Determining Optimum Redesign Plans for Avionics Based on Electronic Part Obsolescence Forecasts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many electronic parts have life cycles that are shorter than the life cycle of the product they are in. Life cycle mismatches caused by the obsolescence of electronic parts can result in significantly sustainment costs for long life systems. In particular, avionics often encounters part obsolescence problems before being fielded and nearly always experience part obsolescence problems during their field life. This paper presents a methodology for determining the optimum design refresh (redesign) schedule for long field life electronic systems based on forecasted electronic part obsolescence and a mix of obsolescence mitigation approaches ranging from lifetime buys to part substitution.

Obsolescence Driven Design Refresh Planning for Sustainment- Dominated Systems
Many technologies have lifecycles that are shorter than the lifecycle of the product they are in. Lifecycle mismatches caused by the obsolescence of technology (and particularly the obsolescence of electronic parts) results in high sustainment costs for long field life systems, e.g., avionics and military systems. This paper presents a methodology for performing optimum design refresh planning ...

متن کاملDesigning for Technology Obsolescence Management
Many types of products that have to be manufactured and supported for long periods of time lack control over critical parts of their supply chain, e.g., avionics, telecom infrastructure, and industrial controls. As a result, the components and technologies that these products depend on become obsolete long before the product’s field life (and sometimes even manufacturing life) ends. Obsolescenc...
