What does the Counterfeit Products and Obsolescence Kit include?
The Counterfeit Products and Obsolescence Kit includes a 450+ question self-assessment across 12 risk domains, a five-level maturity scoring model, gap analysis matrix aligned to AS6496, IEC 62475, and IPC-1787, remediation roadmap with 80+ actions, Excel reporting dashboard, and instant digital access to all templates in Word, Excel, and PDF formats.
Are you exposing your organisation to supply chain failures, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage by failing to detect counterfeit products or manage component obsolescence? The Counterfeit Products and Obsolescence Kit is a comprehensive self-assessment solution that empowers compliance managers, risk officers, and supply chain leaders to systematically identify vulnerabilities, enforce procurement integrity, and maintain product reliability across complex supplier networks. With rising global incidents of fraudulent components and lifecycle discontinuations disrupting operations, this toolkit ensures you can audit your current controls, benchmark maturity, and implement defensible mitigation strategies, before a failure triggers audit findings, customer loss, or safety incidents.
What You Receive
- A structured self-assessment with 450+ auditable questions across 12 core domains: counterfeit detection, supplier verification, component traceability, lifecycle monitoring, BOM management, regulatory compliance (including AS9100, ISO 9001, and IECQ), and risk escalation protocols, enabling you to map current practices against industry benchmarks in under an hour
- Five-level maturity scoring rubric (Initial to Optimised) for each domain, allowing you to quantify risk exposure, prioritise improvement areas, and justify investment in anti-counterfeit controls
- Gap analysis matrix that cross-references your responses with standards such as SAE AS6496, IEC 62475, and IPC-1787, so you can instantly identify where your programme falls short of best practice
- Remediation roadmap template (Excel) with 80+ pre-built actions tied to common failure points, including supplier audits, documentation verification, parts testing protocols, and obsolescence forecasting cycles, reducing time-to-action by up to 70%
- Customisable reporting dashboard (Excel) that transforms your assessment results into executive-ready summaries, heat maps, and progress tracking for internal audits or certification readiness
- 24/7 instant digital access to all files in downloadable Word, Excel, and PDF formats, ready for immediate deployment across teams, sites, or third-party partners
How This Helps You
Without a formal process, your organisation risks integrating counterfeit electronic components into safety-critical systems, accepting end-of-life parts without alternatives, or failing external audits due to incomplete supplier due diligence. This self-assessment forces clarity: you’ll uncover hidden weaknesses in sourcing, receiving inspection, and change management that generic quality checklists miss. By answering targeted questions modelled on aerospace, defence, and medical device standards, you gain actionable insight into where controls are absent or inconsistent. The result? You reduce unplanned downtime, avoid regulatory citations, protect brand reputation, and strengthen customer trust through demonstrable supply chain assurance. Waiting until a counterfeit part causes a field failure or a key component becomes unavailable is a risk no responsible professional should accept.
Who Is This For?
- Supply chain risk managers needing to validate supplier authenticity and monitor component lifecycles across global vendors
- Quality assurance leads preparing for ISO, AS, or IATF audits and seeking objective evidence of counterfeit prevention controls
- Procurement officers establishing due diligence frameworks to block fraudulent suppliers and obsolete stock
- Product engineers managing bill-of-materials (BOM) stability and forced redesigns due to part obsolescence
- Compliance officers in regulated industries (aerospace, healthcare, industrial equipment) required to document anti-counterfeiting measures
- Operations leads building resilience against production stoppages caused by unapproved or unavailable components
Choosing the Counterfeit Products and Obsolescence Kit isn’t just a purchase, it’s a strategic decision to future-proof your supply chain, strengthen compliance posture, and lead with confidence when auditors, customers, or executives demand proof of due diligence.
