1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This Manual is a summary description of the Electronic Measurement Group (EMG) and its basic policies. It
is intended to be used by all EMG employees, external temporary workers, EMG customers, and Business
Management System auditors (internal and external). This manual is intended to help EMG deploy its
policies, processes and organization to achieve its quality goals and comply with applicable regulations/
standards and understand the overall business processes. To view the EMG BMS Web site go to:
This Manual was written under the direction and leadership of EMG management. The owner of the EMG
Business System Manual is the EMG Business Management System Representative. The controlled copy is
located on the web: http://epsg.communications.agilent.com/quality/bms/040318_docMap.asp
Changes to this Business Management System Manual are made per the “Document Control Requirements”
process. Definitions of special terms, acronyms, and abbreviations used in the EMG Business Management
System are provided at the end of this document.
Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett formed HP in January 1939 developing test and measurement products.
Agilent Technologies was formed in 1999 as a result of a strategic realignment of Hewlett Packard into two
companies. The computing and imaging elements of the business remained with Hewlett Packard while
Agilent Technologies focused on the Communications, Electronics, Life Science and Healthcare Industries.
As of November 1, 1999 Agilent Technologies became its own company separate from Hewlett Packard.
EMG is a major group within Agilent Technologies and is a leading provider of electronic test equipment.
1.3 Scope: (4.2.2)
EMG‟s Business Management System is comprised of all the organization policies, procedures, plans,
resources, processes and the delineation of responsibility and authority, all deliberately aimed at achieving
product or service quality levels consistent with customer satisfaction and organization objectives. These
policies, procedures collectively with our quality objectives and quality policy define how EMG works and how
quality is managed. The EMG Business Management System includes EMG quality-related activities
worldwide. EMG Employees and external temporary workers follow EMG Business Management System
policies, processes and procedures. Product Conformity is measured in alignment with customer feedback
(ACS) and Agilent Technologies‟ Quality Policy. This is a Level 1 document.
EMG sites and entities are registered with, and audited by, and/or certified by regulatory standards agencies
per the agencies rules. This Business Management System Manual defines the Quality philosophy and
System in use at EMG Businesses worldwide. The businesses certified to ISO 9001:2008 are listed in the
ISO9001 certificate addenda: http://www.agilent.com/quality/EMG_ISO9001.pdf.
The EMG Business Management System complies with:
a) AgilentTechnologies‟ Policies & Procedures
b) ISO9001:2008
c) ISO/IEC 17025 (EMG complies with this standard as appropriate).

3. Business Management System Structure
3.1 Business Management System Architecture
The EMG Business Management System is a set of requirements/policies, and procedures
designed to be effective, simple, uniform, and easy to audit. The architecture of the business
management system and its description in this Business Manual is based on ISO9001: 2008
Standards and “Process Mapping”. See below for process map.
EMG Business Management System requirements, processes and procedures are common
worldwide unless there is a compelling, justifiable, verifiable and documented rationale for
variations that have been reviewed and approved by the cognizant authority. (7.2.1c)
a) EMG Documentation is structured in this tiered hierarchy.
b) EMG‟s input and output map (EMG BMS Relationship Map) depicts the flow of our overall key
processes.
The details of each key process can be found in this BMS Manual and they consist of the following:
Orders: section 7.2
Marketing: section 5.0
R&D: section 6.0
Sales Management: section 7.0
Order Fulfillment: section 8.0
Service Solutions: section 9.1
Business Management: section 4.0
Improvement Activity: This touches all elements of the organization and includes such
program as Escalations, Customer Feedback, CPI, Management Review, etc. Most of
elements can be found in section 4.0.

4. Business Management
Business Management contains many high level functions to run our organization. These functions
act as a resource while providing support and direction and are critical to success of our overall
business. EMG adheres to Standards of Business Conduct:
http://sbc.corporate.agilent.com/ch1.htm
4.1 Business Mgmt. System (4.0, 4.2.3, 4.2.4, 5.3, 5.6, 6.1, 6.2.2, 7.2.2, 7.4, 7.5.4, 8.2.1, 8.2,2,
8.3, 8.5.2, 8.5.3)
EMG implements a business management system that ensures customer requirements are fully
met through the consistency in execution and maintenance of our internal operations, which directly
affect EMG‟s ability to produce high quality products and services.
4.1.1 Quality Policy (5.3)
EMG adheres to Agilent Technologies Quality Policy, which can be reviewed at:
All EMG managers and employees support the implementation of this Quality Policy in accordance
with their roles and responsibilities in the organization.
4.1.2 Quality Education: (8.5.1, 8.2.1, 5.3b)
EMG Quality Education has the role of establishing the standard course requirements for the
Quality and Six Sigma classes to ensure consistent format and delivery to employees across the
businesses. The standard course requirements include:
Clear Learning Objectives
Available Resources
Employee Learning Assessment
Clear Linkage to Strategic Initiatives and Business Objectives
EMG Quality Education has the responsibility of working with the business units to ensure each
course will build awareness or skills in Quality/Six Sigma which can then be utilized by a business
to achieve their business objectives.
EMG Quality Education measures of success are based on the number of seats in the courses
delivered to EMG employees. Quality of the course, instructor where applicable, and the delivery of
the course is evaluated based on the employee assessment.
4.1.3 Measurement analysis improvement (8.1)
EMG has implemented monitoring, measurement, analysis and improvement of processes and
tools at the appropriate levels to demonstrate conformity, ensure conformity, and continually
improve the effectiveness of the BMS (e.g. CFS; Quality Bluebook; OBD).
The current version is available at the EMG Document Map website: http://emg.communications.agilent.com/quality/bms/040318_docMap.asp

4.1.4 Customer Property
EMG exercises care with customer property while it is under the organization‟s control or being
used. Each area will use local processes to record and track the status of customer property in the
rare instance when EMG receives customer products or property. If customer property is lost,
damaged or otherwise found to be unsuitable for use, this is reported to the customer and records
are maintained locally. (Examples of customer property: government contracts, special handling
specification, product or test equipment).
4.1.5 Core Documents/Processes
EMG‟s quality management system is defined and shown in the EMG Process Map. Details of
specific processes we are required to use can be found in the EMG Documentation in Webdoc or
the Agilent Technologies web site.
http://epsg.communications.agilent.com/quality/bms/040318_docMap.asp
