7 7.2 STI AUTHORISATION Suppliers must ntify STI in writing f the intended selectin f Sub-tier supplier/s. This shall be dne prir t any purchase rders being placed with the Sub-tier supplier. STI will nt hld respnsibility fr Sub-tier supplier apprval; hwever STI reserve the right t reject the applicatin fr the use f selected Sub-tier supplier/s. STI hlds the right t reject any parts r services frm any nn authrised Sub-tier Surce. 7.3 SUB-TIER MANAGEMENT A supplier wh prcures prduct r services frm a Sub-tier supplier in supprt f STI rders must maintain an apprved supplier register (highlighting the sub cntract cmpanies (including stckists, distributrs and agents) 7.4 DISQUALIFICATION CRITERIA Shuld airwrthiness r regulatry requirements be vilated, immediate suspensin f all purchase rders r cntracts may be invked by STI In the event a Supplier s prduct r service quality and / r delivery achievement is fund t be unsatisfactry and / r the Supplier fails t meet the requirements f this dcument r any ther STI r STI Custmer requirement, STI reserves the right t place technical representatin at the Supplier, r the Sub Tier supplier s facility, at the Supplier s r the Sub Tier supplier s expense. 8 VENDOR RATING POLICY 8.1 PURPOSE STI s vendr rating system is a cntinuus management prcess, designed t measure, evaluate and imprve a Supplier s perfrmance, enabling STI t make infrmed future surcing decisins. The rating system is designed t meet the specific bjectives and pririties f the business, with Suppliers being measured against a standardized scale in line with SC-21 and example f this scale is detailed belw in table 2. Suppliers are encuraged t achieve a rating f Gld status as indicated in Table 1 fr all prducts which are delivered t STI. Suppliers wh fall belw Gld Status will be cntacted by STI t ensure a suitable actin plan is generated t achieve Gld Status fr future deliveries. The actin plan will be mnitred and tracked by STI. 8.2 SCORING CRITERIA Suppliers will be scred based n their quality perfrmance ver a specific date range. The rating allcated can either ffer benefits such as STI preferred Supplier r ship t line status. The rating scale is in line with SC-21 and based n percentage prduct delivered t STI defect free. The Supplier shall als mnitr their wn quality perfrmance fr prduct delivered t STI in line with the criteria belw. 8.3 APPEAL PROCESS Suppliers wh have bjective evidence t shw that they have been incrrectly rated r debited must appeal in writing, enclsing cpies f all bjective evidence, t STI within 30 days f receiving the crrespndence frm STI.
