WORKSHOP: "Counterfeit Industry Overview"
|
This workshop presents a review of the global development of electronic component counterfeiting, and
allows opportunity to delve into specific areas that directly affect your company's operations.
What types of components are you buying? How active are counterfeiters with these parts, and how
can you be sure you're catching the types of fakes they produce to meet your type of component demand?
The workshop also reviews available objective and subjective data on what's actually
happening in the industry today. What are companies really experiencing, and how are they reacting?
What are the strategies they are putting in place, and how relevant might these be for your company?

WORKSHOP: "Risk Assessment - Your Current Situation"
|
You can't make a plan without a clear understanding of the problem! This workshop take you
through a process to review what your company's actual counterfeit experience has been as well as
a look at the current level of protections (or lack thereof) embedded in your procurement, receiving
inspection and vendor management policies.

|
WORKSHOP: "Distributor Selection & Management"
|
"Vendor Reduction" might be the buzz-phrase everyone's using; but is that really an adequate response?
This workshop looks at the benefits of vendor reduction, and helps you outline criteria you will use
to evaluate current and prospective suppliers from the perspective of what will best help to mitigate
counterfeit risk while still giving your procurement operations the flexibility they need.
You'll take a look at quality certifications such as ISO 9001 and the Aerospace AS9120, and understand the
difference between "compliant" and "certified". The subjects of inspection and traceability, as well as
vendor performance reporting are also covered.

follow-up included to ensure success.

relation to development and implementation of your counterfeit risk mitigation strategy.

"LUNCH n LEARN" is Preferred
|
To date, most of the ESCS Counterfeit Mitigation Workshops have been held as a "Lunch 'n Learn" event.
It's an easy way to accomplish the goal without the need to schedule yet another meeting in everyone's busy day.
