DfR Solutions is a leading provider of quality, reliability, and durability research and services for the global electronics industry. Abstract: The secondary market is often the supply chain of last recourse when a component product goes obsolete or is under production constraints. While it is possible to get high quality, genuine parts,  it is also possible to get nonconforming, reworked, or counterfeit components. What is most frustrating is that it is increasingly  difficult to differentiate genuine parts from their counterfeit equivalents.    This webinar, presented jointly by ASQ and DfR Solutions, will     cover strategies that can be used to protect your company and products against the obsolescence risk. Topics include relevant industry standards, use of Managed Supply Programs (MSP) and Contract Pooled Options, plus long term storage     recommendations and practices.
