Component Lifecycle & Obsolescence Management

Design, Production, and End‑of‑Life – Handled Before the Deadline Forces the Decision.

We take a proactive, data-driven approach to component lifecycle management, helping you reduce risk, control costs, and ensure long-term supply continuity across your entire BOM.

From Concept to End-of-Life

Every Stage of the Lifecycle, Covered

From initial concept to end-of-life, managing your product life cycle requires a supply chain partner you can count on.

We bring decades of experience working with product teams just like yours to ensure they have the parts they need, when they need them, at a price that doesn't break the bank.

Design – Plan for a Stronger Tomorrow

Components screened for long-term market availability, not just specification fit. Our vetted supplier network helps identify lifecycle risk before a part is locked into the BOM.

Production – Keep Supply in Sync

Stocking programs, scheduled deliveries, inventory management, and logistics sized to keep pace with demand.

Obsolescence + End-of-Life – Stay Ahead of What's Next

Forecasting for parts approaching end-of-life. Last-time-buy execution, continued access to legacy components for a defined period, or qualified replacements that meet your technical requirements.

Our Programs

Programs Built Around Your BOM

From early design to end-of-life management, we proactively address lifecycle changes so you have the components you need, when you need them.

Lifecycle Strategy Built Around Your Specific BOM

We tailor lifecycle management tools and strategy to your unique BOM requirements and mitigate the risks associated with component obsolescence.

Stocking Programs for the Parts That Gate Production

We maintain inventory of the specific parts that keep production moving, so you have what you need with minimal lead times.

Just-in-Time or Long-Term Storage

Whichever the economics favor – options that support production while optimizing your costs.

Last-Time-Buy Quantity & Coverage-Period Modeling

Data-driven last-time-buy quantities and coverage periods, so you secure what your roadmap needs before the window closes.

Featured Case Study

How a top electronics manufacturer survived the 2018 MLCC shortage

$1M+in MLCCs sourced in two months
0line-down events

When critical Kemet capacitors vanished from normal channels, we secured supply and helped engineering approve qualified alternates – and production never stopped.

How It Works
  1. BOM review

    Share your bill of materials. We screen every line for long-term market availability, not just specification fit.

  2. Lifecycle risk flagged

    We identify parts approaching end-of-life or facing shortage risk – before the deadline forces the decision.

  3. Plan chosen

    Last-time buy, a stocking program, or a qualified replacement that meets your technical requirements – whichever fits your roadmap and economics.

  4. Supply secured

    Parts are held, scheduled and delivered for the coverage period, so production keeps moving.

FAQ

Product Lifecycle Management FAQ

Have a question we didn't cover? Contact our team or call (877) 992-1930.

What happens when a part on my BOM goes end-of-life?

We forecast parts approaching end-of-life, then execute last-time buys, provide continued access to legacy components for a defined period, or find qualified replacements that meet your technical requirements.

How do you identify lifecycle risk during design?

We screen components for long-term market availability, not just specification fit. Our vetted supplier network helps identify lifecycle risk before a part is locked into your BOM.

How do you determine last-time-buy quantities?

We model last-time-buy quantities and coverage periods against your demand and roadmap, so you can secure the parts you need before supply ends. Need hard-to-find replacements? See our component sourcing services.

Can you review our bill of materials for lifecycle risk?

Yes. We build a lifecycle strategy around your specific BOM and help you identify where shortage and obsolescence risks live. Upload your BOM to get started.

Do you support products already in production?

Yes. Stocking programs, scheduled deliveries, inventory management and logistics are sized to keep pace with your demand.

Can you store parts for long-term programs?

We offer both just-in-time and long-term storage, whichever the economics favor, so you can support production while optimizing costs.
