MATERIAL CLASSIFICATION/CERTIFICATION. Each material has an internal classification or Inspection Code that defines incoming testing and release criteria. Codes are established during qualification and upgraded or downgraded based on ongoing material performance. If pre-shipment samples are required, please submit with enough lead time to allow for QC testing and release of the material prior to delivery. If Certificates of Analyses or Test Reports are required, and aren’t included with the shipment, please assure that the data is emailed timely to and aligned with the Properties Testing Requirements on the material spec. Please assure that lot numbers on certs or samples are consistent with lot numbers on the incoming shipment. This will allow our receiving department to verify QC release when material is delivered. For each property reported, please quote your internal or standard Test Method used to release, the material, together with a Revision or Effective date: i.e. ASTM D-1777-96 or internal method. NOTE: Our continuous improvement goal is to minimize receiving inspection by upgrading raw material classification from testing to acceptance based on vendor test reports or vendor process capability. This flowdown of verification activities will require total commitment from our vendors to assure that we receive high quality material. Occasionally, we may require vendors to perform blind testing on a returned sample. VENDOR PERFORMANCE RATING. Supplier score cards generated & distributed monthly to those top 20% suppliers, representing 80% of monthly spend. Non ISO 9001 suppliers will have score cards generated, monitored, & distributed on a quarterly basis. (rev.A) The Performance Rating is a weighted average of Quality (65%) + Delivery (30%) + Premium freight (2.5%) + customer disruption (2.5%) . Non-conformances include all defective materials, whether returned, destroyed or consumed a deviation. We define on time as received - 4 days + 0 days of the due date. Shipment will be accepted within -5% +10% of ordered quantity. Quality = total $$ nonconforming X 100 total $$ purchased Delivery = # of deliveries on time X 100 total # of deliveries Premium Freight = # of instances X 100 total # of deliveries Customer Disruption = # of instances X 100 total # of deliveries
