Packaging Supplier Quality Agreement / SLA (Outline)

Use one controlled working copy

This work often starts during new supplier; audit; recurring quality dispute. Name the program, affected SKUs, current document revision, owner, and decision date so different teams do not build from different versions.

• Record quality agreement and mark it confirmed, assumed, or still open.
• Record sLA and mark it confirmed, assumed, or still open.
• Record specs and mark it confirmed, assumed, or still open.
• Record responsibilities and mark it confirmed, assumed, or still open.
• Record performance metrics and mark it confirmed, assumed, or still open.

Commercial handoff

Keep annual usage, ordinary order or release quantity, destination, timing, current supplier commitments, ownership, and one-time charges separate from technical requirements. That makes the next RFQ or review easier to audit.

• Attach the current package, specification, artwork, quote, or order history when available.
• Name the person who can approve the next step.
• Write down exclusions and temporary conditions.

Close the loop

Turn every open item into an owner and due date. Preserve the final decision with the evidence used, rather than leaving it in an email thread or meeting memory.
