 COG Workshop

Holiday Inn
Stratford upon Avon, UK

14 January 2009

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
