Introduction to AS5553 and Counterfeit Electronic Parts Avoidance Training


Electroic Supply Chain Solutions as most people know is a leading advocate on the education to Combat Counterfeits and has attended this course 2 times at NASA's Quality Leadership Forum. The Introduction to AS5553 and Counterfeit Electronic Parts Avoidance Training we feel is a must to all companies looking to mitigate the risks associated with the purchase of electronic components. ESCS President Matthew Heaphy III is one of the G-19 members that authored the AS5553 standard and maintains the web site http://www.as5553.info/ to explain the many benefits of the new standard. ESCS strongly urges any who can attend this event to make plans early as this course shall fill up fast.

Hotel & Travel Information
Counterfeit electronic parts have been found in almost every sector of the electronics industry and continue to be an increasing threat to electronic hardware. This threat poses significant performance, reliability and safety risks. Aerospace industry organizations, in particular, must produce and continually improve safe and reliable products that meet or exceed customer and regulatory authority requirements. The SAE AS5553 standard was created in response to the significant and increasing volume of counterfeit electronic parts entering the aerospace supply chain and standardizes requirements, practices and methods for counterfeit parts risk mitigation. The resulting document presents solutions to address counterfeit electronic parts issues across a large cross-section of the electronics industry. This comprehensive one-day seminar introduces participants to AS5553 and specifically addresses counterfeit part risk mitigation methods in electronic design and parts management, supplier management, procurement, part verification, material control, and response strategies when suspect or confirmed counterfeit parts are discovered. The seminar will provide information and guidance in each of these key requirement areas. The latter part of the course will highlight counterfeit detection techniques and part compliance verification methods. Several examples of counterfeit parts will be reviewed in detail. The course will conclude with a hands-on learning exercise in identifying, under a microscope, characteristics that can be found in counterfeit electronic parts. To accomplish this, attendees are encouraged to bring a personal laptop computer. The instructors will provide a limited number of digital microscopes and electronic parts.
In addition to the seminar handout, a copy of the AS5553-Counterfeit Electronic Parts; Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation, and Disposition standard is provided to each registrant.
Learning ObjectivesBy attending this seminar, you will be able to:
Characterize and describe the threat of counterfeit electronic parts
Identify the characteristics of an effective Counterfeit Parts Control Plan
Demonstrate one of the first steps in verification of purchased product (inspection techniques for counterfeit parts)
Recognize suspect counterfeit parts
Who Should AttendThis seminar will benefit a wide range of individuals and experience levels across the electronics industry and supply chain. Anyone who designs, specifies, buys, receives, assembles and tests electronic hardware will benefit from this seminar. This includes electronic design engineers, parts engineers, quality assurance engineers, buyers, auditors, inspectors, assemblers, electronic test engineers, microelectronic non-destructive test engineers, destructive test analysts, and supplier managers. Additionally, this seminar will benefit individuals in various levels of management that influence electronic hardware.
