This live instructor-led online class will provide anyone involved in the purchase, sale, inspection or integration of Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical (EEE) parts and materiel with job roles in contracting, management, purchasing, sales, quality, and engineering at Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), Independent Distributors, Authorized Distributors, and Government Agencies with a foundation for understanding counterfeit electronic parts.

All organizations and their personnel need to know how the term "counterfeit electronic part" is defined, the consequences associated with the sale or integration of a "counterfeit electronic part" and how government and industry responses could impact your business.

This two-day comprehensive class was developed to address the critical aspects of counterfeit electronic parts in the supply chain. Multiple case studies and workshops are included in this class to encourage student participation and facilitate learning. The workshops will review images from ERAI's expansive database and discuss how counterfeit parts are detected using various test methods. The case studies will review recent examples of misrepresented parts, falsified reports, misrepresented traceability to the original component manufacturer, wire fraud and trafficking in counterfeit goods. A thorough discussion of these case studies will allow the student to have a better understanding of the threat of counterfeit electronic parts in the supply chain.

This two-day instructor-led webinar class covers:

• A Historical Overview of Counterfeit Electronic Part Activity: The Risk, Response, and Solution
• Understanding the Global Electronics Supply Chain and How Counterfeits Enter the Supply Chain
• Counterfeit Inspection and Testing of Electronic Parts: Test Methods Overview
• Industry Response to Counterfeits: An Overview of the Industry Standards
• Best Practices
• Risk Assessment and Risk Mitigation to ensure counterfeit electronic parts are not purchased, sold or installed

Case studies will review several recent counterfeit incidences and discuss the root cause of the delivery of the counterfeit part and best practices that should be implemented to prevent this occurrence in the future.
