Abstract: 

SAE International has published or is developing over two dozen anti-counterfeit aerospace standards. Some standards apply to specific commodities, while some standards apply to certain types of businesses. This presentation explains the applicability of these standards and how the suite of standards can be employed to effectively avoid counterfeits.
In addition, this presentation will summarize recent revisions to two key aerospace standards; SAE AS5553 revision E for electrical, electronic, and electromechanical (EEE) parts and SAE AS6174 revision B for non-EEE materiel. These standards are commonly required by aerospace and defense customers. AS5553 and AS6174 are also frequently self-adopted by organizations who purchase or sell high-performance products.

Biography: 

Jim Creiman serves as Co-chair of the SAE G-19 and G-21 technical committees, which are responsible for aerospace standards related to counterfeit prevention. Jim recently retired from the aerospace and defense industry after over 35 years of engineering and management experience in electronic systems integration, semiconductor fabrication, supply chain management, and regulatory compliance. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in statistics from Virginia Tech and a Master of Manufacturing Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University. Jim and his wife enjoy traveling, especially with their two young adult children, and they have a keen interest in counterfeit avoidance in mobility systems.
