CSM Starter Package - Component Supplier and Obsolescence Management Starter Package. This high performance bundle of tools which work in concert to deliver a complete obsolescence and life cycle management solution for the component engineering group. The Starter Package contains all the tools necessary for rapid quick start of loading Company's AVL, and BOMs for analysis. Once the AVLs are configured using AMLNavigator™ integration module (included), the BOMs can be quickly analyzed for obsolescence and life cycle planning. Optional life cycle data provides BOM Grading with life cycle and health check. Supplier Management tools offers standardization of vendors names, identification of duplicates part numbers, and multi-source definitions. This solution also offers business rule management to streamline component and supplier selection. This package is the baseline for other Precience modules and hence must be implemented before other modules can be added.


Mitigation of electronic component availability risks throughout the product life cycle
Identify electronic component obsolescence issues with accurate end-of-life (EOL) information and real time notification services. Use robust cross-referencing to select alternate parts. Load and manage life cycle analysis for all of your active bills of materials (BOMs). Forecast future obsolescence. The starter Package offers quick start wizards to get you going within minuets.

• Identify potential component availability problems before they occur by researching parts according to form-fit-function, production status, EOL notices, projected availability in years and supply chain risk assessment.
• Mitigate your obsolescence exposure by cross-referencing parts across manufacturers by base part number, generic die, or form-fit-function. All cross-references are checked with your internal AML, and preferred replacement parts are shown first.
• View form-fit-function part number listings for potential replacement parts based on AML Preferences.
• Expand your options by searching for commercial, industrial and military parts; view equivalent parts in all three sectors.
