Enterprise Network Models for Counterfeit Part Supply Chains | Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering

Workshop Agenda

Date - Thursday, August 5, 2021
Time - 10:30 a.m.- 6:00 p.m.

*All times shown are in US Eastern Time Zone

This free workshop is organized by the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE) at the University of Maryland and the UMD School of Public Policy. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the SMTA/CALCE Symposium on Counterfeit Parts and Materials.

Objective: The objective of this Workshop is to examine enterprise network modeling as a tool for understanding and disrupting counterfeit electronics supply chains.

Participants: Electronics supply chain members from OCMs to users, supply chain monitoring technology developers, academics, policymakers, legal and law enforcement, and other stakeholders

Workshop Outcome: A report capturing the discussion, issues identified, and recommendations for developing and implementing network models that capture the latest practices and future trends.

The meeting followed Chatham House Rule – that is, no attribution of comments or quotes to encourage open discussion. This workshop was part of a National Science Foundation project focused on Using Enterprise Network Models to Disrupt the Operations of Illicit Counterfeit Part Supply Chains for Critical Systems.
