Product phase-out
Article Abstract:
Product end-of-life (EOL) planning is an unacknowledged aspect of total quality management which must be adressed in connection with other production processes. EOL strategies include procurement planning for a single production run, incremental procurement according to demand, production phasing in coordination with the demand for a new product and introduction of a substitute product to lower the demand for the product to be phased out. These strategies can be used to avoid inventory obsolescence in the face of declining demand.
