Disqualification - Supplier Action

When the supplier is notified of disqualification:

  1. Supplier should immediately verify source and have any un-delivered or on-site material quarantined. This containment information should be supplied to the Logan Raw Materials group and TAA.
  2. The source of the disqualified load will be earmarked in the Logan Receiving System to prevent future scheduling.
  3. Supplier will be subject to a fee for any equipment damages and/or downtime experienced due to the contaminants in the load.
  4. Supplier should provide a root cause and effective corrective action to Logan Raw Materials and TAA. The attached CAR form is available for use, but supplier-specific CAR forms will be accepted.
  5. To reinstate a source, a requalification proposal should be submitted to TAA for review. Only after TAA approval of the corrective action and requalification proposal can a source be reinstated for delivery.
  6. Requalified sources will continue to be monitored and are subject to all standard quality requirements.
