“…The market share of the military sectors in 2001 was less than 0,4% from a 316 billion USD semiconductor component market. [2,3] It is also clear from the literature that the transition from the military specifications (MIL-P-50884C and MIL-PRF-31032) to the commercially accepted standard (IPC-6013) [15] has had a considerable impact on the utilisation of commercial components instead of military specification components.…”

This article proposes a process to manage the problem of electronic component obsolescence from a military product support perspective. By assessing applicable literature as well as feedback and lessons learned from relevant support projects, a methodology for the management of component obsolescence is proposed. The aim of the research is to provide a definition of component obsolescence drivers and to formulate a process for the management of component obsolescence within a military electronic support environment. The process provides guidelines on how management activities can be optimised to reduce applicable obsolescence risks and thereby reducing related life cycle costs. OPSOMMINGHierdie artikel stel 'n proses voor hoe om die probleem van onbeskikbaarheid (uitgediendheid) van elektroniese komponente in die militêre steunomgewing te bestuur. Toepaslike literatuur asook terugvoer en lesse geleer uit toepaslike steunprojekte is ondersoek ten einde 'n proses voor te stel om die onbeskikbaarheid van elektroniese komponente te bestuur. Die doel van die navorsing is om drywers te identifiseer wat aanleiding gee tot onbeskikbaarheid van elektroniese komponente in die militêre steun omgewing en om 'n proses te bepaal om hierdie probleem en risiko's te bestuur. Die proses bied riglyne hoe bestuursaktiwiteite geoptimaliseer kan word om beskikbaarheidsprobleme te beperk en dus ook lewensikluskoste van elektroniese stelsels en projekte te verminder.

“…From a public policy standpoint, the study indicates that a shift to more global and common standards for electronic components could help improve the availability of components as well as minimise the component obsolescence problem (Condra, Anissipour, Mayfield and Pecht, 1997). It is also important to note that regulatory bodies and governments can also play a pivotal role by forcing firms to abandon outmoded technologies in a timely manner on safety grounds and for environmental protection (Bartels et al, 2012).…”

In the past two decades, technology obsolescence has become an increasingly common feature of the global economy, often precipitated by new technological breakthroughs and innovations.Although a number of companies persist with obsolete technologies until disaster strikes, our understanding of the dynamics of technology obsolescence and why some firms persist with obsolete technologies remains largely underexplored. This conceptual paper seeks to fills these gaps in our understanding by developing a four-domain framework to explicate the dynamics of technologies' obsolescence, which takes into account the components in determining different types of obsolescence. The framework articulates two types of life-cycle match and two types of life-cycle mismatch. The article also contributes to the literature by delineating an integrated framework of firm-specific and market-based factors which account for some firms' persistence with obsolete technologies. Amassing and utilising the latest information to update their technologies can help firms enhance their competitiveness. The wider implications of the analysis for public policy and directions for future research are examined.

In contrast, the automotive industry has to cope with the changes that occur when electronic components become obsolete within three to five years (Condra, 2015).…”
