Purchaser s representative

The manufacturer will, on request of the purchaser, conduct tests as called for in specifications on reasonable notice from the purchaser. During the tests, the manufacturer will afford opportunity to the purchaser s representative to present. 

After advance notification of the vendor by the pnr-chaser, the purchaser s representative shall have entry to all vendor and subvendor plants where manufacturing, testing, or inspection of the equipment is in progress. 

When specified, the purchaser s representative shall indicate compliance in accordance with the inspector s checklist (Appendix N) by initialing, dating, and submitting the completed checklist to the purchaser before shipment. 

The purchaser s representative shall have access to the vendor s quality program for review. 

All quality records are legible and identifiable to the product involved. Quality records are stored and maintained in such a way that they are readily retrievable in facilities that provide a suitable environment to minimize deterioration or damage and to prevent loss. Retention times of quality records have been established and recorded. Where agreed contractually, quality records are made available for evaluation by the purchaser (client) or the purchaser s representative for an agreed upon period. 

Purchaser s representative. Names the person authorized to represent the purchaser in dealings with the provider. 

Compliance with gas cylinder rules (with their latest amendments) and all relevant codes of design, fabrication and testing is a must. Stage inspection clause should be put in work order. Final test must be carried out in the presence of the purchaser s representative and should be as per statutory requirements. It is better to test the vessel again after installation as per standard procedures.

The manufacturer and the purchaser should agree upon detailed cleaning and quality control procedures. A source inspection by the purchaser s representative at the manufacturer s location is desirable. The purchaser should initially and periodically inspect the manufacturer s facilities and audit the cleaning and quality control procedures. 

The purchase price of some instruments may include set-up and check-out by a manufacturer s representative. In such cases, the laboratory operator should only check for physical condition of a shipment and call the representative about its arrival. Other equipment will generally be set up at its permanent location as soon as it is unpacked and checked. Supplies will be taken to their designated storage areas. The accompanying warranty cards should be filled out and mailed as soon as possible. 

Note This table lists corresponding (not necessarily equivalent) International Materials which may be acceptable with the purchaser s approval. These materials represent family/type and grade only. Final condition or hardness level (where appropriate) is not specified. Materials listed for pressure applications may be utilized for non-pressure applications. All wear part material combinations must be selected in accordance with the requirements of 2.6A.2. 

Our customer or our customer s representatives are afforded the right to verify at the source or upon receipt that the purchased product conforms to the specified requirements. Product verification by the customer does not absolve our operation of the responsibility to provide a fully acceptable product, nor does it preclude subsequent rejection. When our customer carries out product verification at a vendor s plant, such verification is used as evidence of effective quality control of the vendor. 

Where required by the contract, the proposed use or repair of product (see 4.13.1b) that does not conform to specified requirements is reported for concession to the purchaser or the purchaser s (client) representative. The description of nonconformity or repairs that have been accepted is recorded to denote that actual conditions do not, in fact, conform to the acceptable standard (see 4.16). 

Once installed in the purchaser s plant, the first three development batches should be used to carry out in-depth process capability trials (with the manufacturer s engineering representative possibly in attendance). The process capability trial is the best opportunity to establish not only the capability of the equipment, but also the in-process checking necessary to ensure batch consistency. The trial will require multi-comparison data ... 

A second relationship-building component is personal visits. The purchaser s supplier development team visits at least one supplier a month. They also have supplier representatives come to visit their plant to discuss process improvement corrective actions. This reduces the burden of travel for either group, but allows both groups to remain in close personal contact. This personal contact focuses on the supplier s actual process steps, and it provides the necessary history for open discussions about mutual problems and goals. 

The type of instrument to be purchased for general use in the electrical industries is a difficult choice because there are so many different types on the market and every manufacturer s representative is convinced that his company s product is the best. However, most instruments can be broadly grouped under two general headings those having analogue and those with digital displays. 

Likewise, the requirement for limiting the particle and fiber contamination is necessarily dependent upon actual service. Therefore, the user is urged to review component, equipment, and system requirements. If the purchaser s requirement does include a particle and fiber count, some industries have found that a representative square-foot section of surface must show no particle larger than 1000 microns and no more than 20 particles per square foot (215 particles/m ) between 500 microns and 1000 microns. Isolated fibers of lint should be no longer than 2000 microns, and there should be no accumulation of lint fibers. In some cases, lower particle size and populations may be necessary depending upon actual service. The seller and the purchaser shall agree to the equipment and procedure used to verify particle and fiber count, or both. 

The more complex items of equipment, in particular complete packaged units, often require visits by supplier s representatives (SRs) to supervise the critical phases of erection, testing, commissioning and start-up. Their presence may even be continuous rather than on a visit basis. The purchase order will normally define the points at which visits are to be made and the costs and payment arrangements of such visits. Visits may be related to the question of guarantees, so it is important that they are organized on a sound basis. These services can be expensive, so the EPCM contractor needs to be firmly in control. This means ... 

Once basic requirements and secondary objectives have been established, the prospective purchaser will find it easier to discuss details with sales representatives. From the latter s viewpoint, it is easier to talk to a potential customer who knows what he needs from a mass spectrometer system rather than to a customer who has only a vague idea of what is required. In fact, an uninformed customer can end up purchasing an expensive instrument that is far too good for the analyses required or, at the other extreme, a cheap instrument that is inadequate for immediate needs, let alone ones that might arise in the near future. 

The recycle weapons fuel cycle rehes on the reservoir of SWUs and yellow cake equivalents represented by the fissile materials in decommissioned nuclear weapons. This variation impacts the prereactor portion of the fuel cycle. The post-reactor portion can be either classical or throwaway. Because the avadabihty of weapons-grade fissile material for use as an energy source is a relatively recent phenomenon, it has not been fully implemented. As of early 1995 the United States had purchased highly enriched uranium from Russia, and France had initiated a modification and expansion of the breeder program to use plutonium as the primary fuel (3). AH U.S. reactor manufacturers were working on designs to use weapons-grade plutonium as fuel. 

You may not possess any documents that describe the purchased product. The only identity may be marked on the product itself or its container. Where there are no markings, information from the supplier s invoice or other such documents should be transferred to a label and attached to the product or the container. Documents need to be traceable to the products they represent.
