Supplier Material Release Manual

Manual Summary

Introduction

Westbrook Mfg. Inc. faxes or emails a "Supplier Releases and Material Authorization Form" to each of its suppliers every Tuesday unless otherwise noted. Supplier contacts should call
Westbrook if they have not received a release by Wednesday morning. Each faxed or emailed release supersedes the previous release, and any changes should be addressed
accordingly. Suppliers should view the past due and first week’s requirement as
immediate needs at Westbrook, and apply the balance of the weekly requirements as
forecast and planned shipments.

Westbrook has established a pull system with some suppliers. These suppliers should
use the "Supplier Release and Material Authorization Form" as a forecast only and ship
to the actual signals sent by Westbrook at the determined intervals (daily, weekly).
Please see attached "Sample #2" for an example of a Westbrook pull signal.
