Are you or your supply chain properly handling Class 0 ESD sensitive devices with validated packaging during the parts inspection process? This 2-day course is in an interactive case study format and will review not only non-conformance related issues, but also validation methods often overlooked in a Suspect Counterfeit Countermeasure Program. The course provides in-depth technical review of validation issues:

—  Where do counterfeits come from?

—  How can counterfeits be identified?

—  How can counterfeiting be combated?

—  Are proper ESD measures being employed?

—  Does your inspection process compromise Class 0 ESD sensitive devices?

—  How are parts coded, tracked and safeguarded by employing RFID? 

Issues 

—  Supplier Non-Conformance

—  Long Term Storage Issues

—  Outdated Standards

—  Lack of Class 0 Device Training

—  Incoming Inspection Practices

—  Inadequate Inspection of

—  Sensitive Components

—  Packaging Inspection?

—  Validation beyond Parts!

—  Physical Audits of Packaging Materials – Not Just Processes!

—  Leadership from the Top Down!
