes.
Obsolescence refers to the state of being outdated or no longer in use, usually because newer and more advanced technologies, methods or products have been introduced. It can be observed in domains such as technology, products and processes.
Technological obsolescence occurs when newer technologies surpass or replace ones making them less relevant or efficient.
Product obsolescence takes place when a specific item is no longer produced or supported by its manufacturer due to the introduction of newer models or technological advancements. This can make it challenging to find replacement parts or receive support, for the product.
Planned obsolescence is a strategy where manufacturers intentionally design products with a lifespan to encourage consumers to replace them frequently. While this approach stimulates sales it also raises environmental concerns.
Obsolescence management refers to the systematic approach and strategies implemented by organizations to mitigate the impact of obsolescence on their products, systems, or processes. The goal is to proactively address the challenges associated with the inevitable aging and discontinuation of components, technologies, or materials that are critical to the functioning of a product or system.
The Obsolescence Management Plan (OMP) can be seen as a way to mitigate the impact of obsolescence in organizations. According to the Standard IEC 62402:2019 Ed. 2, the content of an OMP is structured by the following key indicator:
a) Responsibilities and resources
b) Scope
c) Objectives
d) Data collection
e) Strategies to minimize obsolescence during the life cycle of the unit
f) Transfer of obsolescence management requirements along the supply chain
g) Monitoring and timing
h) Obsolescence management approach
i) Selection and implementation of corrective actions
j) Review of the plan
k) Performance of the plan
l) Tools used
