ESOM Book and Research
The Defense Standardization Program Office publication DMSMS SD-22 sets the objectives for proactively managing obsolescence. ESOM SF-2.0 is a direct response to the challenges raised by these objectives and provides a defined framework for integrating obsolescence management into the heart of each system manufacturing program. Subject areas include:
• Redesign vs. Life of Type (LOT) buy
• DoD oversight of DMSMS
• Reactive vs. proactive obsolescence management
• Obsolescence as a Total Ownership Cost (TOC) element
• Component categorization and costing
• Long term storage of obsolete components
• Commercial risk mitigation for obsolete products
• A strategic framework for integrating obsolescence into the system program plan
The comprehensive ESOM plan provides a unified approach to obsolescence management that enables end customers, system manufacturers, and component manufacturers to deliver long-term component supply for high reliability systems.
