Predict & prevent obsolescence in your electronics supply chain

In today's turbulent electronics industry, reactive obsolescence management can be a ticking time bomb for electronics companies. With supply chain instability and a complex geopolitical climate, the risks are higher than ever.

Consider this: around 37% of obsolete parts disappear without prior notice, leaving companies scrambling.

Without a modern, strategic and proactive approach to obsolescence, you're facing inflated broker prices, missed market opportunities, and the specter of costly redesigns—which, in highly regulated industries, can easily exceed $10 million per project.

Ask yourself: Is my company prepared to face these challenges head-on?

Join Inga Schwarz and Anne Listemann, of Luminovo, and Christoph Horlebein, CEO & Founder of Horlebein Consulting, to discover how a proactive, digital-first approach is transforming how companies predict, plan for, and mitigate obsolescence risks within the electronics-related industry.

You’ll learn how Horlebein Consulting’s proven frameworks and practical implementation strategies, combining data intelligence, practical execution, and human-centered collaboration, are reshaping how organizations manage obsolescence—and how Luminovo’s powerful platform provides the data and automation needed to gain visibility, streamline sourcing, optimize cost and drive collaboration between engineering and procurement—from design right up to production.

Why you should attend & what you will learn:

✅ The True Impact of Obsolescence: Understand how rapid tech evolution, supply chain instability, critical mineral shortages, and regulations accelerate obsolescence and its hidden costs.

✅ Reactive vs. Proactive Obsolescence Management: See how AI and Big Data predict part End-of-Life (EOLs) to streamline R&D, instead of just reacting to product change notifications.

✅ Why OEMs Need Their Own Obsolescence Management: Discover why OEMs, even without internal manufacturing, need robust obsolescence management and shouldn't solely rely on their EMS supplier for EOL data.

✅ Horlebein Consulting’s Approach: Learn how to tackle key obsolescence challenges—like a lack of awareness, silos, or insufficient data - through a strategic focus on people & culture, processes & management, data & technology.

✅ Luminovo’s Digital Solutions: See how Luminovo's platform enables proactive obsolescence strategies by centralizing data, automating collaboration, and providing risk prediction for your electronics portfolio.

✅ Real-World Results: Learn how all these strategies significantly reduce redesign risks, free up R&D resources, prevent production halts, and optimize procurement costs.

Who should attend?

This webinar is for forward-thinking professionals in the electronics supply chain who want to:

• Gain control over component lifecycles and mitigate obsolescence risks—preventing stock-outs, reducing downtime, and ensuring continuity across the product lifecycle.

• Modernize their R&D and procurement workflows with data-driven insights—helping teams avoid costly redesigns shortly after a product launch, which often leads to delays and stalled innovation.

• Drive strategic decisions in product portfolio planning and supplier relationships — minimizing EoL maintenance costs and reducing long-term operational risks.

Relevant roles include:

• Procurement & Supply Chain

• R&D and Engineering

• Program, Product & Project Management
