Obsolescence analysis also known as diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS) in the public sector impacts sustainment programs large and small.
Our staff supports DMSMS risk assessment, product analysis, and resolution on commercial derivative aircraft, C4 equipment, radar systems, and guided munitions using COTS software, e.g., RAC-SMART, Silicon Experts and QSTAR, and services like ILS-Mart. Our staff develops DMSMS case management tools enabling real-time system health reporting and cost estimating for future DMSMS events and likely resolutions.
Most importantly, we use the results of supportability analyses to create cost-effective equipment support strategies. We assist our clients in analyzing product support elements to develop plans and processes for Life Cycle Sustainment, Reliability, Availability, & Maintainability, DMSMS and Configuration Management enabling affordable system operational effectiveness.
