The Crucial Role of Traceability in the Secure, Smart Supply-Chain
14th March 2023 | 9:00 AM - 10:45 AM
Michael Ford (Aegis Software)
Overview
Ingress of counterfeit, implemented through physical materials, software alteration through cyberattack, as well as tampering with IP such as design data or Bill of Materials, needs to be prevented if we are to build products on which we depend for safety and security.
In this course, from the manufacturing perspective, we look at the various risks associated with counterfeiting, and how they are addressed with simple holistic practices within manufacturing, based on material and process traceability. Adoption of several new and existing IPC standards will be considered, and their relationships as they work together to eliminate the risk of effects of counterfeit activity, seeking to ultimately destroy the counterfeit business case, through clear assignment and visibility of responsibility, but without loss of privacy.
