On Monday, BAE Systems released a new set of products to help government and commercial customers manage obsolete parts for aircraft, ships, vehicles, and other platforms. They are to be featured on the company’s Advanced Component Obsolescence Management (AVCOM) tool.AVCOM is a readiness and sustainment tool that allows users to track and plan for the replacement, upgrading, inventory location and ordering of new parts. The Air Force relies heavily on the Web-based tool, which features a database containing 15 million parts and access to information on an additional 50 million parts throughout the company’s partnerships.
The new products will provide four tiers of service for AVCOM.
“With tiered service, AVCOM can manage a variety of sustainment needs and budgets, from inexpensive, small-scale projects to large-scale, complex requirements, †said Willie Brown, manager of BAE Systems’ obsolescence management team. “These changes reflect our commitment to helping customers identify and mitigate their obsolescence challenges.â€
