Innovation is one of the key levers for a more sustainable future, as we move away from carbon-based energy and materials, but innovation brings its own jeopardy as end users find that recently purchased assets are hit by the obsolescence of last year’s new components.
It has never been clearer that good obsolescence management practice is going to be essential for sustainability, and that obsolescence must be managed at all phases of product life cycle, and throughout the supply chain.
IIOM’s 2022 Conference will address obsolescence management from the customer’s point of view, whether end user, service provider or manufacturer, and how obsolescence management can differentiate a supplier from its competitors in competitive markets.
