Description / Abstract:
This Strategic Raw Material Supplier Qualification Profile
(SRMSQP) isn't intended to satisfy all of the customer's
requirements, however conscientious maintenance of this document
and/or registration to ISO 9000 requirements should satisfy the
major concerns. Thus, audits should be simpler, required less
frequently, and facilitate less paperwork, as vendors and suppliers
work closer to meeting each other's needs.
Contents This SRMSQP is divided into six
sections. Each section is dated and maintained as a separate
entity.
These sections cover:
Description of the site/facility
Description of products manufactured at the site
Approvals and certifications from third party organizations
Description of total quality management (TQM) in place or being
implemented at the facility
How to use this SRMSQP The SRMSQP can be used
for single or multiple sites or locations. Information about the
overall company is helpful in establishing the relationship of the
existing site(s) to the total company. The first page of Section 3
is intended to convey this information. The remainder of the SRMSQP
is devoted to information about existing site(s).
The laminate manufacturer should keep all sections current. In
the initial contact between the manufacturer and a new customer, an
abbreviated SRMSQP may suffice (site description from Section 3 and
Section 4). The remaining sections of the SRMSQP provide details of
the site manufacturing capability and the quality principles that
have been incorporated into the systems used to manufacture
products. This information is of use to the user in assessing where
the organization stands on implementing quality and technology. The
same data also helps the customer in determining how well the
manufacturers' capability matches the customer need.
SRMSQP Electronic Format Users of this document
can use the electronic SRMSQP, an MS Word template with editable
fields. IPC has made this document available electronically1 for
ease of completing, updating, and filing the SRMSQP, as well as to
give the laminate manufacturer and customer a common interface.
Using the template enables laminate manufacturers to maintain
several customer specific files without the endless stream of
paperwork.
Editable fields are highlighted in gray. To complete the fields
in the template, use the TAB key to toggle from field to field.
The developers of this SRMSQP strongly suggest the person at the
laminate manufacturing facility responsible for creating and
maintaining the SRMSQP write protect the file to be sent.
