Training? Audits1Supplier Communication Policies - Key AspectsIntroduction? GM is serious about electronic data exchange and collaboration with suppliers in a win-win scenario? Supplier investment in electronic commerce must be viewed as simply a cost of doing business? If requested GM will help obtain services for suppliers? A program’s Statement of Requirements is the ultimate mechanism to ensure specific requirements are identifiedMath-Based Data? Native UG is the common currency of GM-supplier data exchange? Design responsible suppliers must work in UG? Tier 1 suppliers are responsible that delivered data is in UG and are responsible for translationsTelecommunications? Suppliers may be required to maintain a minimum bandwidth? Suppliers may be required to use ANX? No new Infranet access by suppliers is permitted; ANX must replace current ones by 1/31/00Data Management? Design responsible suppliers must use a version of IMAN designated by the program.2Supplier Communication Policies - Key AspectsApplication Software? Suppliers must use UGS software versions compatible with their program, which will be identified in the Statement of Requirements? GM will make reasonable efforts to maintain common versions of software across programs? Deployment of new versions will be directly communicated by GM to involved suppliersHardware? Suppliers will be required to use hardware of appropriate capacity and performance levels Training? Suppliers will be required to comply with GM training requirements and standards? GM will provide information regarding multiple sources of trainingAudits and Security? GM reserves the right to conduct audits of supplier compliance with GM policies and stated requirements, including those addressing data security and physical security ? A GM-approved supplier remediation plan will be required if non-compliance is identified3Supplier Communication PoliciesIntroductionGM is moving aggressively toward the electronic exchange and sharing of digital product andprocess data with its suppliers, and the elimination of other forms of exchange such as digitaltapes and hard copy.GM is committed to making its collaboration with suppliers a win-win situation, in which thebenefits are fairly distributed as well as the expense. The rapid advance of automationtechnology, including the availability of common operating systems across multiple computerplatforms, has driven down costs, easing the investment burden of this new way of doingbusiness. If requested, GM will help obtain provision of related services from third partyproviders.Suppliers will use, and will be assisted in using, exchange and collaboration capabilitiesappropriate for their respective roles. GM policies that govern program-supplier interactionsaddress math-based data, telecommunications, security, data management, user applicationsoftware, hardware, and training. In many instances, minimum requirements will be specifiedor preferences will be noted. Summary information is provided in this document. Details forspecific program-supplier interactions will be included in the applicable Statement ofRequirements (SOR).GM will periodically conduct readiness reviews of suppliers to assess their respective abilityto comply with the letter and spirit of GM electronic digital data exchange and collaborationobjectives. Results will be shared with each supplier, and joint efforts will be identified asappropriate to address shortfalls. Supplier readiness will be a major factor in the award4process.Supplier Communication PoliciesMath-Based DataAll design-responsible suppliers will generate GM data deliverables usingUnigraphics.All suppliers will receive and/or deliver data in native UG format electronically.Data tapes and hard copy will not be an approved mode of data transfer.Tier 1 suppliers must ensure that data from their Tier 2 and Tier 3 supplierscomplies with GM’s math data requirements and non-disclosure constraints.Any data translations between a Tier 1 supplier and its Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliersare the responsibility of the Tier 1 supplier. Wherever translations are used, GMendorses the STEP application protocols.Note: The document GM-Supplier Math Technology Information, provides details.It can be accessed through www.gmsupplier.com.5
