Abstract :
This paper provides an overview on the problem of component obsolescence. It discusses typical influences and drivers of obsolescence during the through life support of complex electronic or long life systems. Obsolescence management planning requirements in support of the identified influences and drivers is presented. Simplified life cycle costing models are presented together with proposed supply and design related mitigation options.
