"Executive Summary Electronic parts@ often as small as several square millimeters@ are used throughout industry to run everyday products@ such as cell phones@ and highly technical products@ such as aircraft@ missiles@ and spacecraft. Unlike cell phones@ which are often replaced every year@ the highly technical products may remain in service from 20 to more than 80 years. But what happens if the original electronic part with a life cycle of 18 months is no longer available for purchase to use in the manufacturing process or in the repair of such products? Some manufacturers have discovered@ upon receipt of electronic parts that they have unwittingly purchased@ counterfeit electronic parts. This book examines how counterfeit electronic parts are impacting the aviation@ spacecraft@ and defense supply chains. The first chapter sets the stage by examining the multiple definitions of a counterfeit electronic part@ and why the supply chain should avoid purchasing counterfeits. Chapter 1 also looks at how various organizations have attempted to measure the amount of counterfeit electronic parts present in the supply chain or available for purchase. Chapter 2 addresses how legitimate electronic parts are manufactured in clean rooms and@ for comparison@ looks at how counterfeit electronic parts are ""manufactured"" often literally on the street. This chapter also considers the life cycle of electronic parts in light of the life cycle of aviation@ spacecraft@ and defense products@ as well as how the various levels of the supply chain purchase electronic parts. It concludes with several examples of how counterfeit electronic parts have entered the supply chain. Solutions@ such as legislation and standards@ to control or keep counterfeit electronic parts out of the supply chain are reviewed in depth in Chapter 3. A high-level compilation of supply chain best practices identified in a survey of electronic parts manufacturers and government contractors is provided. As the inflow of counterfeit electronic parts does not appear to be decreasing due to the ever-increasing amount of electronic waste or an increasing demand for out-of-production electronic parts@ Chapter 4 examines some of the possible future solutions to combat the issue. The majority of the solutions are government driven but may be impacted by continuing cuts in government budgets and greater demands on government contractors. Chapter 5 concludes this title by providing a review of the challenge of counterfeit electronic parts and their impact on the various levels of the global supply chain."
