Abstract :
This paper provides an overview on the problem of component obsolescence. It proposes a model to develop an obsolescence mitigation timeline for the through life support of complex electronic or long life systems. Obsolescence mitigation actions are presented as a function of mitigation options during the life cycle until end of life.
