Design Refresh as a Solution : A Talk by Peter Sandborn

Peter Sandborn (sandborn@umd.edu) of CALCE will present on Design Refresh as a Solution at the CALCE SMTA conference at College Park, Maryland on June 25th.
Abstract:
Many types of products that have to be manufactured and supported for long periods of time lack control over critical parts of their supply chain, e.g., avionics and space, telecom infrastructure, and industrial controls. As a result, the components and technologies that these products depend on become obsolete long before the product's field life (and sometimes manufacturing life) ends. A well calibrated life cycle management for long support life products with well time design refresh can help overcome the need to make purchase of parts from suspect sources.

Peter Sandborn is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Director of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute (Mtech) at the University of Maryland. His research interests include electronic part obsolescence management (including forecasting, mitigation and refresh planning), prognostics and health management for electronic systems (including optimal application of PHM to systems, and design for availability), technology tradeoff analysis for electronic packaging, parts selection and management for electronic systems, and system life-cycle and risk economics. He has also done work on return on investment, design for availability, and maintenance optimization for wind turbines and wind farms.
Prior to joining the University of Maryland, he was a founder and Chief Technical Officer of Savantage, Inc. Dr. Sandborn has a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan and is the author of over 200 technical publications and books on multichip module design, electronic parts, and cost modeling. He is an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology, a member of the Board of Directors for the International PHM Society, and a Fellow of the IEEE and ASME.
The Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE), the largest electronic products and systems research center focused on electronics reliability, is dedicated to providing a knowledge and resource base to support the development of competitive electronic components, products and systems.
