Supplier Assessment Form New

Supplier Quality & Techinical Assesment
Guidelines for Conducting Assessments

The Supplier Assessment is to be a process assessment and should accurately reflect the Supplier's actual
manufacturing and quality processes, as evidenced on the manufacturing floor. The Assessment should
validate that the day-to-day operations comply with the requirements detailed in the Assessment. It is
insufficient for a Supplier to have documented procedures only.
Recognizing that some suppliers have the capacity to provide multiple commodities, it is encouraged that the
appropriate technical assessment be completed in parallel with the quality assessment portion. There is also a
"Quick Assessment" worksheet that can be completed as part of a general overview or visit of a supplier's
facility. Recognizing that this is a very general overview only, a detailed quality and technical assessment
should always be completed prior to award of new business, substantial increase of existing business or in
response to poor supplier performance and/or elevated risk.
For each audit section, the required evidence/documentation is described on the Assessment Form. The
Assessor should also use the "Observations & Notes" field to help clarify and explain their findings. A "High",
"Medium" or "Low" Risk status will automatically be generated by the score assigned to each element. The
Summary Score for each particular element of the Operational/Quality portion, will automatically be reflected
on the Audit Cover Page and the total number of high risk elements will be shown. The risk summaries for
each Quick and Technical assessment completed, should be manually entered on the cover page, as well.
All areas assessed as High Risk must have a defined Corrective Action Plan detailed, as well as dates defined
for completion, prior to award of any new business. Aside from the "High" risk elements, corrective action
shall be at the discretion of the Assessor. The goal of Corrective Action is to eliminate all "High" risk elements
in addition to attaining a minimum score of 80% for each audit section. The "Corrective Action Plan" contained
within the Assessment file, shall be used to track all corrective action activity.
Subsequent follow-up activity, and subsequent Assessments to validate implementation of

Corrective Action, shall be the responsibility of the originating Magna Group and Supplier
Quality/Development Engineer, and must be initiated with the award of business, at the latest. If
the Assessing Group does not source business with the Supplier, development activity shall
become the responsibility of the sourcing Group/Division, as defined by their Business Rules .
It is at the discretion of the particular Magna Groups to base sourcing decisions on the final score attained.
Each Groups' Business Rules shall define the selection criteria to be used. The aim of an Assessment is not
simply the generation of a score. The ultimate aim is to identify and address areas of systemic failure driving
undue risk to our Groups and Divisions, and therefore proper resolution and closure of "High" risk items, is
critical.
Assessment results are for site-specific manufacturing facilities. If a supplier has two or more manufacturing
locations, all locations require a separate Assessment.
