Hello Dan,
You need to build a relationship with the local office of a major parts distributor. They can help with alternates and will usually know well ahead of time if a part is being discontinued
That works well if the production run happens locally. But these days are long gone and this whole distributor relationship often isn't there anymore. You or your client gets bids from different assemblers in various countries. If I design something for a client I usually do not know where it is going to be produced. Also, my clients rarely do any mass qty purchasing. That is done by the assembly house in whatever country it may be. We just spec the parts they have to buy.
When dealing directly with semiconductor manufacturers it was easier. I got support from an Analog Devices engineer long after moving to another continent. That was unusual and wonderful, it has landed them quite a few design-ins.
Regards, Joerg
