CP-01: Developing and Implementing a Documented Counterfeit Mitigation Program (Revision 1)
Class Overview
The first step to establishing a counterfeit avoidance program is to document the process. Some standards refer to this document as a "control plan", other standards call it a "policy document" and yet others refer to this document is as a "procedure" or "process". Regardless of what your organization calls this document, the processes that your organization uses to ensure that you do not purchase, sell, install or release a counterfeit electronic part into the supply chain should be documented.

This class will cover the basic elements of a documented counterfeit avoidance process, which include:

  1. Documented Procedure
  2. Training
  3. Supply Chain Traceability
  4. Purchasing Procedure
  5. Flow Down Requirements
  6. Supplier Approval Process
  7. Verification of Purchased Product
  8. Quarantine/Disposition
  9. Reporting
  10. Maintaining current information
Note that this class will discuss the documented counterfeit avoidance program in general terms.
