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
