1 6707 Hardeson Rd Everett, WA USA FAX: Printed versions may not be the latest. Suppliers shall utilize the latest version which can be found on our website at INTRODUCTION: Umbra Cuscinetti, Inc. (herein referred to as UCI) is responsible to ensure purchased products and services conform to specified Purchase Order requirements. UCI s Quality Management System (QMS) is based on the international standard, AS9100, which requires that we establish procedures for selecting Suppliers and for the periodic review and assessment of the effectiveness of the control of purchased materials. It is therefore of extreme importance that we use Suppliers who can consistently deliver high quality products and services. Quality will assist Purchasing in the selection of qualified Suppliers. A primary consideration in the selection of qualified Suppliers will be the Supplier s ability to meet performance (quality and delivery) requirements of the Purchase Order. Surveys / Audits will be performed in accordance with UCI procedures to determine the potential Supplier s capability for supplying parts, or performing critical processes, as required. Selected audits and surveys by UCI and or its customers, including applicable Government agencies, will be performed on a scheduled basis to determine if Supplier s operations are in accord with contractual requirements. Results of the Surveys and Audits will be compiled, and all qualified Suppliers will be listed on UCI s Approved Supplier List. PURPOSE: This Document contains the Supplier Quality Assurance Requirements (SQAR s) and is hereby incorporated to any and all UCI Purchase Orders and the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions (Attachment A ). APPLICABILITY: SQAR s SECTION 1: Requirements herein are imposed on all Purchase Orders for products and services provided to UCI, as applicable. SQAR s SECTION 2: Requirements herein are applicable on products and services provided to UCI, ONLY when referenced on the Purchase Order. NEED ASSISTANCE? If you have any questions about the SUPPLIER QUALITY ASSURANCE applicable to a Purchase Order, please contact the UCI Buyer.
