Our 8D Template Logistics / Quality
Quality concern should be considered even for a small quality. We always expect a fast and effective support from our suppliers.
We don’t request corrective actions for each non-conformity. Please follow instructions on our NCR when a 8D report is requested. We also appreciate a documented answer with evidences of actions.
First Article Inspection FAQ
- Will Amphenol send me back a copy of the validated FAI (First Article Inspection) ?
Not necessarily, a return will be formalized in case of detected non-compliance. The FAI will then be rejected and re-requested. - I am delivering a catalogue / COTS product to Amphenol, is the FAI required?
No, in this case, please notify the contract review so that we can issue an order without the required FAI mention. - I do not use an FAI despite the mention on the order. What is the problem?
Deviation from the contract. Reception will be blocked pending receipt of the duly completed and signed documents. An RNC will be issued. - I provided an FAI at the previous delivery (less than 2 years), why am I being asked for one again now?
If a Non-Conformity is detected, we reject the FAI and ask for one again on the next order. It may also be that the request comes from a customer need, or a change in design (plan, specification, material...), etc... - I don't have any support documents for the FAI report. What should I do?
