Obsolescence management is concerned with preparing for and managing the ageing of products. In this way, the life cycle of a product, which is largely dependent on the maintenance options provided and the availability of certain spare parts, can be effectively extended. As part of obsolescence management in special vehicle construction, the aim is to ensure that even if components are discontinued, they can still be reliably maintained and serviced, for example for special military vehicles. For example, suitable replacement components are organized in good time or the discontinued elements are stockpiled accordingly. This allows the product life cycle to be extended as long as possible and minimizes downtime.
Optimize obsolescence management with modern technology
Proactive obsolescence management plays a decisive role in the reliability of special vehicles for the military, public safety organizations and other areas. Modern manufacturing methods, such as reverse engineering, make a significant contribution to this process, especially in maintaining older vehicles in the long term. Using reverse engineering or redesign thanks to data collected via the CAD process, spare parts can be manufactured and supplied reliably and precisely. This applies even if the original parts are no longer produced by the manufacturer. Particularly in the military sector, the production of special parts ensures the seamless availability of required components. Accordingly, obsolescence management is also of great importance to Norrenbrock Technik. With certified quality management, we safeguard and strengthen the condition of ageing products across all sectors.
