About This Tool
This Obsolescence Risk Calculator is based on practical experience across a range of industries and is intended for maintenance, reliability, and procurement professionals who want to take a proactive approach to risk management.
It doesn’t replace a full obsolescence management strategy, but it can help you:
- Prioritise which parts may need attention
- Identify risk areas for further analysis
- Support discussions with suppliers or internal stakeholders
You can revisit and re-run this tool for multiple parts or use it during team workshops or planning sessions.
