Managing the details as a product enters its end of life offers many challenges. Benchmark Electronics offers End of Life support as part of production operations and program management. We are here to support your products from Concept through End of Life.

The End of Life (EOL) phase for a product requires careful advanced planning and detail management to ensure costs, inventory, and equipment are controlled while still meeting your end customer’s expectations. Benchmark Electronics supports the product end of life activity for our customers by offering management of all these critical areas.

The Benchmark materials organization works with your EOL forecast and your new product’s materials forecast to disposition material to avoid costly excess inventory. Technical and business teams help you to develop and execute to a plan that addresses excess and obsolete equipment specific to your products. Benchmark offers repair and upgrade services to extend the life of your products, and reconditioning and salvage operations that can reduce the cost of your next generation product.

At Benchmark, we understand that the end of a product’s build life is not the end of the product’s life in the field. We offer service and warranty plans that are critical to the existing install base long after production of the product has ended. Materials for service needs are carefully planned to avoid obsolescence issues. Life-time component buys and board re-layout/upgrades are options that can help ensure your product remains serviceable for years to come.

At Benchmark, we treat all customer programs as critical and are here to help you at all phases of your product’s life cycle.
