Verification by the customer shall not be used by Marshall Precision as evidence of supplier control. Verification by the customer shall not relieve Marshall Precision of the responsibility to deliver products, which meet all customer requirements, nor shall it preclude subsequent rejection of product due to nonconformity. When customer source inspection is imposed by contract, these requirements and method of product release shall appear on the face of the purchase order. (See QP-1006) Marshall Precision has established and maintains procedures to require physical examination, measurement and / or testing of materials parts and assemblies to ensure compliance to customer requirements. When statistical process control is a contractual requirement, a contract specific statistical process control plan is developed and approved by the customer (if required) prior to implementation (See QP-1010) Control of Production Marshall Precision plans and carries out production under controlled conditions according to documented procedures. Planning considers, as applicable: The establishment of process controls and development of control plans where key characteristics have been identified, The identification of in-process verification points when adequate verification of conformance cannot be performed at a later stage of realization, QM-1000 REV. I (2/7/2018)

27 The design, manufacture, and use of tooling so that variable measurements can be taken, particularly for key characteristics, and special processes (see 7.5.2). Controlled conditions include, as applicable: The availability of information that describes the characteristics of the product The availability of work instructions The availability of resources and maintenance of work place environment to reduce human error The use of suitable equipment The availability and use of monitoring and measuring devices The implementation of monitoring and measurement The implementation of applicable product sampling plan The implementation of release, delivery and post-delivery activities accountability for all product during manufacture (e.g., parts quantities, split orders, nonconforming product), part accountability to ensure bad parts have been destroyed evidence that all manufacturing and inspection operations have been completed as planned, or as otherwise documented and authorized, provision for the prevention, detection, and removal of foreign objects, monitoring and control of utilities and supplies such as water, compressed air, electricity and chemical products to the extent they affect product quality, and criteria for workmanship, which shall be stipulated in the clearest practical manner (e.g., written standards, representative samples or illustrations) Production Documentation Production operations are carried out in accordance with approved data. This data contains as necessary: Drawings, parts lists, process flow charts including inspection operations, production documents and inspection documents QM-1000 REV. I (2/7/2018)

28 A list of specific or non-specific tools and numerical control (NC) machine programs required and specific instructions associated with their use Control of Production Process Changes: Authorized people for approving changes to production processes are identified in the Process Control Procedure. Marshall Precision identifies and obtains acceptance of changes that require customer or regulatory authority approval in accordance with contract or regulatory requirements. Changes affecting processes, production equipment, tools and programs are documented, and procedures are available to control the implementation of changes. The results of changes to production processes are assessed to confirm that the desired effect has been achieved without adverse effects to product quality Control of Production Equipment, Tools and Numerical Control (N.C.) Machine Programs Production equipment, tools and programs are validated prior to use. Production equipment is maintained and inspected periodically. Validation prior to production use includes verification of the first piece produced to the design data/specification. Storage requirements, including periodic preservation/condition checks, have been established for production equipment or tooling in storage Post Delivery Support MPM provides post-delivery support for our customers as follows: Collection and analysis of in-service data when required by contract. Actions to be taken, including investigation and reporting when problems are detected after delivery shall be accomplished in accordance with QP-1014, Corrective and Preventative Action and QP-1013, QM-1000 REV. I (2/7/2018)

29 Control of Nonconforming Product. Product repair shall not be initiated without customer authorization. Control and updating of technical documentation and off-site work shall be accomplished with contract requirements Validation of Processes for Production Marshall Precision is responsible for the conformity of all externally provided processes, products, or services, including sources defined by the customer. Processes incorporated into deliverable product where the resulting output cannot be verified by monitoring or measurement and / or where deficiencies become apparent only after the product is in use are accomplished by subcontractors who appear on Marshall Precision Approved Supplier List, or the applicable Approval Suppliers List. When purchase orders are generated for these types of operations, the Purchasing documentation shall include, as applicable: (See QP-1006) Defined criteria for Marshall Precision review / approval for processes Requirements for approval of equipment and qualification of personnel Use of specific methods and procedures Documentation / records requirements Revalidation Requirements Identification and Traceability Receiving inspection inspects / verifies parts and materials upon receipt to ensure compliance to contract requirements (See QP-1010). Results of inspection activities are documented, and accepted product is identified with a Material Identification Tag (See QP-1008). All rejected material / parts are segregated and processed in accordance with our nonconforming product procedure (See QP-1013). Acceptable product is routed to designated storage areas or rooms until issued for production. Personnel retrieving material / parts from stock ensure traceability information on the material / parts match the requirements of the applicable Job Route Sheet. When unique traceability requirements are included in contracts, i.e. serial, lot / batch numbers and / or raw material accountability, the requirements are entered on the applicable Job Route Sheet. QM-1000 REV. I (2/7/2018)

30 The applicable drawings accompany the product throughout the production cycle thus ensuring product identification and traceability and inspection status throughout production and shipping operations (See QP- 1009). Quality Assurance is responsible to verify product identification / marking prior to release. Quality Assurance stamps are controlled to ensure product inspection and acceptance are performed by authorized personnel. According to the level of traceability required by contract, regulatory, or other established requirement, MPM s system provides for: Identification to be maintained throughout the product life; All the products manufactured from the same batch of raw material or from the same manufacturing batch to be traced, as well as the destination (delivery, scrap) of all products of the same batch; For an assembly, the identity of its components and those of the next higher assembly to be traced; For a given product, a sequential record of its production (manufacture, assembly, inspection) to be retrieved. MPM controls and records the unique identification of the product wherever trace-ability is a specified requirement Customer and External Providers Property Marshall Precision has developed procedures to ensure positive control of customer and external provided property used for inspection / test on material and / or equipment to be used in the manufacture or test of deliverable product (See QP-1007). Upon receipt, customer property is verified for quantity, damage during shipment, and proper certification as required. If equipment requires calibration, the equipment is entered into Marshall Precision Calibration System. Customer property is uniquely identified to distinguish it as being customer supplied. If customer supplied property is lost, damaged or otherwise found to be unsuitable for use, the Quality Manager is responsible to contact the customer for resolution. Records of these transactions shall be maintained. This also applies to property belonging to external providers, such as rented QM-1000 REV. I (2/7/2018)
