There are many examples of counterfeit parts and materials getting into the supply chain, from falsified material certificates to counterfeit circuit boards and chips. This has a monetary cost, but critically a potential cost to life and limb; flight safety. Then we have the risk to your corporate reputation.

OEMs require suppliers at all levels in their supply chain to provide self-certification/attestation that effective measures have been implemented to prevent counterfeit and unapproved parts entering the value-stream. But this is often not understood.

While there is no single process or standard that can absolutely prevent a company from receiving or installing a counterfeit part, there are frameworks and best practices which have proven to be effective in pinpointing specific areas vulnerability.
