1 Cessna - Interiors Manufacturing Facility (IMF) Supplier Quality System Requirements Wichita KS Effective: Rev. IR Page 1 of Introduction This document establishes Cessna Interiors Manufacturing Facility s (IMF) quality requirements for suppliers. These requirements apply to Manufacturers, Distributors, and Special Processors providing parts or services when this document is specified by inclusion on purchase order or contract issued by Cessna - IMF. It also advises suppliers that their quality system, facilities, and those of any sub-tier supplier are subject to site evaluations by Cessna - IMF, Cessna- IMF customers, and regulatory agencies. These requirements are not applicable to suppliers that only provide product, which is ready-made and available for sale to the general public and not specifically designed for the aerospace industry (this product is also known as commercial off-the-shelf [COTS]). The classification of a supplier as COTS is at the discretion of Cessna IMF s Quality organization. In the event that the purchase order or contract conflicts with the requirements of this document, the purchase order or contract requirement will supersede. The Quality Manager of Cessna - IMF must approve deviations to the requirements included herein.
