EEE Obsolescence (ISS, SSP, OSP)Task 04-011
Description
Benefits
EEE Obsolescence (ISS, SSP, OSP)

• BACKGROUND
• Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material
  Shortages (DMSMS) is defined as the loss, or
  impending loss, of manufacturers or suppliers of
  items or the shortages of raw materials. It is
  possible for DMSMS to occur at any phase of the
  Program/Projectfrom design and development
  through post-production. DMSMS has the potential
  to critically impact space vehicle supportability
  and life cycle. The majority of DMSMS has
  occurred in the electronics areas (microcircuits)
  but can affect all EEE parts areas including
  modules, subsystems or systems.
• TASKS
• Identify and collect various data sources for EEE
  obsolescence for ISS and SSP programs.
• Identify and document available tools and
  techniques for predicting obsolescence
  engineering.
• Research, compare, and benchmark various
  approaches to EEE parts obsolescence.
• Research and document data on decapsulate and
  repackaging companies and approaches as well as
  their procedures to maintain product reliability
  quality assurance.

• Knowledge of predictive tools and methodologies
  comparison will aid EEE parts obsolescence
  evaluation for NASA projects.
• Collaboration with other government centers such
  as DOD on methods to address obsolescence and
  obsolescence management (Defense industry is
  already researching these areas).
• Leads to the development of decision models and
  parts obsolescence management roadmap.
• Improvement of maintenance, reliability schedule
  costs, and sustaining engineering.

Deliverables

• Potential EEE parts obsolescence candidates
  database from ISS, SSP, and OSP.
• Report of predictive tools availability.and
  repackaging companies.
• Report of long term storage effects of electronic
  microcircuits.
