CMCA(UK)’s solutions range from simple monitoring of your critical components with email alerts, Product Change Notices (PCN)’s, right through to a customer-owned bespoke database. This can simply be a list of disassociated parts, or it can contain full equipment structure indentation with a customer-updatable Obsolescence Solution Management section. This section can include options such as “Design Out”, “Life-Time Buy” and also a materials data section which could include Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) information and in-house stock levels.

We are not only limited to electronic components, although obviously they form a large percentage of potential problem items. We cover all types of commodities, including electro-mechanical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and drilling along with things like oils, petroleums and chemicals. We have even been asked to monitor an individual who supplies a key service to an organisation.
