Introduction
What is Counterfeit material ?????
Counterfeit materiel refers to items that are unauthorized copies or identical fraudulent
substitutes that have been identified, produced in the market marked, or altered by another source than that of items’ legally authorized by the supplier or misrepresenting to be authorized items of the legally authorized
supplier
To identify and prevent the material that is at high fraudulent risk, preventative measures, early detection processes, strengthened
procedures and accountable method with the end use application of the material in the system or its criticality, and to ensure all instances of counterfeit materiel or suspect counterfeit material is reported.
Counterfeit material poses risk in..
supply chain, potentially resulting in loss of material, mission, or life of the material.
Counterfeit materiel refers to items that are unauthorized copies or substitutes that have been identified, not marked but the imitation of the master of any products with little loophole of the product will be identical.
Altered by a source other than the items’ legally authorized supplier or have been misrepresented to be authorized items of the legally authorized supplier. Examples include but are not limited to Used material will be resolved in the market.
Counterfeit material poses risk in
Material containing additional content which is not required by the OM (e.g., added intended functions, modified firmware, etc.)
Counterfeit materiel is a serious threat to the safety and operational effectiveness to your Firm, as counterfeit material often manifests itself not only during initial system testing but in reduced system life.
Counterfeit materiel affects all supply classes. It is reasonable to assume that if a material can be counterfeited.
During design to selection of material, the risk of counterfeit material needs to be assessed and mitigations to be examined. While this is a continual part of the risk management process and is initiated throughout the material selection process, the first formal assessment should take place as part of the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and the following applies. Refer MIL-STD-3018 "Parts Management".
Systems Engineering Technical Reviews(SETR). Assessments to determine the risk of counterfeiting must also be AS5553 considered as Materiel in this standard refers to the material, parts, assemblies, and other procured items process. The such as the PDR assessment criteria should include considerations for:
Technology roadmap of the parts and material selected and the long term availability of the materiel Stability of the suppliers and location (region) of the suppliers
Criticality of the material
Criticality of the application
Susceptibility to counterfeiting.
Special precautions should be taken for material that would provide the tactical or strategic value of any product.
Likelihood of counterfeit
We know that all material can be counterfeited. However, there are several factors that make an item more likely to be a target of counterfeiters.
Obsolescence – Obsolete material is no longer available from trustworthy suppliers such as the original manufacturers (OM) or an authorized supplier. If the material is in demand, in the selling price may increase significantly, enough to justify counterfeiting.
Price and Volume:- Counterfeiters are much increasingly likely to deal in the material where a significant profit can be gained, either through an upper purchase price or through large volume sales.
Upper sale price items are targeted and listed at an unbeliever to capture customers seeking lower purchase costs. Counterfeiters will often target material that is misbelief in multiple quality levels, procuring low counterfeit commercial items that can be remarked and sold at a higher price as industrial, automotive or military materiel.
Common Commercial Materiel – Items commonly used in commercial applications are more likely to exist in high volume as (metal scraps electronic waste or e-waste). The product that has been used in the prior application, It may be resold as a new product, although the materiel’s reliability has likely been affected.
Part II: Supplier Selection and
Procurement
To minimize counterfeit risk, a material should always be purchased from the OM(Original manufacturers) or an authorized supplier when available.
