Introduction
This document serves as the Hughes Network Systems Materials Engineering department standard to be followed for new
product acceptance, for new supplier approval, and for continuous product surveillance. This plan serves as the top level
document in the HNS Materials Engineering Approval Process, the components of which shall be invoked as given in Table 1.

Procedure
The initial supplier contact will be done by Purchasing or Design Engineering. If the product meets the designer’s requirements,
Materials Engineering will begin the acceptance process for the production use of the product.
The product acceptance process will be implemented in the following sequence:
1. Supplier Capability Survey
2. First Article
3. Manufacturing Verification Tests
4. Supplier Readiness Approval
The Supplier Readiness metric MEF9001 is used to document the status of each approval process.
Before a product can be released for HNS production use, the Supplier Readiness metric must have signature approval from
the responsible Materials Engineer, Design Engineer and Program Manager.
Document Number Assignment System
The following document number system will be used within the Materials Engineering group:
MESxxxx = Materials Engineering standard documents or procedures.
MEDxxxx = Materials Engineering boilerplate document (form letters, trip reports, etc.).
MEFxxxx = Materials Engineering boilerplate forms (worksheets, reports, summaries, etc.)
The MES standards are commodities based and prescribe procedures and plans to be followed.
The MED documents are used in creating trip reports, letters, etc. They provide the preferred styles to be used by Materials
Engineers when communicating with suppliers, trip reports, etc.
The MEF forms are commodity specific and are used to document activities throughout the procedures. These forms will be
created as needed by the Materials Engineer in charge of the commodity. (See record keeping below).
Examples: MEF100x documents are Grading Summary & Comparison forms, MEF300x documents are MVT Summaries,
etc. See Table 2

Record Keeping (not DCCMS Controlled documents)
The main documents of MES 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 7000, and 9000 are released in the DCCMS. The other
working documents used by Materials Engineering are available on the Hughes Network Systems Intranet address: http://
hnsweb/meweb. File DOCLOG.DOC will have an up-to-date log of the documents created, its latest revision, its title, date
of creation and creator’s name. Before creating a new document for a commodity, review the DOCLOG.DOC file for
documents related to that commodity.
The creator or the person revising a document must make sure this log is kept up-to-date. All files created must be write
protected to avoid unintentional modifications.
Definitions
Commodity : A group of products with similar functions and/or applications.
Specific Product : A product with a unique HNS part number.
Supplier : When capitalized, refers to the entity supplying product to HNS.
