DRS TEST & ENERGY MANAGEMENT, LLC
PROCUREMENT QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
NOTE TO SUPPLIERS
The
quality clauses in this document constitute a part of the DRS TEM purchase
order requirements. The supplier is
responsible for reviewing and meeting the clauses that apply to each item
ordered. Each new or amended purchase
order should be reviewed to ensure that all quality clause requirements are
understood and can be met. Questions
regarding these requirements should be directed to the DRS TEM Buyer listed on
the purchase order or to DRS TEM Supplier Quality Assurance at sqa@drs-tem.com.
QUALITY CLAUSE STRUCTURE
The
clauses are categorized into 100, 200, 300, and 400 series numbers as follows:
·
100-Series (QC1xx) – Standard requirements for all DRS divisions. All of the 100-series requirements apply to
each purchase order.
·
200-Series (QC2xx) – Common DRS clauses that are commodity-specific.
·
300-Series (QC3xx) – Common DRS clauses that are process-specific.
·
400-Series (TEMA4xx) – Clauses that are specific to DRS Test &
Energy Management, LLC.
If
there is a conflict between applicable quality clauses, then the higher number
clause will take precedence (e.g. a QC200-series
clause takes precedence over a QC100-series clause).
In
case of a conflict between requirements, the order of precedence shall be: 1)
Purchase Order, 2) Drawing/Print, and 3) Procurement Quality Requirements. The supplier is encouraged to contact their
DRS TEM Buyer if there are any questions relating to product requirements.
