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.

4.2 Strategic Planning (4.1.c, 4.2.1a, 5.4.1, and 7.1) The strategic plan is developed at the EMG level encompassing all business processes and stating

the direction, leadership, and transformation required to meet specific goals. EMG will improve customer satisfaction and earn unrivaled loyalty through personalized customer relationships. Capitalize on our product leadership. Create customer value and intimacy through innovative systems, high-valued services and support solutions and accelerate EMG business process transformation.

EMG has yearly strategy reviews at the Group level to ensure plans are consistent with changing market conditions. EMG focuses on customers, competitors and our offerings. After the strategy review, our annual financial plan is developed (SCALE: short term commitment and long term estimate) using the SPR (strategic plan review) as the baseline for profitability and ROIC (return on invested capital). Tactical reviews are held quarterly to review financial results, NPI revenues, market share, customer satisfaction, and employee satisfaction.

4.2.1 Acquisitions: a) Corporate Development (CD): Supports the ongoing assessment of Agilent‟s enterprise business portfolio to identify candidates for active abandonment or investment. CD insures strong links between the enterprise and Group strategies, focusing Agilent‟s overall prospects for top line growth and value creation. This site is designed to support the needs of those involved in transactions, integration, strategic planning, and new ventures within the businesses and corporate functions. http://corpdev.agilent.com/

b) EMG has developed an Acquisition Lifecycle (ALC) process that provides the EMG business with additional acquisition support not specifically covered by corporate development personnel and processes. ALC Web site, ALC Standard

4.2.2 Discontinuance/Obsolescence strategy is determined in each business. The EMG

Discontinuance Plan is the key document that is used to plan and execute the discontinuance and

final obsolescence of products at the end of their lifecycle. The Discontinuance Plan is split into several sections, and a cross-functional team is required to address these sections effectively.

The Corporate Discontinuance Process can be found at:

http://wcosedoc.cos.agilent.com/stellent/groups/plc/documents/end_users/019602.doc

4.2.3 Technology Development: (7.1) a) The Technology Leadership Organization (TLO) as the central technology organization, leads

the creation of EMG Strategy, makes R&D portfolio decisions, delivers breakthrough technology with clear competitive advantage, executes EMG R&D programs, guides EMG level architecture, and manages and improves EMG R&D Processes.

http://emg.communications.agilent.com/tlo/

b) EMG also links to Agilent Labs to identify and transfer breakthrough technologies into our

businesses. http://web.labs.agilent.com/

Outsourcing includes: 1) the decision to purchase a product rather than make it internally; 2) the subsequent selection of a qualified supplier; and, 3) the management of the on-going relationship with the supplier. The materials purchasing process description in Section 8.2 applies after the decision, often called the “make versus buy” decision.

The General Manager of each business is ultimately responsible for the decision to outsource any product in their business that significantly affects conformity with customer, stakeholder, and regulatory requirements. Once the decision to outsource is made, responsibility for control falls on the immediate management of the operation responsible for the product, and the supply-chain management professionals that assist them. The degree of control for the outsourcing depends on the significance of the outsourcing on product conformity and whether the outsourcing concerns a new or existing product.

The EMG Product Lifecycle (PLC) process establishes the recommended management checkpoints and basic considerations for the control of product lifecycle transitions, including outsourcing for new product introductions and manufacturing, if the new product is taken to market.

A complementary general framework for the selection and management of EMG contract manufacturers is found in here: #epsg1043961. Outsourcing procedures are determined at the local level and typically described in the Quality Procedures Manual and/or other local process and procedures.

In some cases strategic suppliers are shared across local operations in EMG or its business divisions. In these cases, one entity may be tasked with managing all or part of the outsourcing on behalf of the others. The Strategic Supplier Management team is an example. They manage the overall business relationship with EMG‟s top-level strategic contract manufacturing and component suppliers.

4.3 Management Review (5.6) Top management for the business, reviews selected key quality and business measures to be evaluated on at least on an annual basis and conducts a comprehensive quality review annually. The Business Managers have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring regular management reviews are conducted for their organization. As a result of such reviews, changes may be made to any aspect of the quality management system including the quality policy and/or objectives to improve suitability, adequacy or effectiveness.

7.2 Customer Contact Centers

EMG‟s Customer Contact Centers (CCC‟s) are responsible for management of customer interactions from quotation to invoice processes while adhering to the quality management system.

CCC‟s are a Field Operations entity within EMG SSSQ (Sales, Service, Support and Quality) with demarcated global presence into four major regions (ie: Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and Japan). In each region the Business Centers and Contact Centers make up a CCC regional unit.

The CCC organizations typically consist of four core functions:

- First Contact (FC): Primary contact for all customer interactions with the goal to resolve a maximum proportion of requests without further handoff.

- Customer Relationship (CR): Manages orders, customer escalations and issue resolution. CR is an end-to-end bridge between FC and CS.

- Commercial Services (CS): Focuses on non-verbal customer transaction management such as quotations, order entry and invoicing.

- Contracts Administration (CA): Creates and administrates customer Purchase Agreements and structuring of pre-sales contracts strategies.

Each region has typically one Business Center focusing on back-office tasks and one to several Contact Centers focusing on customer interactions.

This model is followed globally except where specifics of each region are taken into account to better suit customer requirements within that region.

7.2.1 Customer Interaction Management

Customer Interaction processes are managed by First Contact and Customer Relationship teams.

First Contact‟s focus is on the prompt fulfillment of any customer inquiry. Any special customer requests or resolution of customer issues are managed within the Customer Relationship Team.

The First Contact team is responsible for all initial voice (phone) and non-voice (e-mail, fax, and web) interaction with customers and business partners. Their objective is to qualify and fulfill the requests in an expedient manner or when appropriate transfer the request within CCC or to business partners like sales, technical support or to another business organization for further resolution. Key FC responsibilities is to help customer in checking product availability or service capability, providing information on marketing promotions, checking customer entitlement for service repairs and calibration, and providing order and service status. In general, FC takes ownership of customer issues to satisfy/delight customers by providing real time help and responses to a wide variety of customer requests.

The Customer Relationship team is responsible for managing customer interactions that require escalations. They also make outbound communications related to the management of sales, support orders and agreements, negotiate changes on orders or service delivery schedules, and initiate Service Recovery and Customer Feedback.

7.2.2 Lifecycle Management of Orders

The Lifecycle Management of Sales and Service Orders is managed by Commercial Services and

the Customer Relationship teams. Commercial Service‟s focus is on the efficient lifecycle

management of orders. Any exceptions, specific customer requests, and changes in requirements are owned by the Customer Relationship team.

Job specialization within the Commercial Services team allows focused management of customer‟s

orders:

1. Sales Order Management – Management of sales order lifecycle for hardware and software products, parts and services sold upfront (e.g. extended warranty, training, consulting). Key

processes performed include quoting, booking, and acknowledgement of customer‟s orders

using the ERP system, fulfilling deliveries, order changes, cancellations, product returns, corrective transactions and billing.

2. Service Administration – Management of service orders. Service orders are primarily related to the maintenance, system uptime support, and repair of equipment. Service Administration is comprised of two functions – Support Agreements Administration and Support Order Management.

8. Order Fulfillment

EMG Order Fulfillment (OF) is a constituent part of Agilent Order Fulfillment (AOF). The ultimate vision for the function is “To build a best-in-class order-fulfillment and supply-chain function with strong gross margins and high customer satisfaction”

EMG OF Org Chart –

http://ofsc.business.agilent.com:81/About%20AOF/EMG%20OF%20Org%20Chart%20(F)Feb.pdf

8.1 Planning (7.2.1a, 7.2.2c, 7.5)

8.1.1 Demand Planning (forecasting) (7.2.1a, 7.2.2.c)

Demand Planning can be one using statistical forecasting tools or sales forecasting and creates a plan for future customer orders. Forecast accuracy is measured and utilized to improve the demand plan and processes. Demand planning includes the process to generate product plans, schedule orders into the manufacturing system (ensuring proper staffing).

8.1.2 Supply Chain Planning and Scheduling (7.4)

Supply Chain planning creates a supply plan that considers supply chain constraints (i.e., inventory, lead times, etc) and forecasted customer requirements and actual orders to create and execute shipment plan. Customer orders are promised against the supply chain plan and in some businesses against customer/service delivery schedules.

8.2 Materials Purchasing (7.4, 7.4.1, 7.4.2, 7.4.3, 7.5.5)

Materials purchasing management in EMG is led out of the manufacturing divisions. Purchasing departments typically are organized as a function reporting to business unit sub-division management. The Strategic Supplier Management (SSM) assists the businesses with managing alliances with top-tier strategic suppliers. The EMG Worldwide Field Operations (WWFO) organization, which manages sales and support, generally uses the BU organizations for its materials purchasing needs. The most senior Managers with Procurement responsibility within the manufacturing divisions are responsible for making sure supplier contracts are complete, supplier performance reviews are done on time, and performance issues are resolved in a timely manner. Four generic processes are used to manage supplier quality:

1. Requirements Specification;

2. Supplier Selection;

3. On-Going Conformance Assurance; and,

4. Performance Evaluation

8.2.1 Requirements Specification

The BU purchasing operations specify the product to be purchased in accordance with the needs of the operation and the needs of the ultimate Agilent customers. Customer requirements flow into the purchasing process through the requirement specifications of the manufacturing entity sourcing the material. Purchasing staff assembles the requirements to be tendered to the supplier, reviews them

with the division personnel needing the materials, in order to ensure accuracy, and then communicate the requirements to the supplier.

Quality requirements specifications consist of:  Standard purchase-order and purchase-agreement information that references company-wide

quality requirements, including reference to Agilent‟s Supplier Quality System document 5951-

1665. http://www.agilent.com/quality/supplier_quality_system_rqmt.pdf and ESD requirements.

 Business-specific standard terms and conditions, if any are developed at the division level; and,  Specifications dictating the product form, fit, function, etc. and any other specific requirements for

approval of the product, procedures, processes, and equipment.

Current document retention standards only require controlled retention of quotations, contracts/agreements, confidential non-disclosure agreements, and licensing agreements accepted from/with suppliers. Where records are retained, it is by the buyer/manager of the supplier and/or their extended team of internal customers using the supplier. (7.4.2)

8.2.2 Supplier Selection

Suppliers are selected by personnel from the operation where the purchased product will be used, usually in partnership with materials procurement personnel. Suppliers are asked for information relative to desired requirements. The type and extent of qualification depends on how critical the product and supplier is to the continuity of order fulfillment, and the form, fit, and function of the ultimate product. Where qualification is done it usually consists of ordering and inspecting prototypes or samples. The entity that establishes the relationship with a new supplier, and/or for a new item to be purchased, is responsible for maintaining the records from the selection and/or qualification process, including the criteria and management approval in accordance with the entity‟s sourcing requirements. (7.4.1)

8.2.3 On-Going Conformance Assurance

The process for ensuring that the purchased product meets the specified purchase requirements is implemented locally, within the framework of applicable company, BU, and divisional processes and practices. In general, incoming material shipments are checked to see if any special handling or inspection is required, otherwise it is assumed fit for use and delivered to the user or storage area. Material requiring inspection is flagged in the material & order management system. Material not requiring inspection is delivered to its storage location, which is normally at the point of use. FGI (finished goods inventory) handling procedures may vary from site to site. If verification is

performed at the supplier‟s location, the purchase order or Agreement will state the arrangements

and method of release. The usual method is to request suppliers to provide outbound quality control testing reports. Materials procurement personnel usually manage the resolution process if a supplier fails to meet requirements. (7.4.3)

8.2.4 Performance Evaluation

Supplier performance is managed in real time through the escalation of any observed issues concerning the delivery, form, fit, and function of the item. In some cases, issues are tracked online, such as on-line part failure history tracking and engineering alerts. Materials procurement personnel typically act as the focal point for supplier quality issues. In addition, there is a guideline for evaluating how well strategic suppliers (critical to business) have met requirements. The technology

An EMG On Time Arrival (OTA) team focuses on achieving OTA goals. The purpose of the EMG On Time Arrival Corrective Action and Management Review system is to establish a quality improvement environment that is responsive to EMG‟s promise to customers. The approach is to establish corrective action ownership, provide consistent data, and establish management reviews.

8.4.1 Shipping (7.5.5) Pack: Pack instrument and accessories according to customer order/requirements. The

Environmental Test Manual outlines several requirements for packaging.

a) Shipping Logistics: Plan and manage worldwide shipping logistics to meet customer

requirements.

8.4.2 Management of customer Complaints: OBD, OTA, OTS: (8.2.1)

Improvements to product and production processes may be initiated in response to information gained from customer feedback.

a. The OBD (Out-of-Box Defect) system provides information that is analyzed for patterns and

trends in order to prioritize areas for further investigation. Changes to product or process may be implemented within Order Fulfillment along with involvement from other areas of the business as required.

b. On Time Arrival (OTA): EMG measures the OTA for all EMG products. The results are

monitored in the EMG monthly Bluebook.

c. On Time Shipment (OTS): http://qes.supplychain.agilent.com/OTD_Metrics/OTD_metrics.asp

EMG measures the OTS for all EMG products. The results are monitored in the EMG monthly

9. Customer Satisfaction

Customer Satisfaction is meeting customers‟ quality, delivery, pricing and features requirements.

Quality is more than hardware reliability. It is all about the customer‟s total experience in interacting

with our products, people, partners, and agents. It is the sum of these interactions over time that determines customer loyalty.

9.1 Service Solutions Unit (SSU) (7.5.1, 7.5.2, 7.5.3, 7.6)

The Service Solutions Unit‟s mission is to build customer value and intimacy through support services and solutions. These either extend the usefulness and product life of hardware products, or are unique services such as consulting and training that provide a whole product solution for the customer

There are two separate entities in SSU from an operational perspective to better serve customers. The SSU organization will focus on business development, marketing and R&D customer and planning issues while the SSU SDO, Service Delivery Operation delivers calibration/repair services and parts to EMG business and trade customers.

9.1.1 Repair: (7.5.3, 7.5.1)

The overall repair process includes sub-processes such as cleaning and safety testing, and information services such as Service Notes. http://emg.communications.agilent.com/wcss/internalpages/svcnotes/index.htm

An overall process map is available at: http://bench.service.agilent.com/ (Not applicable to MSD and ASPL) Examples of key metrics: Turn-around Time (TAT), Ship on time (SOT). MSD and ASPL provides on-site support (repair and calibration and delivery (site preparation and installation)) and remote phone technical support to customer.

9.1.2 Calibration: (7.6)

Calibration is the set of operations that establishes, under specified conditions, the relationship between values indicated by a measuring instrument or measuring system, and the corresponding standard or known values derived from the standard. The benefit to the customer is to assure that an instrument is operating within the measurement specification design parameters. Examples of key metrics: TAT and SOT.

The process of calibration is defined in related documents:

EMG Calibration System Manual (includes control of subcontracted calibration section 4.5,

supplier selection.

Audit Program Description Metrology Policy Manual

Calibration is sometimes a separate step within the repair process and is embedded in the following production flow diagram located at: http://bench.service.agilent.com/

9.6.2 EMG Quality Blue Book (4.1e, 8.4): Provides data about EMG‟s quality performance from our

customers‟ perspective where feasible. It is designed to measure areas which affect customers‟

perception regarding EMG‟s quality. Multiple levels of management review the Quality Blue Book

quarterly to understand EMG‟s overall quality trends to make improvements as appropriate.

EMG Quality Blue Book web site: http://intuition.is.agilent.com/bluebook/Default.aspx

9.6.3 Out of Box defect (OBD): (4.1.e, 8.4)

An OBD is a Performance or Non-performance defect found when the customer opens the box and turns on the product. Customers expect products to conform to quality expectation and expect the product to turn on the first time.

Customer reliability expectations: 1) Out of box experience, where Agilent‟s reputation can be questioned, 2) Early lifetime, where the specific product‟s quality is in doubt, 3) Warranty period,

where reliability perceptions are developed, and 4) Post-warranty period, where service delivery is measured.

9.7 Escalations and Customer Issue Resolution (8.2.1)

CIR (Customer Issue Resolution) EMG's worldwide Customer Issue Resolution (CIR) process focuses on resolving crossorganizational customer issues. Timely and effective customer issue resolution is an important aspect in building customer satisfaction and in sustaining Agilent‟s position as the premier measurement company. The CIR process was implemented worldwide on February 1, 2007 to provide a simplified common tool to report and resolve cross-organizational customer issues.

CIRF is a web or Outlook based form that is available to all EMG employees. CIRF provides an easy way to: Report a customer problem, provide customer feedback/compliment, Request an escalation, Request a 2nd Level Escalation, and ask for assistance when you don't know where to go for help.

Key elements of CIR:

 Common Process: The field, divisions and SSU will use the CIR process.  Single Entry Point: CIRF (Customer Issue Reporting Form) will be the primary input tool for front-line

employees.

 One Platform: Siebel will be the sole content management system.  Single Point of Contact: Each organization has one single point of contact (a specific person, not an email

node).
