VDMA 24903

Guideline for handling obsolescence in the mechanical and plant engineering sector

In accordance with existing obsolescence standards

Organizations that are successful in managing obsolescence are those that consider the impact of discontinuances and changes at all stages of the product life cycle (PLC).

Properly mitigate risk

Integrate existing systems (ERP / PLM)

Risk Analyses & Management Reports

All users have an up-to-date overview of the condition of their systems. Lifecycle forecasts and likelihoods at component level are automatically combined with individual impact factors on your products. In addition, suitable resolutions are proposed to overcome obsolescence issues and concerns.

Prevent unnecessary losses with early detection as well as proactive assessment and treatment of risk.

High quality data integration

External information from databases

Interface to Manufacturers and Suppliers

Customers can get the information they need, natively, in both modules of the Life Cycle Management (LCM) Client. The application takes advantage of end-to-end combination of existing enterprise software with world leading component database Z2Data as well as additional sources.
Optimize individual process flows with interfaces to internal and external data, all in one tool.

Improved case collaboration

Attach files

Build documentation

Leave feedback & personal knowledge

Each party involved knows exactly what and when something needs to be done, so that optimal results are achieved with consistent efficiency. With clear structures and comments, each step in the obsolescence solution finding process is tracked for full traceability and reduced lead times.

Full transparency and greater team satisfaction is guaranteed through automated workflows.

Trusted by companies all over the world from Europe to the United States within a wide range of industries as military, aerospace, rail, automotive, industrial to medical and many more.

What users say about us?

With all the information we need - from life cycle forecasts and environmental information, over alerts and changes, up to possible replacements - the well structured AMSYS LCM Client gives us the perfect framework including its individual customization for us, to proper plan redesigns and take the right decisions in an easy to use environment.

Global Manufacturer of Industrial Applications

We have always practiced obsolescence management, only these activities never used to be called that, nor were they managed and analyzed centrally. It was not always possible to utilise synergies in a profitable manner. Now with the AMSYS LCM Client, this works brilliantly.

European Railway Operator

With the AMSYS LCM Client, we are finally able to conduct and even automate our full scale life cycle risk assessment of our multiple level BOMs within a secure environment. The hassle of decentralized Excel spreadsheets is a thing of the past. Good decisions to guarantee supportability based on high quality information is our future.
