The DMSMS Conference is a place where the government and its contractors come together to learn best practices for the management of “Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages” AERI President, Robb Hammond, will be presenting a comprehensive overview of the AS6081 standard, which was created to provide guidelines for independent distributors of electronic components to avoid counterfeits. The AS6081 standard, and an associated electronic component distributor, are integral pieces of a materials shortage plan. If you or your company is concerned about the possibility of receiving counterfeit electronic components from your component distributor, AERI can help you come up with a plan to help you mitigate the dangers of a counterfeit escape. For more information, please contact one of our search experts. To find out more about the DMSMS 2015 conference, please visit http://www.dmsmsmeeting.com/index.html
