Produce safely. Plan for the long term.
Obsolescence management helps with this. Here, sources of disruption are identified and evaluated, and strategies are developed to avoid them.
Proactive OM
In the proactive case, the focus is on identifying risks early on and planning systematically before a problem arises.
Reactive OM
Action is taken when a component or product is no longer available, which means only when a problem arises.
The combination
This combination makes it possible to minimize risks and respond flexibly and quickly to bottlenecks or failures.
Production downtime, delivery bottlenecks and potential contractual penalties.
The worst-case scenario when obsolete parts are used without sufficient preparation.

Proactive and reactive obsolescence management for
Nord-Micro GmbH & KG in the aviation industry
Problem
Nord-Micro had an initial structured process for obsolescence management, but it was incomplete.
There was no overview of all discontinued components, nor was there an early warning system based on risk management.
The risks of production downtime, expensive replacements, and a lack of repair options were high.
There was no software available to monitor product structures holistically.
Solution
Structured collaboration has enabled the establishment of a comprehensive obsolescence management system.
All relevant components are now monitored, strategically evaluated, and secured through clear processes.
The customer is now able to respond to discontinuations at an early stage with predictable decisions and clear transparency.

Questions & Answers
What is reactive and proactive obsolescence management (OM)?
Reactive OM involves all processes that are carried out when knowledge of a discontinuation is available.
Proactive OM, on the other hand, revolves around measures that are taken before a discontinuation occurs. From risk management to modular product design.
Is obsolescence even relevant for my business?
Yes – especially in times of rising costs, resource scarcity, and pressure to be efficient. Obsolescence affects not only technology, but also processes, systems, and expertise. Analyzing where risks arise in good time can help avoid production downtime, unnecessary investments, or supply bottlenecks. Whether you are an SME or a large corporation, proactive obsolescence management ensures competitiveness.
Which consulting service is right for my situation?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question – which is precisely why we offer a no-obligation introductory meeting. Every company is at a different stage. Some start from scratch without any structures in place and first need a thorough analysis and strategic classification. Others have already implemented initial measures and need support with risk assessment or concrete action planning. Still others have an existing system and want to optimize it in a targeted manner, for example through training, tool selection, or structured processes. Our approach is deliberately individualized and geared exclusively to your actual needs.
How high are potential investments in consulting?
The costs depend on the scope of the project, the objectives, and the internal effort involved. Initial consulting packages start at around €4,000, while larger projects range from low to mid five figures, depending on their depth. Our goal: a return on investment that clearly pays off through reduced risks and greater predictability.
Why Dominik Göttler Consulting GmbH?
Because we don't see obsolescence as a purely technical issue, but as a strategic management task. With many years of practical experience, a systematic approach, and a network of experts, we help companies to become resilient. Practical, measurable, and with a focus on sustainable results.
