Guidelines for Supplier Variation Requests

Guidelines for Supplier Variation Requests
When is an SVR applicable
When a supplier determines that an item is nonconforming (to Purchase Order, Drawing, Specification or Contract requirements) and requests a waiver from BAE for the specific requirement.
When a supplier identifies a drawing or specification issue/error and recommends a change to the BAE drawing. (See box 15) The request should be made prior to fabrication or as early in the fabrication process as possible.

Guidelines for Supplier Variation Requests
When is an SVR NOT applicable
To accept part quantities in excess of contractual needs.
To request a waiver for source inspection.

Guidelines for Supplier Variation Requests
If the SVR disposition requires a drawing change then upon release of the ECO, a PO revision change will be issued to reflect the new part revision Product should not ship until ECO is completed and the SVR closed.
If the SVR allows shipment of non-conforming product then the Supply Chain/Subcontracts will add a note to receiver to the PO documenting the SVR number and identify authorized quantities for shipment.
Material dispositions for ENGINEERING USE ONLY must have a change order to the purchase order for the applicable quantities and identification of the SVR number also. THE “DELIVER TO” ADDRESS ON THE PO MUST BE AN ENGINEERING LAB/FACILITY. The PO and SVR must identify to the Supplier a positive means of identifying this hardware. (I.e. tag, marks, paint, etc.)
For all non-conforming material that has been approved for shipment by the SVR, the supplier must include a copy of the approved SVR with each shipment. This includes all subsequent shipments that may occur for repairs etc.
