Solving Sourcing and Material Shortage Issues by Reducing Downtime and Increasing Proactive Parts Search Capabilities
AURA's Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) solution addresses the critical challenges of DMSMS by predicting part shortages and identifying suitable alternatives. This proactive approach improves supply chain reliability, predictability, and accelerates the resolution of obsolescence events, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.
AURA’s DMSMS software identifies an obsolete part, finds a closely equivalent part offered through a different vendor, and determines the best procurement pathways to get what you need in time.

PROBLEM
Overcoming DMSMS Challenges
Traditional DMSMS management methods are plagued by inefficiencies. Reactive strategies, heavy reliance on manual processes, and the impact of supply chain disruptions have made it increasingly difficult to address diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages. These challenges result in costly downtime, increased risks, and operational inefficiencies.
SOLUTION
AURA Technologies was tasked with developing a cutting-edge DMSMS solution under a SBIR contract.
By integrating data from a plethora of sources, including government and commercial databases, AURA’s DMSMS solution provides comprehensive, up-to-date information. Central to the system is a sophisticated AI/ML algorithm capable of obsolescence forecasting and suggesting suitable replacement options. This component continually refines its accuracy and efficiency with each use, making AURA’s DMSMS solution an evolving tool in the realm of DMSMS issues management.
By building DMSMS as a custom specialized solution, it allows us to do the same for any part in the future. Any client that comes to us and says ‘we have this same problem,’ we’re able to build them a custom solution to meet their needs.”

AURA DMSMS Solution
Proactive DMSMS Management
AURA's DMSMS solution goes beyond reactive measures, offering proactive strategies to mitigate supply chain risks. By combining advanced monitoring, risk-based prioritization, comprehensive data integration, and tailored solutions, we empower organizations to overcome DMSMS challenges and ensure operational resilience.

Proactive Monitoring
& Failure Prevention
AURA's DMSMS solution proactively identifies and mitigates potential supply chain risks. By detecting Single Point Failures during the design phase, we ensure smoother operations and minimize disruptions.

Risk-Based Approach & Efficient Resource Allocation
Our DMSMS solution supports a risk-based approach to prioritize cases, significantly reducing manual efforts by focusing on high-risk areas. This strategic approach ensures efficient use of resources and maximizes operational efficiency.

Data Integration & Cross-Product Identification
AURA’s DMSMS solution easily integrates sub-tier supplier data from multiple suppliers, assuming a Bill of Materials (BOM) is available. It can identify the same or similar components used across multiple Department of Defense (DOD) products, fostering better planning and resource allocation.

Customized Solutions & Advanced Reporting
AURA delivers customized DMSMS solutions. We anticipate potential delays, generate regular reports, and adapt to specific client needs. Our flexible approach ensures optimal support for any part, at any time.
Proactive Monitoring
