2.0 Introduction
This Quality Assurance Manual was developed to provide information pertaining to Quality Management
System (QMS) activities associated with the supply of goods and services focused on continual
improvement.
The manual was written in accordance with customer and ISO/TS 16949 Quality Management System
Requirements.
The Quality Management System activities are individually detailed in the form of Standard Operating
Procedures (SOPs) which state the company's policy and procedure relative to the QMS process and
the ultimate product.
The Quality Management Systems manual and SOPs are living documents; the policies contained
herein are subject to revision as manufacturing methods, competition within the industry, and customer
expectations evolve.

training, teamwork opportunities, and tools that will allow all employees to do their
best work
*C&H’s quality policy and goal is founded on Complete Customer Service both of
which are included in the Strategy Statement above.
7.4 Purchasing
7.4.1 Purchasing Process
C&H ensures that purchased product conforms to specified purchase requirements. The type and
extent of control applied to the supplier and the purchased product is dependent upon the effect of the
purchased product on subsequent product realization or the final product.
C&H evaluates and selects suppliers based on their ability to supply products in accordance
requirements specified by the customer and / or C&H. Criteria for selection, evaluation, and re-
evaluation is established. Records of the evaluation results and any actions arising from the evaluation
are maintained as prescribed in section 4.2.4.
NOTE 1 Purchased products above include all products and services that affect customer requirements
such as subassembly, sequencing, sorting, rework and calibration services.
NOTE 2 When there are mergers, acquisitions or affiliations associated with suppliers, the organization
should verify the continuity of the supplier's quality management system and its effectiveness.
7.4.1.1 Statutory and Regulatory Conformity
C&H ensures that all purchased products or materials used in product conform to applicable statutory
and regulatory requirements.
7.4.1.2 Supplier Quality Management System Development
C&H works with suppliers to develop their quality management system with the goal of conformity to this
Technical Specification. Conformity with ISO 9001:2008 is the first step in achieving this goal.
NOTE The prioritization of suppliers for development depends upon, for example, the supplier's quality
performance and the importance of the product supplied.
Unless otherwise specified by the customer, suppliers to the organization shall be third party, registered
to ISO 9001:2008 by an accredited third-party certification body.
7.4.1.3 Customer-Approved Sources
Where specified by the contract (e.g. customer engineering drawing, specification), C&H purchases
products, materials or services from approved sources.
The use of customer-designated sources, including tool/gauge suppliers, does not relieve C&H of the
responsibility for ensuring the quality of purchased products.
7.4.2 Purchasing Information
Purchasing information describes the product to be purchased, including where appropriate:
a. requirements for approval of product, procedures, processes and equipment
b. requirements for qualification of personnel
c. QMS requirements
C&H ensures the adequacy of specified purchase requirements prior to their communication to the
supplier.
7.4.3 Verification of Purchased Product
C&H has established and implemented the inspection or other activities necessary for ensuring that
purchased product meets specified purchase requirements.
Where C&H or C&H’s customers intend to perform verification at the supplier’s premises, C&H states
the intended verification arrangements and methods of product release in the purchasing information.
7.4.3.1 Incoming Product Conformity to Requirements
C&H maintains a process to assure the quality of purchased product (see 7.4.3) utilizing one or more of
the following methods:
a. receipt of, and evaluation of, statistical data by the organization;
b. receiving inspection and/or testing, such as sampling based on performance;
c. second or third-party assessments or audits of supplier sites, when coupled with records of
acceptable delivered product conformity to requirements;
d. part evaluation by a designated laboratory;
e. another method agreed with the customer.
