WHAT is NCI process and WHY GE follows it? NCI (New Component Introduction) – is a GE process to establish and statistically prove conformity of a component to a certain set of requirements (typically: specification and drawing), in other words, process designed to approve component for use in manufacturing of GE products.
NCI Goals:– Components Quality …. Smooth operations– Cost out… avoidance of costs related to incoming inspection,
deliveries shortages due to defects, inventory optimization– Mitigation of product/brand reputation risks…supplier
accountability

Phase 1: Working with Supplier (BEFORE SHIPMENT OF SAMPLES)GE:
Establishes correctness and completeness of drawings and specification (supplier working docs);
Conducts component risk assessment and prepares Validation Matrix;
Conducts chemical materials verification
CHECK DRAWINGS &SPECIFICAITIONS FORACCURACY & COMPLETENESSCOMPONENT RISK
ASSESSMENT & PREPARATION OF VALIDATION MATRIX
CONDUCT CHEMICAL MATERIALS VERIFICATION
Supplier: Prepares Process Flow Diagram (PFD),
analyses potential manufacturing process and component failures ( Process FMEA – Process Failure Mode & Effect Analysis), prepares Characteristics Control Plan for CTQs
Produces sample lot
GE: Validates measurement system and
performs 100% quality inspection of sample lot before its delivery to GE (First Article Inspection)
DEVELOP RFD. PFMEA & CCP
VALIDATE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
OBTAIN CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY AND CONDUCT FIRST ARTICLE INSPECTION

Phase 2: Manufacturing Process Validation(AFTER SHIPMENT OF SAMPLES LOT TO GE)
GE: Machinability Check (if applicable) Fit up Check (parts dimensional
compatibility) Functional Test (individual component) Sub-system Test System Test Environmental Test Reliability and Growth Tests (Field
Tests) Approval/Disapproval of NCI
MACHNIABILITY CHECK
FIT UP TEST
FUNCTIONAL TEST
SYSTEM AND SUBSYSTEM TESTS
ENVIRONMENTAL ANDRELAIBILITY TESTS
FINAL NCI APPROVAL

Phase 3: Post-NCI Monitoring
Supplier: Upon approval for serial supply, continues to
submit data to GE Process Capability Database
for CTQ characteristics
GE: Assesses data provided by supplier on on-
going basis with goal to detect any process capability or process control deficiencies are established – this allows to defect issues on
early stages; Requests suppliers to implement corrective
actions in case process capabilities and/or process control deficiencies are identified
UPDATE PROCESS CAPABILITY DATABASE
VERIFY ACCEPTABILITY OF CAPABILITY AND PROCESS CONTROL
TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS IS NECESSARY
UPON COMPLETION OF NCI NO CHANGES IN MATERIAL AND/OR PROCESS ARE ALLOWED. ANY PERMANENT CHANGE WOULD
REQUIRE A NEW NCI.
Supplier Selection

WHAT is Supplier Selection & WHY GE Follows It? Supplier Selection – process designed to find and approve new suppliers for products and services.
Supplier Selection Benefits:– Minimization of risks of work with unreliable suppliers … quality,
surety or supply and commercial competitiveness directly impact sales
– Minimization of product reputation/brand risks … it takes years to create good reputation and just one minute to destroy it
– Minimization of financial risks ... financially unstable supplier may jeopardize customer’s orders execution
– Better understanding of suppliers commercial & capacity capabilities...
helping to reach “WIN-WIN” situation with supplier for long term

Supplier Selection: Pre-screening(data provided by supplier)Financial Information:
– Financial Statements– Loss/Benefits Reports– Reference Information on Major Customers– Results of Independent Financial Audit
Commercial Information (examples):– Internet Access and Ability to Work on –line– Production /Process capabilities and certifications– Production Capacity (current and planned)– Logistics Capabilities (proximity to major
transportation routes & terminals, warehousing)- Packaging Capabilities etc.

Supplier Selection: On-Site Audit Compliance (examples):
– EHS – IP protection– Compliance: to local & international law; readiness to
adhere to GE Supplier Commitment– Management Integrity etc.
General Assessment: - Operational Management - Quality Management System– Manufacturing and Engineering Technology, R&D
Capability– Special Processes
KNOW YOUR SUPPLIERS !
