Subcontractor Monitor and Control
Overview
Almost all large corporations rely on subcontractors to provide specialized services. This reduces any exposure to the
changes in the business climate and eliminates the need to invest heavily in plant and equipment. Downside risk of
unit costs, capacity, and cycle times can be minimized by entering into strategic partnerships with subcontractors
and by implementing a clearly defined system of checks and balances.

to perform final electrical testing.
Subcontractor Selection, Assessment, and Control
We must ensure that services provided by our subcontractors meet both internal and external requirements.
Consequently, we have implemented a comprehensive system to select, assess, and control our subcontractors.
The selection process relies on a cross-functional team, which typically consists of representatives from the relevant
engineering, procurement, quality, reliability, and manufacturing groups. All subcontractors are subjected to a qualification
process in order to verify the quality of their work prior to the commencement of production part processing.
After a subcontractor passes qualification and is deemed to be approved, a single quality or reliability incident may result
in subsequent disqualification.
Also, we utilize a detailed subcontractor assessment questionnaire in order to identify gaps between Atmel and
subcontractor quality system requirements. All gaps must be addressed prior to the utilization of a new subcontractor.
Each group using a subcontractor defines its requirements for cost, cycle time, and delivery. Subcontractors must also meet
Atmel’s Global Quality and Reliability requirements that
Subcontractor Performance Tracking
All major subcontractors are evaluated through the use of periodic standardized scorecards. Established programs
are in place at each site to drive continuous improvement in each of these areas.
