Standard for Preparing an Electronic Components Management Plan

All components shall be selected according to documented processes and shall satisfy the requirements of this Plan.
| Note | Depending upon business practices or customer requirements, component standardisation to reduce proliferation of parts into inventory, may be addressed. |
| Note | Because of the highly individual nature of most Plan owners' administrative processes, no detail is included here. It may include the use of a standard component list, provided the requirements of this Plan are met when the components are placed onto the standard list. Components should then be selected from the standard list for use in specific applications. The selection process may include levels of preference. This may refer to another process document describing how parts are selected. A preference list may be something that would be included in a contract document. |
| Note | It is recommended that:
|
The conditions for use of the component shall be adequately identified, from the component specification based on the component manufacturer's data sheet and any additional requirements to ensure suitability in the end application.
Availability and level of obsolescence risk shall be considered as major component selection criteria.
If additional performance is required (e.g. upscreening, uprating, additional parameters defined) then the component shall be considered as a specific one and shall be uniquely identified.
The performance and characteristics of each selected...
