Abstract :
Electronic microcircuit technology has evolved so rapidly that parts designed may become obsolete when production starts or during the production cycle. The authors explore methods to combat the parts obsolescence problem. They argue that the earlier in a program that obsolescence is treated, the greater the possibility that obsolescence will not become a problem.<>
