Cost Wise Readiness

The Right Readiness at the Right Cost

From inception to repair, maintenance to upgrades, a program manager’s job is never done. Even after a system has been up and running for decades, the work that goes into keeping it mission-ready continues. In fact, keeping older ‘Legacy Systems’ functioning successfully is a complex and tedious task. Why? Quite simply, the parts needed to maintain or upgrade these older programs are no longer manufactured nor easily found on inventory shelves. It’s called obsolescence, and ironically, it’s here to stay.

Luckily, there are an increasing number of solutions on the market to resolve obsolescence challenges. The same speed of technology that is quickly dating these systems effects the sustainment side of the coin as well. 3D printing companies and additive manufacturing businesses are good examples. Other options involve working closely with suppliers that specialize in locating hard-to-find and obsolete parts. In any case, a program manager has a number of choices to choose from when meeting repair or upgrade requirements.
