BS 7000-5:2001 pdf free.Design management systems Guide to managing obsolescence.
BS 7000-5 1 Scope This British Standard gives guidance for establishing a framework for obsolescence management and for planning a cost-effective obsolescence management process that is applicable through all phases of the product life cycle. This standard is applicable to all products that include electronic, electrical and electro-mechanical components, although its use can he extended to include other products and processes.
Obsolescence management covers the following areas:
a) new products:
b) technology insertion;
c) legacy equipment.

4 Obsolescence management initial planning
An increased incidence in obsolescence is likely to be a significant factor in cost, supportability and product life cycle. It is essential therefore that customers and suppliers are pro-active in managing obsolescence from the outset.
For a new project the project manager should analyse the anticipated project implementation(s), technology(ies) and support strategy(ies) taking into account their potential obsolescence. Where a product or programme already exists the project manager should analyse the product and support arrangements that have already been decided upon.
Based on this analysis the project manager should consider the following risks over the life of the product.
a) What would be the impact of product being unavailable due to lack of spares?
b) What would be the impact of performance degradation due to substituted parts?
c) What would be the likely cost of premature replacement?
d) What would be the likely cost of other measures to circumvent obsolescence?
e) What is the probability of obsolescence occurring due to advances in technology?
I) What is the probability of obsolescence occurring due to the introduction of new legislation? Having carried out an analysis there are two options available. These are based on the perceived risk of impact, cost and probability.
The two main strategy options that should be considered are:
a) Strategy 1 — Reactive (see clause 6):
React to problems of obsolescence as and when they occur;
b) Strategy 2 — Proactive (see clause 7):
Develop and implement an obsolescence management programme.BS 7000-5 pdf download.
