Rory King and Greg Jaknunas provide a briefing on expertise, tools, and best practices to enable anti-counterfeit, supply chain risk mitigation and problem-resolution capabilities within Parts Management. It will discuss methods integrating standards management, predictive and reactive obsolescence forecasting, and counterfeit databases and reporting mechanisms. It will illustrate how GIDEP and ERAI alerts, reports, and analysis can be integrated within traditional BOM obsolescence management processes. It will also illustrate how widely-deployed tools such as IHS Haystack, Standards Expert, and BOM Manager can enable and support efforts such as SAE AS5553 Counterfeit Electronic Parts; Avoidance, Detection, Mitigation, and Disposition. Attendees will learn methods to manage EOL cases, qualify and approve suppliers and parts, as well as methods to minimize cost and avoid risks from counterfeiting and obsolescence.
