Case Studies

Minimize Disruption and Redesign with Obsolescence Alerts

Challenge
Schlumberger, the world's largest oil services company, faces the threat of part obsolescence for components integrated into its highly customized electronic monitoring systems.

Solution
Using BOM Manager and PCN Alert, Schlumberger has advance notification of end of life (EOL) and product change notifications.

Result
Schlumberger has over 800 components that have gone EOL and is holding inventory on over 500 of these components, minimizing disruption and redesign.

Reduce Costs with the BOM Manager

Challenge
Electronic component obsolescence is the second biggest risk for the United Kingdom's MoD Defense Support Group (DSG). Without the ability to forecast problem points in their supply chain, they had become less effective and were faced with escalating costs.

Solution
IHS Markit converted hardcopy BOMs to electronic and upload them into BOM Manager to determine obsolescence.s

Result
IHS Markit enabled UK MoD DSG to offer a more robust "spares and repairs" service, which was dependent upon effective obsolescence management.
