This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should the supply chain be concerned if their buyers or subcontractors are purchasing counterfeit electronic parts or if their products contain counterfeit electronic parts? If these parts end up in items that are safety critical and security-risk sensitive such as aviation, space, and defense products, whole secure systems can be comprised. As organizations have become aware of counterfeit parts, one of their responses may be to test upon acceptance or prior to receipt. But testing alone may not detect all counterfeits. Possible sources of counterfeits include products that did not meet quality control requirements and were not destroyed, overruns sold into the market place, unauthorized production shifts, theft, and e-waste. The counterfeited electronic part ends up in the supply chain when ordered by an unsuspecting buyer, who does not confirm the originating source of the part. The second edition of Counterfeit Parts and Their Impact on the Supply Chain expands on the latest insights of what is really happening in the world of supply chains, quality monitoring and testing, counterfeiting mitigation and avoidance strategy. It brings new light into the consequences of weak supply-chain monitoring and how costs, reliability and reputation are negatively impacted by counterfeit products and components.

This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electronic parts are used throughout industry to run everyday products, such as cell phones, and also highly technical products, such as aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft. Unlike cell phones, which are often replaced every year, the highly technical products may remain in service from 20 to more than 80 years. But what happens if the original electronic part, with a life cycle of 18 months, is no longer available? Some manufacturers have discovered that they have unwittingly purchased counterfeit ones. Counterfeit Electronic Parts and Their Impact on Supply Chains examines how these items are negatively affecting the aviation, spacecraft, and defense sectors and what can be done about it. As the inflow of counterfeit electronic parts does not appear to be slowing down, Counterfeit Electronic Parts and Their Impact on Supply Chains investigates the possible solutions to combat the issue, including legislation and standards, and other solutions that are government driven but that may be impacted by continuing budget cuts. The book also presents a high-level compilation of supply chain best practices identified in a survey of electronic parts manufacturers and government contractors. It is a must-read for those interested in a comprehensive review of the challenge of counterfeit electronic parts and the consequences of their use in both consumer and industrial products.

Book excerpt: "The existence and the volume of counterfeit parts residing within the Department of Defense's and in particular the United States Air Force's supply chain is real. Additionally, the disproportionate numbers of legacy aircraft in operation today and in the near future continue to complicate the issues. These legacy aircraft have long life cycles, diminished manufacturing sources, and frequent material shortages. Combine all these factors and you have a target rich environment for counterfeiting that will continue to escalate as long as it is profitable. Counterfeit parts have been polluting the DOD supply chain since the 1990s. There are various reports, news and magazine articles on the subject, but it was not until Congress made significant legislative changes in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2012 has action been taken to mitigate and reduce counterfeit parts in the DOD supply chain. Since 2012, the U.S. Government implemented a whole of government approach to tackle this issue. This issue affects both DOD, defense contractors by increasing costs, reliability, and theft of intellectual property, and could ultimately results in the death of a military member. This paper will examine the background on counterfeiting and the potential impacts such as increased cost, poor reliability, or catastrophic consequences. Additionally, current laws, orders, and instructions from the DOD as well as the United States Air Force will be reviewed with respect to relevancy of the counterfeit part mitigation solutions. Finally, the report concludes, the overall impact that the Air Force controls is negligible because of costs, limited resources, and numerous factors most of which are outside the control of the Air Force. The U.S. Government should establish policies limiting electronic waste disposal and implementing acquisition policies that focus on best value vice awarding acquisition contracts to the lowest cost"--Abstract.

This book was released on 2015-01-12 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In March of 2011, the Senate Armed Services Committee initiated an investigation into counterfeit electronic parts in the Department of Defense (DOD) supply chain. The investigation uncovered overwhelming evidence of large numbers of counterfeit parts making their way into critical defense systems. It revealed failures by defense contractors and DOD to report counterfeit parts and gaps in DO D's knowledge of the scope and impact of such parts on defense systems. The investigation exposed a defense supply chain that relies on hundreds of unvetted independent distributors to supply electronic parts for some of our most sensitive defense systems. And, it found overwhelming evidence that companies in China are the primary source of counterfeit electronic parts in the defense supply chain.

To effectively identify and mitigate this risk, DOD began requiring its agencies in 2013 and its contractors in 2014, to report data on suspect counterfeit parts. A Senate report included a provision for GAO to review DO'’s efforts to secure its supply chain from counterfeit parts. This report examines, among other things, (1) the use of GIDEP to report counterfeits, (2) GIDE'’s effectiveness as an early warning system, and (3) DOD’s assessment of defense contractors' systems for detecting and avoiding counterfeits. GAO recommends that DOD oversee its defense agencies' reporting efforts, develop standard processes for when to report a part as suspect counterfeit, establish guidance for when to limit access tor GIDEP reports, and clarify criteria to contractors for their detection systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study investigates deceptive counterfeits in the global supply chains. It explores perceived sources of counterfeits, their impact and identifies risk mitigation strategies in Business-to-Business procurement. An online survey was used to collect data from 140 procurement professionals targeted at a national purchasing body and affiliated UK purchasing groups. The study findings show that counterfeit breaches are increasing, especially in low-cost spare parts, sourced from tier-two suppliers based in developing countries. Counterfeits lead to high costs, delays, lost sales, product recalls and even legal action. Network transparency, cost of quality and pre-supply evaluation approaches and supplier relationship management are the most effective mitigation strategies to overcome deceptive counterfeit risk in global supply chains. The study contributes to supply chain academics and practitioners' growing research interest in counterfeit risk.

Book excerpt: " Counterfeit parts-generally the misrepresentation of parts' identity or pedigree-can seriously disrupt the Department of Defense (DOD) supply chain, harm weapon systems integrity, and endanger troops' lives. In a November testimony (GAO-12-213T), GAO summarized preliminary observations from its investigation into the purchase and authenticity testing of selected, military-grade electronic parts that may enter the DOD supply chain. As requested, this report presents GAO's final findings on this issue. The results are based on a nongeneralizable sample and cannot be used to make inferences about the extent to which parts are being counterfeited. GAO created a fictitious company and gained membership to two Internet platforms providing access to vendors selling military-grade electronic parts. GAO requested quotes from numerous vendors to purchase a total of 16 parts from three categories: (1) authentic part numbers for obsolete and rare parts; (2) authentic part numbers with postproduction date codes (date codes after the last date the part was manufactured); and (3) bogus, or fictitious, part numbers that are not associated with any authentic parts. To determine whether the parts received were counterfeit, GAO contracted with a qualified, independent testing lab for full component authentication analysis of the first two categories of parts, but not the third (bogus) category. Part numbers have been altered for"
