Supplier Delivery and Quality Performance:

Quality and delivery performance are vital to the success of Exotic and its customers. Exotics’ suppliers are required to maintain 95% Quality and On-Time Delivery over a rolling 12 month period. Ratings will be reported on a scorecard provided by Exotic monthly. Quality ratings include compliance to all specifications, drawings, and purchase order requirements, including complete paperwork and certifications. On-Time Delivery (%) ratings are measured against committed delivery dates on purchase orders. Exotic accepts shipments up to ten business days early.

Product verification may be delegated to suppliers that consistently demonstrate a high standard of quality. This delegation will be at the discretion of Exotic’s Quality Manager and is based on product complexity, quality performance, and any other relevant factors. If a supplier has been approved for product verifications, a formal letter will be issued by Exotic Quality Assurance and purchase orders will note this approved delegation. Delegated suppliers must maintain a quality rating of 98% and a blended rating of at least 95% over a rolling 6 month period.
