ABSTRACT: This document replaces TA-TSY-000389.

This Technical Reference (TR) identifies the basic "elements" of a Supplier Data Program. This program is employed by a supplier of telecommunications products to provide adequate and timely information to its customers on the shipped quality and reliability of its products. The document also gives quality and reliability of its products and gives guidelines for performing a Supplier Data Program Analysis (SDPA).

The SDPA is an on-site review of the supplier's data provisioning process; it assesses the ability of the supplier's quality organization to provide accurate and up-to-date information directly (or through Telcordia QA) to its customers.

When using TR-TSY-000389, you may want to refer to GR-1252 or GR-2981 (replaced TR-TSY-000039), and/or TR-TSY-000438.
