  1. Drives product lifecycle management model(PLM)June 2004

  2. Complete product lifecycle management Management of plant’s installed base of drives Optimum performance curve Active • sales and manufacturing phase Classic • guaranteed product support phase Limited • limited product support phase Obsolete • no viable service market or technology remains Performance Management of various drive generations Active Classic Limited Obsolete Approx. 5..10 years Approx. 7..10 years Min. 3 years

  3. Product lifecycle phases • Active(sales and manufacturing phase) • Classic(guaranteed product support phase) • Limited(limited product support phase) • Obsolete(no viable service market or technology remains) Annual lifecycle status review Lifecycle announcement Lifecycle announcement Lifecycle announcement Active Classic Limited Obsolete Product isreleased for sale Product manufacturing ceases Guaranteed product support ceases Limited product support ceases Guaranteed product support Limited product support

  4. Released for sale Active phase of product lifecycle • Product has been released for sale • Continuing search for functional enhancements • Support upgrade from older products (limited & obsolete) to active version • Guaranteed product support and lifecycle services available: • Selection & Dimensioning • Training & Learning Services • Spare Parts & Repair Services • Optimization • Installation & Commissioning • Support & Remote Services • Maintenance & Field Services Availability of service offerings is subject to local market conditions. Volume production ends Active Lifecycle announcement

  5. Classic phase of product lifecycle • Product is no longer manufactured, but complete drive modules still available for most products for spare and extension purposes • Enhancements available as far as technology permits • Price may increase due to lower volume, increased vendor component costs, etc. • Guaranteed product support and lifecycle services available: • Training & Learning Services • Spare Parts & Repair Services • Optimization • Support & Remote Services • Maintenance & Field Services • Migration & Retrofits Availability of service offerings is subject to local market conditions. Full product support ends Classic Yearly lifecycle status review Lifecycle announcement

  6. Increased use of refurbished material and repair services Recommended replacement with active product (recycling available where permitted) Limited product support and lifecycle services available: Limited phase of product lifecycle • Support & Remote Services • Maintenance & Field Services • Spare Parts & Repair Services • Replacement & Recycling Availability of service offerings is subject to local market conditions. Limited product support ends Limited Yearly lifecycle status review Lifecycle announcement

  7. Obsolete phase of product lifecycle • Obsolete phase occurs when: • Product support is no longer possible within reasonable cost • ABB can no more support the product technically • Old technology is no more available • Many ABB drives have been and will be supported for over 20 years • Availability of support, spare parts, repair & field services can not be guaranteed: • Sale of spare parts is limited to available inventory, availability of repair services are contingent on components • Replacement & recycling services are available Obsolete

  8. Active Classic Limited Obsolete Summary of product lifecycle phases • Product, parts and related lifecycle services have been released for sale. • Service products provide fast drive start-up and ease-of-use from day one. • Migration from limited and obsolete products is supported. • Product is no longer manufactured, but drive modules are available for spare and extension purposes. • Full range of lifecycle services focused on drive reliability and performance is provided. • Enhancements are available as far as technology permits. • Repair services and parts are available as long as materials exist. • ABB recommends migration to active products. • Recycling services are available (contingent on the market). • ABB cannot guarantee availability of product support for technical reasons or within reasonable costs. • Many ABB products have been and will be supported for over 20 years.

  9. Benefits Drives productlifecycle management • Ensures spare part and competence availability throughout the product lifecycle • Enables efficient product support & maintenance for improved reliability • Adds functionality to the initial product by following the upgrade path • Provides smooth transition to new technology in the end of the product lifecycle Maximizes value of equipment and maintenance investments
