QMP 8.1 Award Review

Purpose

The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidance on when an award review is or is not required, the process for conducting the award review, and to identify those customers that require notification of "significant" process changes. This procedure is separated into Non-Fabrication Awards and Fabrication Awards as they are handled differently.

Scope

Non-Fabrication Awards:

The Head of Sales has final authority on when an award review is required.  Typically an award review is required when:

• New Customer / New Programmed Part.

• Existing Customer / New Programmed Part, and part is not a member of a common family of parts.

• Existing Customer / New Programmed Part, necessitating the creation of a new master bucket.           

• Trial Order for new or existing customer

• Parts that have been inactive for twelve or more months, and are being reactivated or having a new forecast entered.

• A determination has been made that an award review is required for reasons other than the above (e.g., it is determined that an existing account requires additional review).

The Head of Sales has final authority on when an award review is required.  Typically an award review is not applicable in the following conditions:

• Pure spot order / Non-programmed Part (no knowledge at the time of order that the item will repeat).

• Existing Customer / New Programmable Part, when the part is within a common family of current parts (no new specifications requiring review).
