quality, responsiveness, delivery, cost, and environment called TQRDCE. Company-wide guidelines for the TQRDCE process may be found on this Global Sourcing TQRDCE Site: http://gsce.supplychain.agilent.com/direct_matls/tqrdce.asp

The businesses determine which suppliers are subject to periodic performance evaluation and maintain the records from such evaluations

Examples of Strategic Supply Management in EMG: SSM has a supplier performance measurement survey tool that allows users to enter input and access results. The survey tool, results, calendar and other SSM TQRDCE information can be found at this link: http://emg.communications.agilent.com/ssm/

Examples of key metrics: Material cost reduction as a percent of spend, inventory levels in days of supply on hand, on-time delivery in days early or late, and defect rates in parts per million, percentage of parts delivered over time, or number of dead-on-arrival (DOA) products.

8.3Manufacturing (7.3.4, 7.3.6, 7.5, 7.6, 8.2.3, 8.3)

EMG OF manufactures or manages the manufacture of the vast majority of EMG products and has the responsibility to ensure that products are manufactured to EMG‟s manufacturing and quality standards and supplied to the customer in a timely, cost-effective manner. EMG OF also provides replacement assemblies to EMG Service Centers & customers and also performs factory calibration of customer instruments when required. Example of key metrics: Quality, Delivery and Cost.

8.3.1 Production (7.5, 7.5.5, 7.6, 8.2.3, 8.3)

a)The Material Handlers assigned to the various Production Lines will pull the necessary materials from stock as part of their daily duties.

b)Assembly & Test: Assemble instrument according to production schedule. Perform functional test (7.3.6). Non-conforming material is identified as per procedures #E103 Agilent Control of Non-conforming Product. (8.3)

c)System Integration (where appropriate to business): Assemble system according to customer order and perform system tests.

d)Calibrate: (8.2.3, 7.6) The process of calibration is defined in related documents:

EMG Calibration Policy:

EMG Calibration System Manual (includes control of subcontracted calibration section 4.5)

e)EMG uses the Agilent level Design & Manufacturing Processes to determine workmanship

criteria. Web site for the list of Agilent‟s Design and Manufacturing documents:

Design and Manufacturing Document List, Design Standards Users Group

f)ESD (Electro Static Discharge) control is a quality requirement in EMG. The EMG ESD Control Manual contains the minimum control requirements that must be followed. Compliance is required at all sites where ESD-sensitive electronic devices are manufactured, assembled, tested, serviced, configured, installed, handled, packaged, stored or supplied by OEMs. Each entity/business has appropriate local controls to ensure EMG ESD Control requirements are met." Web site for the EMG ESD Control Manual: http://sharedoc.collaboration.agilent.com/sites/emg-quality/sd/emg-bms/esd%20control%20docs/esd_control_manual%20-%20epsg1039112.pdf

g)Handling and storage of product will be determined by the local area, but will include identification, packaging, and proper protection of product.
