Abstract : What is an Authorized Aftermarket Manufacturer

The newly released DFAR requires that electronic parts must be procured in a tiered approach starting with the Original manufacturer, or Authorized suppliers(distributors and aftermarket manufacturers) as Tier 1. The new DFAR requires that contractors use Tier 1 when parts are in production or currently available in stock. Small contractors are not exempt from the new requirements. The consequences of counterfeits entering the DoD supply chain are found to outweigh consideration for usual small business exemptions. The Original Component Manufacturers define an Authorized Aftermarket Manufacturer in the JEDEC specification JESD-243 this way: Authorized Aftermarket Manufacturer: A manufacturer that meets one or more of the following criteria. a) The aftermarket manufacturer is authorized by the original component manufacturer or intellectual property (IP) holder to produce and sell parts, usually due to an original component manufacturer or IP holder’s decision to discontinue production of a part. Parts supplied are produced from material that has been 1) transferred from the original component manufacturer or IP holder to the aftermarket manufacturer [usually in the form of die/wafer and test program(s)], or 2) produced by the aftermarket manufacturer using original component manufacturer or IP holder tooling and/or intellectual property (IP). b) The aftermarket manufacturer produces parts using semiconductor dice or wafers, manufactured by and traceable to an original component manufacturer or IP holder, that have been properly stored until use and are subsequently assembled, tested, and qualified using processes that meet the original component manufacturer or IP holder’s technical specifications without violating the original component manufacturer or IP holder’s intellectual property rights (IPR) and are authorized by the original component manufacturer or IP holder. c) The aftermarket manufacturer, using reverse engineering, produces parts that match all of the original component manufacturer or IP holder 's specifications and satisfy customer needs without violating the original component manufacturer or IP holder 's intellectual property rights and with the original component manufacturer’s or IP holder 's authorization. The significant difference between this definition is that it requires the AUTHORIZATION from the OCM or IP holder. The OCM or IP holder is the only body who can Authorized the manufacture of their products

Abstract :JESD-243, Who is it intended to serve.

JESD-243, WHO IS IT INTENDED TO SERVE The newly released JESD-243 is a JEDEC document intended to serve the Original Component Manufacturers, Authorized Aftermarket Manufacturers and other manufacturers who produce electronic components under their own Logo, name or trademark Where it says “electronic components” it means specifically monolithic microcircuits, hybrid microcircuits and discrete semiconductor products The intent of the specification is to improve the manufacturers quality systems to ensure that they are not feeding the Counterfeit supply chain with material. Within the Purpose section of the specification is states: “this document establishes requirements, practices, and methods for additional mitigation of the risk of counterfeit parts entering the supply chain”. For some unknown reason this document has been reviewed and commented on by individuals as not meeting the requirements of OEM’s, their subcontractors or other contract manufacturers who use the electronic products in question, even though it is specifically stated within the purpose and scope of the document that these are not the intended audience for the specification. OCM’s and Aftermarket Manufacturers by definition do not produce counterfeit materials. JESD-243 supplies establishes additional requirements not found in traditional Quality standards such as MIL-PRF or ISO to mitigate the risk of nonconforming products from Manufacturers from reentering the supply chain. Additionally it gives guidance to the Manufacturers of what should be in their counterfeit mitigation policy and their counterfeit electronic parts control plan. .
