DMEA is an integral part of a complex network of commercial suppliers, the technology
aftermarket, and government organizations that ensure continuous support for microelectronics
in military systems. DMEA can help resolve problems in several specific ways:
- Identify device data for which there is no existing documentation
- Help find existing replacement parts from suppliers
- Provide a complete range of solutions from component replacement to board and system
upgrades using advanced microelectronic technologies for transformational opportunities
- Provide a single solution for multi-symptomatic supportability problems embracing
Total Life Cycle Systems Management (TLCSM) concepts
- Ensure long term support with no future obsolescence issues with parts manufactured
from DMEA’s ARMS flexible foundry
Based on our Engineering Analysis, a wide range of solution options can be developed.
These solutions can come from our complex network of suppliers, as well as design
options from DMEA at the IC, board or system level, and/or a mixture of both. These
solutions can be short term solutions, to address immediate obsolescence, in parallel
with longer term solutions addressing reliability problems. Each Option will identify
solutions and potential Cost Avoidance at each level. Because DMEA provides solutions
at the IC, board or system level, we don’t have a vested interest in any single
solution. The decision is based on the reduction in total cost of ownership and
funding availability.
This Business Case Analysis, provides a wide degree of options, both short term
and long term, as well as future cost avoidances, that a program manager can use
to calculate Return on Investment over time. After thorough analysis, the client
chooses the best solution for their program’s schedule and resources.
