A Supplier Profile Application within Intelex is a requirement for direct material manufacturing locations
and distributors of direct material conducting business with Nexteer. Indirect material and service suppliers
see note below. Suppliers are required to maintain their supplier profile in the Supplier Profile Application.
Failure of the supplier to review this Information on an annual basis will result in a deduction of points on
the Supplier’s Balanced Scorecard. Suppliers can and should update changes at any time during the year.
Suppliers are required to maintain information consisting of:
• Quality Certification (refer to Section 4.3) – The latest valid and complete quality management system
certificate shall be posted in the Supplier Profile Application
• Customs Program Requirements (e.g. CTPAT, OEA, etc.) Reference section 8.5.4
• Contact Information including but not limited to the supplier’s Product Safety Representative

The following are maintained by Nexteer:

• Manufacturing Capability Assessment (MCA) - Reference section 8.4.1.2

• New Business Hold (NBH)

Note: Regarding indirect material and service suppliers: It is a requirement for any supplier of sequencing,
sorting, rework, software development, service packaging, and calibration services that conduct business
with Nexteer, to maintain their profile in the Supplier Profile Application including the appropriate quality
certificate (Refer to section 4.3) within the Supplier Profile application. Logistics providers should refer to
section 8.5.4, Shipment Security.

To better utilize our systems, we recommend that your organization create a group mailbox within your
email client. A group mailbox such as nexteerapps@supplier.com will allow your organization to manage
the users that would receive communication for the Nexteer systems. This email address can then be the
email address associated with the one user ID in the Intelex system, as well as be used for any other
communications from Nexteer. The benefit of having this group mailbox allows for communications to still
be received by your organization regardless of vacation, leave, or employee responsibility changes. If you
are unsure how to create or use a group mailbox, please contact your local IT support group.
