“…In particular Meyer, et al, proposed a model, to develop an obsolescence mitigation timeline for the life support of complex electronics or long life systems. They noted that an approach to obsolescence management that covers all aspects of the product life cycle from Design, production to in-service operational support and end of life phase out, is essential to ensure the lowest-cost solution for customers, suppliers and OEMs (Meyer, et al, 2004). In a similar way Cuculoski focused on the obsolescence management strategy, which must be flexible, versatile and be able to offer multiple paths to achieve the ultimate goal.…”

“…Software could be also seen as a service for the user as many companies like for example Apple or Virgin Media can update the software or firmware of a system in order to keep it updated and "fresh". These aspects would obviously impact on commercial and industrial related markets all over the world and it affects system availability, maintainability and supportability (Meyer, et al, 2004).…”

Abstract:We are currently living in a decade where smart objects and Internet of Things (IoT)-based devices are becoming part of daily life in different contexts. This research seeks to investigate and verify, by using a formal literature review methodology, the most visible aspects of technological development, within the Industry 4.0 and IoT scenario, in relation to the theories of the so called "Planned Obsolescence". This study covers a defined number of works on Design theories and practices on how to face the issue of built-in obsolescence of devices in the era of the Connected Devices. The majority of the works studied are useful to create substrates of essential knowledge that strengthen the concept of premature ageing of technological devices and it has been noticed that the discipline of Design can be used as an incentive to extend life, improve the usability of existing products and empower user abilities.

“…Several obsolescence forecasting methods can be used as input to MOCA (Gravier and Swartz, 2009;Henke and Lai, 1997;Josias and Terpenny, 2004;Meixell and Wu, 2001;Meyer et al, 2004;Solomon et al, 2000;Sandborn et al, 2007;Sandborn et al, 2010;Wu et al, 2006). Obsolescence forecasts for electronic components are also available from several commercial sources.…”

Strategic management of component obsolescence using constraint-driven design refresh planning

Technology obsolescence also known as diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS) is a significant problem for systems whose operational life is much longer than the procurement lifetimes of their constitute components. The most severely affected systems are sustainment-dominated, which means their long-term sustainment (lifecycle) costs significantly exceed the procurement cost of the system. Unlike high-volume commercial products, these sustainment-dominated systems may require design refreshes to simply remain manufacturable and supportable. Design refresh planning (DRP) is a strategic method for reducing the lifecycle cost impact of DMSMS and increasing system availability. The objective of DRP is to determine when a design refresh should occur (or what the frequency of refreshes should be) and how to manage the system components that are obsolete or soon to be obsolete at the design refreshes. This paper describes the formulation and implementation of constraints in the DRP process for systems impacted by DMSMS type obsolescence and proposes a method of transforming an implicit system limitation into an explicit DRP constraint. These constraints can reflect technology roadmap requirements, obsolescence management realities, logistics limitations, budget limitations and management policy.
