Question

DMSMS or Obsolescence Management

I am looking for anyone who has implemented some process to manage diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS) or obsolescence.  I saw a few older posts on the subject, but the ones that looked interesting were a) old, and b) not responded to.

 

I am looking at trying to better support our current process by bringing some if not all of the information and processes into Windchill.

 

Anyone managing DMSMS or obsolescence in Winddhill?.

Obsolescence, yes - with Lifecycle State, Transition in Change Task and Supercedes/Superceded By linkage... all out of the box.

Is the supercedes/superceded by linkage part of Supplier Management?  I do not see that relationship type available to me on my 10.1 system.

OOTB at 10.2... may be the M020 build, but does not require Supplier Management.  This was one of the compelling reasons to upgrade for us.

Have you tried different solution and found a good method for the last states in the life cycle?
