To provide technical expertise and support:
-
The scope of work includes activities related to identifying, assessing, and managing the risks associated with the obsolescence of components used in Thales products- The Component and Obsolescence Monitoring Engineers are expected to monitor the lifecycle of components, forecast potential obsolescence issues, and implement effective strategies to mitigate these risks
-
To ensure continuous availability of critical components for Thales products-
-
To proactively manage and mitigate risks related to component obsolescence-
-
To maintain a high level of product reliability and performance
-
Be accountable for the validation of selected components on our different project and provide feedback where applicable-
-
BOM Scrub: Analysis of BOMs (Bill of Materials), Proactive BOM Scrubbing and Risk Assessment
-
Alert Monitoring: Analyse all obsolescence notifications (PDNs, PCNs, Obsolescence Alerts) from providers and any other sources to identify potential alternate components
-
Continuously monitor alerts related to component obsolescence and input them into the Component Database
-
Evaluate the impact of alerts at the Part, BOM, Assembly, Product/ Unit level, tracking and reporting frequency and severity
-
Suggest alternative components when suitable solution already exists in the Thales preferred parts list, or already exists in the Thales component library- Find the best component solution with the designer and the purchase who respect components strategies
-
Prepare regular reports on alert status and impact, highlighting significant findings and trends
-
Identify Obsolescence and other issues and provide replacement/alternative parts/components to meet project/customer reliability, safety and legislative requirements
