I. Introduction and Overview This site was originally published in November 2001 as a method for our suppliers to communicate with our Material Review personnel. Up until this time all communications between suppliers and Material Review were done via paper mail and fax. This proved to be a slow, time consuming process often resulting in delay and lost paperwork. The Supplier Quality Management site was developed as an electronic front end to our Quality Assurance Document System (QADS) which is used by floor level personnel in our factories to document nonconforming product. This allowed the electronic submittal of documents for Material Review disposition. Since that time the system has evolved into an electronic portal which gives our suppliers access to many types of document submittals, purchase order information, contact information, and access to our listing of approved processors (QCS-001). For those suppliers with delegation authority, it also allows the supplier to identify their personnel authorized to act on Lockheed Martin behalf. II. System Requirements The system is designed for use with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or better, only. The use of other browser software is not recommended or supported. Many of the features of the system depend on the Microsoft Internet Explorer capabilities. The system also requires the user to have 128-bit encryption capability. III. Accounts a. Obtaining Accounts are issued to individual users, not a company. There are two basic steps to obtaining an account. First the applicant must be listed in the Lockheed Martin Material Management system as a contact for the supplier involved. For security purposes, the listing of contacts is done by the buyer, Procurement Quality Assurance Representative (PQAR), or Procurement Quality Assurance Engineer (PQAE) involved with the supplier. The system administrator does not add contacts. This assures that the person requesting access is an employee of that supplier and it is agreed that they require access. Once the applicant is sure they have been listed as a contact, they proceed to step two. The second step of the account creation process is automated. The applicant visits the Lockheed Martin Material Management website and completes the on-line account request form. The system checks the eligibility of the applicant by assuring that they are a contact for the supplier involved. When filling out the application the applicant should use the same 6-digit (Fort Worth or Marietta) or 5-digit (Palmdale) supplier number under which they are loaded as a contact. Once the applicant is approved, the system generates the account and emails the initial account information back to the applicant. A temporary password is provided. This password must be reset on the first login of the user. - 2 -

Note: User accounts not used for extended periods of time (more than 90 days) will be subject to inactivation without notice. b. Password Resets Passwords are good for 45 days. When a password expires, the user is prompted to change the password as they log in. Password may not be repeated. A new password must be established. Password resets are automated. When a user cannot remember their password the system prompts them to be sure they do not have their caps lock on and also provides a link for the user to request a new system generated password. This system compares the userid and email address of the requestor to that listed on our system. If they match, the new password is generated and emailed to the user. If the email address of the requestor does not match that on file in our system, the system administrator is notified. Only the account owner can request a password reset. Requests for password resets by someone other than the account owner will be denied. c. Removal When a user leaves a company it is important that the management of the company in question contact the applicable Lockheed Martin Material Management buyer, PQAE, or PQAR to have system access removed. This may be done by phone call or email. The email should contain the name, userid and justification for the removal of the account. IV. Main Menu a. Supplier Information i. Supplier Performance This portion of the website allows the supplier to access their Quality Rating and Delivery Rating documents. Those documents are the same as the ones emailed monthly to the supplier management. They are stored in Microsoft Snapshot format. This portion also allows the supplier to see rejections against their product and delivery records by site. These are a 12 month running record of rejections and deliveries. The rejections are separated into those that occur at a Lockheed Martin facility or at the supplier facility. The delivery information is separated by the deliver to site. These are the same records that the supplier quality performance indicators are generated from. You can also see the supplier initiated rejection documents initiated at your facility under supplier initiated rejections. These documents also represent those created in the last 12 months. ii. Supplier Summary The supplier summary page gives the supplier a quick snapshot of vital information. It lists the PQAEs and PQAR assigned to them. It also lists the contacts contained in our system for their company. It lists the supplier personnel with access to our system. It also lists the processes they are approved by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics to perform. - 3 -

iii. Purchase Order Information This screen allows the supplier to see all of their purchase orders. The screen allows the search of both open and closed purchase orders. It allows a search for a specific purchase order. It allows for the selection of purchase orders that do or do not require source inspection. It also allows for a date range and sort preference to be set on the search criteria. It displays the part number, order quantity, quantity received, unit of measure, deliver to plant, LM Aero buyer responsible, and next contractual delivery date. iv. Supplier Personnel With Access This page gives a listing of all supplier personnel with access to the Lockheed Martin Supplier Quality Management system. It also displays the status of their password. Passwords listed in red expired on the date shown and must be updated on the next logon. Passwords in black are current and will expire on the date shown. v. Supplier Delegated Source Authorized Personnel Some Lockheed Martin suppliers carry a delegation authority. When this is the case, the suppliers can show which personnel at their facility are authorized delegates by adding and deleting delegates on this page. In order to be a delegate, the person must have an account on the system. b. Supplier Initiated Documents i. View Document List This page allows the user to view the current active documents submitted to Lockheed Martin and those closed documents not older than 45 days. They may be sorted by document type. Documents in the draft state may be edited and saved pending more editing or an action of releasing it to LM Aero may be taken. Once submitted for review the document can no longer be edited. Note: Documents older than 45 days can be viewed from the Supplier Performance screen under supplier initiated rejections. ii. Submit a New Document Note: Submission of any type document is now a two step process. The document is first initiated and saved. Then the document is then released for preliminary LM Aero review by taking the appropriate action (see description below). This is a change in the process from before. 1. Supplier Quality Assurance Record (SQAR) - 4 -

This type of document is initiated when the supplier needs a Material Review disposition from Lockheed Martin Aeronautics.

Documents Returned for Correction / Clarification Sometimes a document does not contain enough information for a material review disposition or an answer concerning a drawing or specification. When this occurs the person working on the disposition of the document may return it to you for correction or clarification. If this occurs, you will be notified by email of the action. The email will give you a link directly to the document in question. You may also find the document manually by logging on the system and going to the document listing. The status of the document will show as Returned for Info/Correction. Edit the document to satisfy the request, and then save it. The release for preliminary review action must be taken again to return the document to LM Aero for disposition. iv. Re-submitting a Document for Disposition Change Under certain limited conditions a document may need to be re-submitted for a Material Review disposition change. For example, the accomplishment of the disposition will result in another discrepancy. This action would be used to challenge the disposition - 13 -

received on the first submittal. To re-submit a document the user goes to the document listing and locates the document in question. Click on the actions link. Click on the submit disposition change request action, in the comments field type in the rationale behind the disposition change request and click on take action. The rationale should give the person reviewing the original disposition enough information to justify a change. Once the action is taken the document is returned to LM Aero for additional review. v. Re-open for Re-submittal Under certain conditions a document may need to be re-opened for the submittal of additional discrepancies. For example, during the manufacturing process a part is identified as nonconforming. A document is initiated and a disposition is rendered and accomplished. Later in the manufacturing process an additional discrepancy is noted. The original document may be re-opened and another discrepancy added. This allows a single document to contain all discrepancy data regarding the part(s) in question. To reopen a document for re-submittal the user goes to the document listing and located the document in question. Click on the actions link. Click on the re-open for resubmittal action and click on take action. This will change the status of the document and display an edit button. The additional discrepancy(s) is then added to the document using this edit button. Also please remember that in this case the document must be saved and the release for preliminary review action must be taken by the initiator just as it was done with the original submittal. c. Engineering Requirements i. LM Aero Approved Processors QCS-001 This section of the website is dedicated to the QCS-001 approved processor listing system. This system is used to find approved processors to perform controlled processes imposed by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics engineering and as a result of a purchase order requirement. If your Lockheed Martin Aeronautics purchase order imposes QCS-001 then you must use this site to locate Lockheed Martin approved processors. This system is also used by other Lockheed Martin divisions as a source of approved processors for flow down on their purchases to their suppliers. This site has its own help and instructions section available on the QCS-001 home page. d. Purchasing Agreements i. Fasteners Lockheed Martin makes available a listing of fasteners where a right-to-buy purchasing agreement exists. If the Subcontractor has a desire to use the competitive pricing of LMC Fastener Purchasing Agreements in support of LMC Products, the Subcontractor should: - 14 -

Notify your LM Aeronautics Buyer of desire to use LMC Agreement pricing. Subcontractor provides Part Numbers, Quantity per S/S and its Unit Price in Excel format to LM Aero Buyer. LMC will provide pricing from Corporate Agreement Database to LM Aero Buyer. LM Aero Buyer will notify Subcontractor of items where savings are possible. If Subcontractor wishes to use LMC Fastener Agreement pricing, they should submit signed Form F1258, Notice to Eligible Subcontractors Letter, to LM Aero Buyer. LMC Group Purchasing Agreement Coordinator will provide Form F1261, Listing of Authorized Corporate Agreements Letter, & Agreement information to LM Aero Buyer for transmittal to Subcontractor. V. Website support and information If you need help in determining when to submit a document, what kind of document to submit, or have any other questions regarding purchase order or drawing requirements, your Lockheed Martin Aeronautics buyer or Procurement Quality Assurance Representative is your best resource for information. If you have technical questions regarding the use of the site or system, they may be submitted to the email address listed on the main Material Management home page under Quality Requirements -> Corrective Action. - 15 -
