This presentation will go through critical definitions of Authenticity, Commercial Traceability, Reliability, Quality, and the Authorized Aftermarket so that the attendees will have a better understanding of the metrics required to ensure mission-critical components are appropriately being purchased. One of the bigger mistakes being made today in component procurement is associating or confusing Authenticity with Reliability and Quality. Nothing could be further from the truth. OCM test will be touched upon so there is an appreciation for the complexity of what the OCM’s do when they test a component – highlighting how different this is from a purely datasheet testing approach. This presentation will also attempt to clarify the many flavors of “Authorized” to try and shine a light on the ambiguities within the market and more specifically the Authorized Aftermarket.
