Performance Review Institute Qualified Products Listing

January 30, 2014

Definitions

• QUALIFIED PRODUCTS LIST (QPL): A listing of products from manufacturers who have received a PRI product qualification to a specific aerospace standard for specific product designations and plant locations.

• QUALIFIED PRODUCT GROUP (QPG): A committee mandated by the QPMC responsible for assessing whether manufacturer's products comply with the relevant aerospace standard. The committee is composed of members from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Government Agencies.

• QUALIFIED PRODUCT MANAGEMENT COUNCIL (QPMC): The committee that manages the Qualified Product Process/Program.

PRI QPL Program Background

QPL - A document which lists qualified manufacturers who have met the product qualification test requirements to a specified industry standard for specific part numbers and plant locations

1996 1998 2014Pilot program Industry Managed

PRI QPL Program

DoD Acquisition Reform Military specifications with QPL’s

posed a problem for non-government

standards to convert

Preserve value-added aerospace specification requirements

PRI championed pilot program, with

organizational concept SAE committee volunteers

Pilot program success PRI QPL program formally

established Standard Development

Organization (SDO) guidelines created and

approved by SAE Aerospace Council -

1999

More than 30,000

Purpose of the Aerospace QPL Program

• Maintain a list of manufacturer’s critical products where those products have been qualified as meeting specific industry standards.

• To manage the review process of submitted data and other materials reviewed by the QPG.

4

Motivation

• Users (OEMs/Government/Airlines)– Collaboration with other OEMs/Government/Airlines– Reduce costs by reduced need for in-house/outside lab testing– Uses consistent qualification procedures/standards– Maximize competition without the loss of quality– Avoid cost associated with maintaining User QPLs (testing,

qualification, administration)• Suppliers

– Typically lower costs than when qualifying products to User standards/specifications

– Utilize initial qualification data to a wider industry base– Eliminate redundant testing and qualification processes– Ensure fairness among suppliers– Utilize consistent approach to qualification of product
