Legacy Parts Accelerator

Produce Legacy Parts Faster at a Lower Cost

Legacy Parts Accelerator is a solution that helps organizations quickly specify, source and manufacture out-of-production parts. The DSN Innovations team can orchestrate some or all of the process based on your needs.

We Will Help You

• Locate legacy parts in existing inventories
• Find or reverse engineer technical data packages
• Create a “should-cost” model
• Facilitate sourcing
• Qualify suppliers
• Manage the supply process to “first article”

Whether you have to produce one legacy part one time, or you’re looking to establish a regular production schedule, our service can help you get it done faster at less cost. The DSN Innovations team is able to do this because of three key elements.

Network Centric Manufacturing

Network Centric Manufacturing (NCM) is the rapid assembly and seamless coordination of dynamic supplier networks to accelerate production and reduce costs. These supplier networks have three key traits:

• Agility - The ability to quickly change form and structure
• Connectivity - Coordinate and collaborate regardless of disparate computer systems
• Visibility - See individual manufacturing processes throughout the network
  

Job-Sight^TM
Job-Sight is a Web-based interactive tool that facilitates the entire design, sourcing and production process for dynamic supplier networks. Job-Sight gives you greater control over and visibility into your manufacturing process with:

• Rapid sourcing
• A standard legal framework
• Secure collaboration with ITAR compliance
• CAD neutral 2D/3D viewing
• Improved management tools
