How the work flows

Trigger: A strategic sourcing review, supplier notification, or engineering change request flags an existing part for evaluation against its interchangeable alternatives.

  1. Identify families of fully interchangeable parts
  2. Evaluate the cost, quality, and lead time of each interchangeable variant
  3. Determine which parts to supersede based on commercial strategy
  4. Update the part master data to link superseded parts to their active replacements
  5. Establish inventory depletion rules for the superseded stock
  6. Enforce new purchasing rules in the procurement system

Outcome: The enterprise resource planning system reflects the commercial decision to supersede specific parts, directing all future procurement to the preferred interchangeable variants.
