Class Overview
A supply
chain is a network between a company and its suppliers to produce and
distribute a specific product. The
supply chain represents the steps it takes to get the product from the
original
manufacturer to the customer. Companies
in a supply chain are often referred to as tiers.
In this class we will examine the various tiers that make up the global
semiconductor
supply chain. In doing so we will:
- Explain the vital role each tier
plays.
- Demonstrate the movement of parts through the
use of real-world scenarios.
- Identify
vulnerabilities that may contribute to the introduction of a counterfeit
part, which has the potential to seriously compromise the safety and
operational effectiveness of products.
