Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS)
\nis the loss or impending loss of manufacturers or suppliers of
\ncritical items and raw materials due to production discontinuance.
\nDMSMS is an increasingly difficult problem for DoD weapon systems
\nbecause the manufacturing lives of many critical items get shorter
\nwhile the life cycles of military weapon systems keep increasing.
\nTraditionally, efforts to mitigate the effects of DMSMS have been
\nreactive; that is, the effects are addressed only when they are
\nseen. This reactive approach to DMSMS solutions leads to decisions
\nthat put a premium on faster solution paths with attractive
\nshort-term gains in order to avoid system inoperability, while
\nignoring the long-term solution paths that would lead to generic
\nfamilies of solutions or larger-scale solutions with the capability
\nof avoiding future DMSMS issues. In order to solve DMSMS issues
\nwith lower overall cost, DMSMS solutions must change from reactive
\nto proactive. The building blocks of effective proactive management
\nof DMSMS are established during the design and development of
\nsystems. If systems are designed with the inevitability of DMSMS in
\nmind, early solution paths with largescale solutions can be started
\nat an appropriately early time to enable intelligent choices
\nwithout the imminent threat of system inoperability. Such generic
\nlarge-scale solutions and a consensus on where DMSMS threats are
\nmost prevalent can be better forecasted by the use of a standard
\nset of DMSMS management practices used by the foremost members of
\nindustry. The creation, dissemination, and widespread use of such a
\nstandard can greatly help the cause of proactive management of
\nDMSMS.<\/p>\n
This guideline presents a set of management practices that can
\nbe used by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) during the
\ndesign and development of military electronic systems to mitigate
\nthe effects of DMSMS. Such practices will help future builders and
\nmodifiers of DoD weapon systems to design proactively to address
\nthe issues of future component obsolescence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
