Vendor Quality Assurance
 

1.   To ensure that the best possible product is supplied to Astrocom Electronics by our

      vendor’s, we have established a Qualified Suppliers List to ensure all products meet quality standards set forth by our customers.

All new suppliers will be evaluated using a Self-Assessment Survey. This survey will be reviewed and rated by the Quality Assurance Manger, if accepted the supplier will be entered on our Qualified Suppliers List and notified. If a potential new supplier is denied inclusion on our Qualified Suppliers List, they will be notified of same.

By utilizing SupplierTrak Software, Astrocom Electronics is capable of rating its suppliers on a quarterly basis on their performance in the following areas:

QUALITY Pieces accepted x 100 = (QUALITY)
 
  Pieces received
 
DELIVERY* Pieces received on time x 100 = (ON TIME DELIVERY)
 
  Pieces received                          *five day grace period
 
PRICING Subjective, based on past history and other vendor’s pricing
 
SERVICE Subjective, based on all other attributes of the supplier (i.e. responsiveness)
   
  Acceptable – some form of notification that action has been taken to correct the deficiency within 1-2 phone call and/or 1 working day.
   
  Unacceptable – Action taken not to correct the deficiency within 5 days.

 

SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE LEVELS:

Excellent (preferred vendor)                                91-100%

Acceptable (improvement desired)                       81-90%

Marginal (necessary improvement needed)           71-80%

Unacceptable (possible disqualification)                Below 70%

Due to the nature of Astrocom Electronics product line, we reserve the right to use vendors that fall below the 70% level (i.e. sole source vendors). This, however, does not alleviate Astrocom from seeking out new sources to relieve the undesirable situation.

Astrocom Electronics reserves the right to conduct on-site surveys for marginal vendors to assist in determining problem areas and to resolve quality deficiencies.

NOTE:  Where price and service are affecting overall rating scores of a supplier, these areas will not be held in as high criteria as Quality and Delivery.
