I. OVERVIEW
The National Instruments (NI) Supplier Scorecard provides a quantitative and consistent
process to measure supplier and original manufacturer performance categories critical
to our success, and drive toward continual improvement in all areas important to NI.
This process is designed to improve incoming material quality, reduce lead times, help
achieve uninterrupted supply, enhance pricing competitiveness (lowest total cost of
ownership) and improve customer service.
The Supplier Scorecard uses four main assessment criteria, which provide the best
gauge of product and service performance. The four criteria are Quality, Supply
Assurance, Total Cost, and Customer Service and Support. These are assigned
points (or percentages) totaling 100 points (Quality = 30, Supply Assurance = 30, Total
Cost = 30, Customer Service/Support = 10.)
The OEM Scorecard and Product Partner Scorecard measure Quality only and total 30
points.

Below is a description of each assessment criterion (II. Through V.):
II. QUALITY – 30 points total
Quality is worth 30% of the total scorecard or 30 points total. The breakdown of these
30 quality points depends upon the commodity. For ASICs and electronic distributors,
and product partners, the 30 points is subdivided into three categories: NCMR count,
Defective parts per million (DPPM) and SCAR occurrence/severity. For all other
commodities, the 30 points is subdivided into two categories: Defective parts per million
(DPPM) and SCAR occurrence/severity. The point breakdown can be summarized as
follows:

a. NCMR count
(applicable only for ASICs, Electrical Distributors and Product Partners)
NCMR stands for Nonconforming Material Report. ASIC, Electrical distributors and
Product Partners start out with a given 5 points in Quality and lose points based on
the number of NCMRs. For each NCMR, a negative one (-1) point will be applied.

Owner: Don Cook
This is typically a 5 point section but if a supplier has more than 5 NCMRs in one
quarter, additional points will be taken from the other quality categories. See table
below for example:
NCMR Count
0
1
2
3
4

6
Etc.
Points subtracted
0 (supplier scores 5 in this category)
-1 (supplier scores 4 in this category)
-2 (supplier scores 3 in this category)
-3 (supplier scores 2 in this category
-4 (supplier scores 1 in this category)
-5 (supplier scores 0 in this category)
-6 (0 points from the NCMR category plus taking 1
point from another quality category
Etc.
Note: NI may chose to contract with Electrical distributors to manufacturer product
resell solutions or product integration services. NCMRs for these types of product
are removed from the NCMR count for a given scorecard distributor. The purpose
being that NI wants to track NCMR count as it applies to typical distribution type
components, not product integration services where the distributor has a large role in
the manufacturing of the product. However, the defects themselves are reflected in
a given distributors DPPM score.
b. DPPM
(defective parts per million)
The defect rate at the piece part level.
The calculation is:
quantity of parts rejected
X 1,000,000
quantity of parts received
Rejects counted are identified within the reporting period, regardless of when the
product was received, and compared with the quantity received within the same
period. Multiple rejections can be recorded against one part.
NI has established individual or like commodity DPPM brackets. “Bracket”
means a table which details out the commodity, the DPPM ranges and the given
points associated with a DPPM range. Refer to the next section for the specifics.

d. SCAR, IQE, and CQE scoring
Supplier Corrective Action (SCAR), Internal Quality Escalation (IQE), and
Customer Quality Escalation (CQE)
SCARs can be issued to a supplier in several cases. Such cases include supplier or
Manufacturer fault NCMRs that impact NI manufacturing and/or NI customers.
SCARs will be given a severity level based on impact: red = high, orange = medium,
yellow = low/minor.
IQEs and CQEs are internal quality issue tracking documents that may or may not
result in a SCAR. Currently they only apply to OEM & Product Partner Scorecards.
The severity level designations are the same as above for SCARs.
Factors that NI considers when assessing SCAR severity are as follows but not
limited to:

Parts require sorting

Repeat occurrences of problem

Reject quantity such that DPPM points go to 0 (zero.)

NI production is disrupted (line down situation or significant rework)

Previous Corrective Action was ineffective

Customer request for Corrective Action

NI product is placed on shipping hold

Problem of a systemic nature

Safety issue

NI product is recalled
A supplier starts out with 10 given points in this category. A given SCAR deducts
points from this 10 point bucket. It is possible to deduct points for SCARs beyond
Page 5

this 10 points. In that case, the points will be taken from another quality category.
See table below for example:
SCAR severity
Red (high impact)
Orange (medium impact)
Yellow (lower impact)
Points subtracted from 10 pt. starting

-1
Note 1: SCAR severity replaces the “penalty points” that were introduced in 2008.
Note 2: A thorough 6 step root cause analysis and corrective action is required for all red and orange
SCARs, including a Why Happened? and Why Escaped? Yellow rated SCARs only require a documented
correction. The severity level and required fields will be shown on the NI Supplier Corrective Action form.
III. SUPPLY ASSURANCE (3 part section) – 30 points total
Supply Assurance is worth 30% of the total scorecard or 30 points total.
Note: Section does not apply to OEM Scorecard
a. On-Time Delivery formula
On Time Delivery is the percentage of line items actually received “on-time” as
compared to the supplier’s measured delivery date on a Purchase Order. “On-time”
receipt is defined as delivery to NI’s dock from seven days early to one day late. On
time delivery is measured by Receipt Date compared to Oracle PO line “Need By Date,”
to determine a supplier’s On Time Delivery performance.
The calculation is: number of receipts delivered on time
X 100 (rounded up at .5)
total number of shipments
In the case of deliveries to multiple sites across NI (NIC, NIH for example), the total
count of deliveries during the quarter to both sites will be compared to the number
deliveries not on time. This section is weighted 15% of the total scorecard.

c. Lead Time formula
The average lead-time (including transit time) in business days for all items with a
forecast greater than 0 and sourced from the supplier. The section is weighted 10%
of the total scorecard.
The calculation is:
Sum of all Supplier lead-times (includes transit time) in days
Number of part numbers purchased from Supplier
(rounded down at .5)
d. Lead Time scoring by commodity
Following is the ranges of lead times by commodity, categorized in ranges of actual
Lead Time performance for that commodity (less than average, average, and better
than average). The unit of measure is business days. GCM’s have the discretion to
select the specific score within the point range based on supplier performance.

e. VDL scoring
(Vendor Discrepancy List)
The number of Closed VDL’s (Receiving discrepancy) which a supplier causes (as
noted per the VDL responsibility of “Supplier”) will be accounted for, compared to the
number of line items Received, as a percentage. The section is weighted 5% of the
total scorecard.

The measure of a supplier’s flexibility, innovation, and overall ease of doing business
with. This section is fairly subjective and will rely heavily on the GCM’s overall
experience and judgment.
An example of being flexible: Supplier working with NI to take back excess material
and find alternate sales channels for this product
An example of innovation: Supplier providing analysis and recommendations on
how often their parts should be bought annually, in order to optimize buy cycles for
both the supplier and NI – resulting in decreased costs for both companies
