Abstract: With commercial and military systems becoming more complex, using more sophisticated products, complex processes, and specialized people and having longer system life cycles, it is essential that organizations have a systematic approach to managing systems from an Obsolescence Management System perspective. This paper presents a new systems engineering architecture framework, House of Systems Engineering (HoSE), and shows how its constructs can be applied to support the building of a proactive Obsolescence Management System framework. We first provide a brief overview of the HoSE, including the systems engineering aspects and the systems architecture methodology used in the HoSE. Next, we discuss the 2‐dimensional Obsolescence Management System framework based on the HoSE. Finally, a case study is performed to justify the framework. The case study results suggest that the framework is beneficial in finding gaps in an Obsolescence Management Plan. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Syst Eng 17
