Root Cause Failure Analysis and Counterfeit Component Detection: Tools, Practices, and Case Histories
Nick Warren has been the featured speaker at a number of ASQ chapters in the Midwest, discussing Root Cause Failure Analysis and the importance of understanding the Physics of Failure when solving problems in industry. For those unfamiliar with this topic, the analytical instrumentation and disciplined approach of Failure Analysis is similar to what is seen in the popular TV series CSI. Nick’s lab does not solve crimes against humanity like CSI. Instead, they solve the most challenging technical problems found in industry!
In addition to Failure Analysis, Nick will discuss the pervasive multi-billion dollar problem that Counterfeit Components are having on many industries. Counterfeit components are sold each year to unsuspecting OEMs, contract manufacturers and consumers with devastating results. Counterfeiters are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making detection more challenging and requiring the use of advanced counterfeit detection techniques.
Come ready for an interactive multi-media presentation where Nick will share compelling case histories and insights from over 25 years of experience! As time permits, Nick will field your most difficult questions regarding component failures (material, mechanical and electrical). This presentation will be technically informative for those working in the quality, procurement, manufacturing, design, component, and process engineering disciplines.

Nick Warren manages the Exelis Product Assurance Lab, a world class failure analysis lab located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Nick has spent 26 years in failure analysis, 14 as an engineer and 12 years as manager of a large multi-disciplined staff of engineers and scientists. The Exelis Product Assurance Lab charter includes performing analytical work for defense, aerospace, biomedical and commercial companies outside of Exelis. Nick and his staff have expertise in performing failure analysis on a broad range of components, ranging from mechanical fasteners to microelectronic devices and printed circuit board assemblies. The Product Assurance Lab is knowledgeable in most industrial manufacturing processes, material science topics, environmentally-assisted failure mechanisms and electronic component failure mechanisms.
