If you have a question about obsolescence you would like answered COG is here to help.

Component obsolescence continues to be an ever-growing problem
throughout the manufacturing industries. A strategic approach is
required to manage the issues and challenges of an increasingly volatile
component supply chain.
This workshop is intended to provide suggestions and ideas so that
delegates may formulate obsolescence and product life management
strategies appropriate to their own products, organisation and industry.
Topics to be covered will include:
● Terminology used
● Notification of Obsolescence
● Procurement Strategies
● Obsolescence in Design
● Obsolescence Monitoring Tools
This workshop is interactive, with delegates being prepared to discuss
and share their own experiences and approaches to Obsolescence
Management. Registrations can be made here
