  6. Product Quality Improved • Process Maintained Under Control • Quality Built-In; Not Added On! • Process Controls Replace Final Inspection • Use of SPC (QSLM Only; select commodities) • Achieve Earlier Corrective Action on Deficiencies • Important in High Production Environment (Fasteners) • Less Waste; Minimizes Rework • Material Protected from Deterioration • Especially Applicable to Bulk Metals • Quality Control Established at • Point of Supply Q

  9. Key Elements of QSL • Technical Criteria • Application Package • Site Survey • Qualification • Audit

  10. Criteria Development • Core Quality Program Requirements • Unique Product Characteristics • Commercial Sector Visits • Recognized Industry Practices • Pre-Qualification Conference • Manufacturer/Supplier Feedback • Finalize/Issue Document

QSL- Supplier Evaluation Process(Simplified Version) May be multiple iterations DSCP-ITA Supplier Chgs Processes to Improve Quality EVALUATE Process Controls vs. QSL Criteria RECEIVE Supplier QSL App Start Corrective Action Feedbk to Supplier Does NOT meet req’mt Meets req’mts OEM Refs Req’mts NOT met after multiple tries 3-Yr Renewal Cycle NO Refs REJECT Supplier Verify OEM Audits DCMA Facility Survey Periodic Follow-up Audits Get Test Samples Evaluate Results Eligible for Awds Does NOT meet req’mt Qualify for QSL OR Continue Qual Status Meets req’mt

  20. Qualification Process Summary • Applications Reviewed by DSCP • Quality Manual Evaluated • vs. QSL Criteria • References Validated or • Site-Survey Conducted • Qualification Approval or Corrective • Action • Bid via Procurement Gateway App’d by DSCP

  21. Emphasis Points • Supplier Delivers Conforming Product • Each Facility Location Must be Qualified • Full Traceability is Essential: • QSLD Supplies QSLM Product • Supported by Unbroken Documentation Trail • Typically, from Raw Material to DSCP Customer • thru ALL Intermediate Processors • Re-Qualify at 3-Year Intervals • No Fee to Participate!
