Combatting Obsolescence with Precision, Reliability & Supply Chain Excellence
The Aerospace & Defense industry faces a growing challenge: component obsolescence. As technology advances and legacy components become discontinued, manufacturers must secure hard-to-find, long-lifecycle, and mission-critical parts to maintain operational readiness.
At IBS Electronics, we specialize in identifying, sourcing, and managing obsolete and end-of-life (EOL) components to ensure seamless production, minimize risks, and extend the life cycle of aerospace and defense systems. Our tailored procurement strategies, advanced inventory management, and buffer stocking programs help manufacturers avoid shortages, reduce lead times, and optimize costs.
AI-Driven Procurement & Inventory Management
Obsolescence & Buffer Stocking Solutions
We help aerospace and defense companies secure critical components before they become unavailable,
while optimizing inventory through:
- Predictive demand forecasting – Identifying at-risk components before shortages occur
- Preemptive bulk purchasing – Locking in availability before parts go EOL
- Buffer stock programs – IBS warehouses hold critical stock, releasing it as needed
- Just-in-Time (JIT) supply – Minimize storage costs while ensuring availability
