Key Technology Supplier Manual 1.2 7 Revised: June 1, 2012

3.4 Product Design When suppliers are designated as design responsible, initial designs and design changes shall have Key Technology’s written approval prior to introduction into the manufacturing process. Supplier shall request approval using the Supplier Request for Approval (SRA). 3.5 Key Technology Assets/Property When Key Technology assets/property are furnished to the supplier, supplier shall establish and maintain controls to ensure that the assets/property are inspected, properly maintained, uniquely identified, safeguarded, and that damage and/or discrepancies are reported to Key Technology immediately upon finding.

Note: Key Technology assets/property can include intellectual property and personal data. 3.6 End Of Life Issues The supplier is expected to notify Key Technology promptly when they become aware of products that may be reaching the end of their availability and that could affect ongoing supply to Key Technology. 3.7 Supplier Chargeback Guidelines Receipt of nonconforming material/product at Key Technology may result in a chargeback to the supplier on a fair and equitable basis.

• The supplier will be notified in advance of any potential charges and will be provided the opportunity to replace, sort, or rework their material/product to address the nonconformance. If time is a factor, Key Technology may need to sort or rework to avoid missing a customer shipment. In either case, any charges will be negotiated and agreed to by the supplier prior to costs being incurred.

Note: Examples of what may constitute a chargeback typically include, but are not limited to, reworking product at the customer’s location, rework/sorting at Key Technology, rework/sorting via a third party, scrap, and shipping/handling fees (including premium shipment).

3.8 Nonconformance Found at Key Technology and Corrective Action If a nonconformance is detected at Key Technology, product will be quarantined and dispositioned. If the product is determined by Key Technology to not be usable, it may be dispositioned to return to the supplier. Key Technology will notify the supplier of the nonconformance and request return material authorization (RMA). The supplier is responsible for responding to the RMA request within 5 working days. Appropriate responses include issuing an RMA, disputing the nonconformance, or making other arrangements for disposition. After disposition of the product, a formal Corrective Action Request (CAR – Appendix C) may be issued through the Key Technology Quality Assurance department.

Key Technology Supplier Manual 1.2 8 Revised: June 1, 2012

• Upon receipt of the CAR the supplier is responsible for formally responding to Key Technology. o A response through D3 – Implement and Verify Interim (Containment) Actions is

required within 3 days, and o A completed CAR is required within a 14 day period unless otherwise agreed by the Key

Technology issuing Quality Assurance department. • In all situations where there are deficiencies and/or defects the supplier is to implement

immediate corrective action to contain and permanently correct the problem. Suppliers to Key Technology are expected to implement and support a system of structured problem solving. Suppliers are welcome to use their systems or the Key Technology system as long as a cross-functional team is able to identify the root cause of a problem and implement permanent corrective actions. Root cause analysis and corrective actions shall address both the process failure (why made) and the detection failure (why shipped). Suppliers should evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective actions for long-term system support within their company. 3.9 Returned Nonconforming Product The supplier shall have a system for review and analysis of returned nonconforming product. The system shall allow for documentation of the findings including root cause, corrective action, and verification, and shall be made available to Key Technology when requested. Nonconforming material includes all products that fail to meet all agreed requirements, whether found at incoming inspection, during production at Key Technology, or at Key Technology’s customer, and includes those items that fail prematurely in use.

5. Supplier Performance Rating Based on the level of business with Key Technology suppliers may be selected for evaluation. The evaluation will address quality, delivery performance, and service. The Supplier Performance evaluation will be scheduled in advance. 5.1 Supplier Report Card Suppliers are evaluated in multiple categories, including on-time delivery, order accuracy, service and support, product quality, and price, and the individual category scores are weighted and summed to calculate the supplier’s score. The overall supplier rating is based on the final score, with suppliers rated as Good Standing, Issues to Resolve, or Unacceptable. 5.2 Unacceptable Status Suppliers with an unacceptable status will need to show quarter over quarter improvement and provide a formal agreed upon improvement plan. If by the next scheduled performance evaluation sufficient improvements have not been made, Key Technology may stop placing new orders, place existing orders on hold, or both. 5.3 Unplanned Supplier Business Review Meetings Suppliers not given routine evaluations may still be asked to meet with individuals from Key Technology if there are continual issues that are impeding shipments to our customers. The goal will be to address the issue to provide effective closure. The unsatisfactory performance may involve:

• Overall Quality Performance • Delivery Performance • Poor Responsiveness • Corrective Action analysis/response • Recurring Issues • Rejected/Late First Article Submissions

5.4 Supplier Development Key Technology will be afforded the right to assist the supplier in development of their systems and/or processes when:

• The performance level of the supplier falls below an expected level • The supplier requests assistance in the development of systems • Key Technology requirements are not being met

Whenever Key Technology deems it necessary to develop a supplier, an action plan is initiated by Key Technology and is communicated to the supplier. The supplier is responsible for providing the necessary resources for successful completion of the action plan.

3. Plated and Painted Products

A. General - The criteria provided in this section relates to visual appearance of parts which have been plated, painted, or both. Of major importance are those surfaces that will be highly visible on critical surfaces; somewhat less stringent requirements are imposed in other areas. Major Defect – The type of defect that: • Is clearly visible in an un-highlighted condition • Exposes bare metals or substrate surface • Exceeds stated criteria or other specific requirements • Is easily felt with a fingernail (dents or scratches) • Would leave a greater flaw if removed or reworked (inclusion) • Is non-uniform surface finish (shaded appearance) • Would cause corrosion, rust, peeling, delamination, etc. Minor Defect – The type of defect that: • Is clearly not visible in an un-highlighted condition or when assembled into an assembly • Barely felt with a fingernail • Tends to fade out or blend in with surrounding surface • Would be concealed during next process or assembly level Normal Viewing Plane: The normal viewing plane is defined as the view obtained when observing the assembled unit top, front, sides, and back exterior surfaces in a plane perpendicular to these surfaces. The part will not be rotated except to eliminate any glare from surrounding light that tends to produce a “highlighted” condition.

Page 33: SUPPLIER MANUALgo.key.net/rs/key/images/Supplier%20Manual%201%202.pdf · 2012. 6. 1. · 150 Avery Street . Walla Walla, WA 99362 +1 (509) ... Supplier Code of Conduct - Released

Released: May 23, 2011

Light condition: 75 – 90 foot candles Viewing distance: These are appropriate based on the part in an installed position. Surface Class A: 18 inches Surface Class B: 36 inches Surface Class C: in excess of 36 inches not to exceed 72 inches Viewing Time All surfaces 10 seconds maximum

B. Surface Classification - Surfaces are grouped into three categories for inspection purposes: Class A – User's Primary Product Exterior: Doors, chassis skins, cabinet tops, rack mount flanges, control panels, exposed areas of cabinet frames; Any surface that is normally and immediately visible to the customer or end user while the product is being used in its normal operating condition and visible to the user without opening service doors. These surfaces will be free of all major defects and reasonably free of any minor defects. Defects on these surfaces are likely to be seen and associated with a perceived reduction in the overall quality or appearance of the product. Note: Slight imperfections characteristic of individual process capabilities may be visible on Class A surfaces. Acceptance of these slight imperfections shall be judged on an individual basis. Class B – User Access Interior: Chassis skins, cabinet and enclosure tops, internal control panels, interior side of enclosure and card cages, power distribution, front panels, interior items with user information / silk-screening; areas which are visible when the user access doors are open. Expected to appear consistent, of good integrity, and with limited appearance of flaws. These surfaces may have some minor defects but will be free of all major defects. Minor defects on these surfaces are not likely to be seen or viewed as a perceived reduction in the overall quality or appearance of this product. Any surface that can be seen from the front (but not the front surface of the unit) with the unit and/or cover plate removed. Any surface that is visible from the rear after installation, or the rear surface of the individual removable option card. For example, rear panels, side panels, top and bottom surfaces are commonly Class B surfaces Class C – Structural Interior: Areas not visible without disassembly. Coatings are for corrosion protection only. Class C surfaces may have any or all minor defects and some major defects.

Page 34: SUPPLIER MANUALgo.key.net/rs/key/images/Supplier%20Manual%201%202.pdf · 2012. 6. 1. · 150 Avery Street . Walla Walla, WA 99362 +1 (509) ... Supplier Code of Conduct - Released

Released: May 23, 2011

Defects on these surfaces, if seen by the customer, are not likely to be regarded as detracting from the overall cosmetic or functional quality of the product. Interior surfaces or areas to be covered by labels or other panels are examples of “C” surfaces.

C. Acceptance Criteria - Three acceptance designations are used in the following table to describe the criteria. None Allowed – No occurrences of the attribute are permissible. Items with this designation are typically functional in nature, and will result in product degradation. These attributes are not subject to the cursory inspection described below. Not Apparent – Attribute is not discernible in the final application of the part. Attributes with this designation are aesthetic in nature. Visual inspection for aesthetics is to be conducted in a manner which best duplicates the end use of the part. The preferred viewing angle and distance being that which would exist if the part was installed in its final location, and the inspector is standing where the operator would stand while using or accessing the equipment. Minimum viewing distance should be three feet. The intention of the aesthetic inspection is to avoid usage of parts which detract from the appearance of the final product. Inspection time is limited to that which is necessary to scan (cursory inspection) all areas of the part. Acceptable – Aesthetic in nature; will have no effect on the function of the part and will not detract from the appearance of aesthetic viewpoint. Some flaws may have acceptable as well as not-acceptable attributes, e.g. a scratch which does not break the surface of the coating may be acceptable (depending on the class of surface), whereas if the coating is broken, there is a coverage void (Not Acceptable). Characteristic Class A Class B Class C Scratches None Allowed Not Apparent Acceptable* Tooling Marks None Allowed Acceptable (Uniform) Acceptable (Uniform) Corrosion None Allowed None Allowed None Allowed** Coverage Voids None Allowed None Allowed None Allowed** Non-Adhesion None Allowed None Allowed None Allowed Blisters None Allowed None Allowed None Allowed** Burns (Plating) None Allowed None Allowed Acceptable Color Variegation None Allowed Acceptable Acceptable Color Deviation Not Apparent Not Apparent Acceptable Rinse Stains None Allowed Not Apparent Acceptable Finger Printing None Allowed Not Apparent Acceptable Orange Peel None Allowed Not Apparent Acceptable Paint Runs None Allowed Not Apparent Acceptable * Any apparent scratches after plating will not be allowed. For scratches that are not apparent there cannot be removed metal and the scratches may not be detected by feel. ** Acceptable if repaired, providing that corrosion is removed prior to repair, area void of coating is supplemented with paint, and that the defect is not merely a symptom of further problems with the coating.

Appendix E – Traceability Requirements Certain critical components have the potential to require field action to rework, repair, or remove from service a subset of all production parts due to manufacturing or design defects. To ensure that Key Technology is able to quickly locate suspect components and protect its customers from the effects, it is necessary to establish traceability requirements for major assemblies and critical subcomponents.

A. Engineering will identify items that require identification and serialization on the engineering print or specification. When required, the finished item shall be permanently identified with: • Part Number • Revision Level • Serial Number

The exact location and means of identification shall be defined in the engineering print or specification.

B. The serialization format shall include traceability to the date of manufacture. The preferred

serialization method follows the following format: SSS YY DDD nnn SSS = Supplier Code – last three digits of the Key assigned supplier code YY = Last 2 digits of the year DDD = Day of year/Julian date nnn = sequentially assigned within that day’s production For example, the Serial Number 26511045003, would be read as: 265 – Computrol 11 – 2011 045 – February 14th 003 – Third unit made that day

C. When an assembly contains serialized components, the traceability information (Part Number,

Rev., and Serial Number) of the included serialized components shall be recorded at the time of integration, and a searchable computer record maintained.

Appendix F

Released: December 30, 2011

Key Technology Supplier Code of Conduct At Key Technology, we have always set high standards for the way we conduct business - in areas from corporate and social responsibility to sound business ethics, including compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. In turn, we expect the same commitment from our suppliers. While Key Technology recognizes that different cultural and legal systems exist in the countries in which its suppliers operate, this code of conduct sets forth certain basic requirements that all suppliers to Key Technology must satisfy as a condition of doing business with us. Compliance with the Law. Suppliers will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in all locations where they conduct business. Health and Safety. Suppliers will provide their employees with a safe and healthy workplace in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Consistent with these obligations, suppliers must have and implement effective programs that encompass life safety, incident investigation, chemical safety, ergonomics, etc., and provide the same standard of health and safety in any housing that is provided for employees. Suppliers should strive to implement management systems to meet these requirements. Child Labor. Suppliers will not use child labor. The term ’child" refers to any person employed under the age of 15 (or 14 where the law of the country permits), or under the age for completing compulsory education, or under the minimum age for employment in the country, whichever is greatest. We support the use of legitimate workplace apprenticeship programs which comply with all laws and regulations applicable to such apprenticeship programs. Forced Labor. Suppliers will not use forced or involuntary labor of any type (e.g., forced, bonded, indentured or involuntary prison labor); employment is voluntary. Harassment or Abuse. Suppliers will treat all employees with respect and will not use corporal punishment, threats of violence or other forms of physical coercion or harassment. Nondiscrimination. Suppliers will not discriminate in hiring and employment practices on grounds of race, religion, age, nationality, social or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, marital status, pregnancy, political affiliation, or disability. Working Hours. Except in extraordinary business circumstances, workers shall not be required to work (inclusive of overtime) more than the legally prescribed limits or 60 hours, whichever is less, and one day off in every seven day period shall be provided. Production facilities shall comply with applicable laws that entitle workers to vacation time, leave periods and holidays. Wages and Benefits. Wages are essential for meeting the basic needs of workers. Workers will be compensated by wages, including overtime pay and benefits which satisfy all applicable laws and regulations.

Page 37: SUPPLIER MANUALgo.key.net/rs/key/images/Supplier%20Manual%201%202.pdf · 2012. 6. 1. · 150 Avery Street . Walla Walla, WA 99362 +1 (509) ... Supplier Code of Conduct - Released

Released: December 30, 2011

Freedom of Association. Suppliers shall respect the legal rights of employees to join or to refrain from joining worker organizations, including trade unions. Suppliers have the right to establish favorable employment conditions and to maintain effective employee communication programs as a means of promoting positive employee relations that make employees view third-party representation as unnecessary.
