Based on the example below. Offer alternate solutions based on the question listed. Your organization recently conducted an inventory of the supplies on hand for your manufacturing facility. It was determined during that inventory that there were numerous excess and obsolete parts. How do you prevent this problem within an organization?

Just like everything we buy anything can go obsolete especially when it comes to manufacturing. Preventing parts from becoming obsolete is a component of risk management and there is no way of knowing when it can occur. It is important to know, just because something is deemed obsolete does not mean it cannot be obtained (Wilkins, 2018).

To prevent this problem, I recommend White Claw hiring an obsolescence manager. This role would include addressing the current system, performing a risk analysis, and documenting how to access obsolete parts (Wilkins, 2018). Building relationships with suppliers who have access to parts that are hard to come by would be extremely beneficial. This role would be critical to the success of White Claw and it would assure that production consistently stays on track.
