Use of Component Documentation and Supply Chain for Counterfeit Avoidance
14th March 2023 | 9:00 AM - 10:45 AM
Dr. Diganta Das (CALCE, University of Maryland)
Overview
There is NO alternative to good supply chain management as a defense against counterfeit parts. Many types of products that have to be manufactured and supported for long periods of time lack control over critical parts of their supply chain, e.g., avionics and space, telecom infrastructure, and industrial controls. Much of the problem regarding counterfeit electronics is due to lack of due diligence by the part buyers. Understanding the supply chain and assessing the supply chain before engaging them are necessary steps for any organization. This part of the course will cover how to understand and utilize process change notices for making supply change management and counterfeit detection more efficient. The role of counterfeit part reporting as a legal and technical tool along with its promises and limitations will be discussed with examples. The impact of the US DoD rule changes on the supply chain will be introduced.
