Q.  How Can ManEx help Manage & Mitigating the Risk of Counterfeit Components?

• Material Risk Code - this is an optional field used in inventory control, and MRP.  It allows users to establish risk procedures and ensure that buyers are following those procedures.
• Product Data Management  - users can attach component documentation to each part within the system.  This can be part specs, images, markings, etc.  This information is electronically distributed to purchasing, receiving, and production.
• < Inspection and First Article Requirements - users can indicate if a component always requires incoming inspection and first article or enforce the inspection for any given order as needed.
• Supplier ratings* - based on supplier performance over time, users can establish supplier ratings to help identify at-risk or restricted suppliers and thereby reduce the risk of counterfeit components
• CofC tracking - users can indicate CofC requirements and automatically communicate those requirements to suppliers.  They can also upload the CofC into ManEx providing electronic documentation of component compliance.
• Purchase Order Notes - Once at-risk components are identified, buyers can communicate requirements to suppliers, and receiving.
