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. The cause?
1
Poor data quality
Unreliable or outdated data prevents early detection of risks. This delays decisions or leads to wrong decisions being made.
2
Lack of overview of parts
Without a complete parts overview, critical end-of-life products are overlooked. This leads to unplanned production stoppages.
3
No risk management
Without systematic risk management, obsolescence risks remain undetected. Preventive measures cannot be implemented.
4
No suitable software
Without the right tools, monitoring components is tedious and error-prone. Important warnings can easily be overlooked.

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.
