The right obsolescence management strategy for the entire service lifecycle

Rail systems are long-lasting investments with planned service lives of 30 to 40 years. The supply of spare parts for railways needs to be guaranteed over the long term in order to ensure continuous operability and efficient maintenance. With easy obsolescence solutions, Siemens Mobility Rail Services offers railway operators a comprehensive portfolio for obsolescence management according to IEC standard 62402 to ensure the availability of spare parts over the entire lifecycle of their vehicles and infrastructure systems.

Rail vehicles and systems have long supply chains with many part suppliers and have to undergo complex, time-consuming approval processes.

To prevent obsolescence-related downtime, interruptions to operations, and unnecessary costs, we offer railway operators three different connected products:

  • Obsolescene notice
  • Obsolescence solution
  • Obsolescence management & monitoring
