Mercury's supply chain is an extension of our own quality commitments — partnering with suppliers who share our standards for quality, delivery, and continuous improvement.
Mercury's supply chain is an extension of our own quality commitments. We hold our suppliers to the same standards we hold ourselves — and we invest in relationships with partners who share our commitment to quality, delivery, and continuous improvement.
Approved suppliers hold ISO 9001:2015 or equivalent certification. For aerospace and defense supply, AS9100 or NADCAP accreditation may be required. Suppliers without formal certification must demonstrate equivalent quality controls through an on-site assessment.
All shipments must be accompanied by a Certificate of Conformance (C of C) signed by an authorized representative, confirming the material or part meets all applicable specifications and requirements on the purchase order.
Material certifications (mill certs) must be provided for all raw materials and supplied per Mercury's purchase order requirements. Certs must be traceable to the specific heat/lot shipped.
Mercury expects on-time delivery performance of 95% or better. Suppliers are expected to proactively communicate any potential delays and propose corrective actions with root cause analysis for delivery failures.
Suppliers must notify Mercury before making any changes to processes, materials, sub-tier suppliers, or facility locations that may affect the form, fit, or function of supplied items. Written approval is required prior to implementing changes.
When a nonconformance is issued, suppliers are expected to respond with a documented root cause analysis and corrective/preventive action plan within 10 business days unless otherwise specified.
