Component obsolescence is one of the most persistent supply chain challenges facing engineering, procurement and defence teams today. The decisions that follow an end of life notification, whether to commit to a lifetime buy, invest in long term storage, or pursue a redesign, carry significant cost and risk implications either way.
In Episode 22 of Force Tech Talk, Karen Salmon, Charlotte Hughes, Ben Savage and Eder return for another roundtable discussion, working through the questions that arrive most frequently from procurement and engineering teams managing obsolescence in regulated industries.
For questions about lifetime buy decisions, component traceability or long term storage, speak to the Force Technologies team directly.
