DFSC (Design for Supply Chain) “Risk Management Analysis”

Managing components and suppliers is more critical than ever as obsolescence, counterfeit and non-compliance risks continue to grow and can be categorized within two distinct realms:

Proactive versus Reactive​

Reactive approach to obsolescence management relies on taking action once a component event such as the release of a Product Discontinuance Notice (PDN) has already occurred, advising the OEM of an impending change in the component’s lifecycle. This approach is fraught with potential error and late information becoming available to the OEM.​

Proactive approach focus on predicting component obsolescence prior to the issuance of the PDN. OEMs using a proactive approach to obsolescence management assign risk grades to each component and have appropriate measures in place to deal with the lifecycle change of a component in the future.
