Quality Assurance Provisions
A supplier who undertakes supplying assemblies to this specification shall be responsible for maintaining
the quality of the assemblies equal to or better than the quality of the originally supplied samples. At the
option of NCR, samples may be pulled from any lot and tested to determine compliance with this
specification. In the event compliance is not satisfactory, units and/or lots may be returned to the supplier
for replacement. The supplier shall pay shipping charges both ways on rejected materials.
7.1
Product Quality
When a purchase order (PO) is accepted to supply material against this specification, the supplier
assumes a responsibility for the shipment of defect-free products produced under a prevention oriented
quality system. NCR expects to receive products at the AQL specified in paragraph 9.5.
To help prevent defective product from reaching the customer, NCR is to be made immediately aware of
any knowledge the supplier has on past and current problems with the product. In the event that
problems with the product do occur, NCR uses a Closed Loop Corrective Action (CLCA) process to
isolate and correct the problems. In general, this process involves a communication to the supplier to
indicate and detail the problem, who will in turn, provide both a short and long term solution to correct the
problem in a timely fashion. Rejections may occur and shipments may be held pending the receipt and
approval of a complete failure analysis and a corrective action report from the vendor to the NCR
Corporation
7.2
Quality Documentation
A detailed description of the manufacturer’s quality program shall be made available to NCR Supplier
Chain Management (SCM). The program content will be confirmed during a facility and process audit at
the manufacturing site if required by SCM.

no routine incoming inspection. Shipments are to be received and accepted through Dock-To-Stock or
Dock-to-Line programs.
8.1
Dock-to-Stock
Dock-to-Stock implementation does not negate the right to reinstate incoming inspection or reject and
return non-conforming material. Reinstatement will have a negative effect on the NCR Business Plan;
immediate supplier corrective action is mandatory.
All lots of items supplied to this specification shall be homogeneous in materials and construction. No lotto-lot changes in design or materials involved in the manufacture of product delivered to NCR will be
allowed without written prior approval from NCR.
8.2
Process Change
NCR is to be made aware of all potential materials, design, assembly, and manufacturing site changes
that may cause the product delivered to NCR to not meet specifications. All design and materials
changes must be approved in writing prior to the receipt of production quantities. NCR is to be made
aware of any potential manufacturing site changes; written approval of the change by NCR is not
required. NCR reserves the right to audit and qualify the new location in the event of a manufacturing site
change.
8.3
Quality Performance Records
Quality performance records consisting of inspection and test results shall be maintained by the supplier
in a place and manner which prevents loss or deterioration. They are to be made available to NCR for
audit and analysis. In addition, NCR will provide track supplier quality performance based on the
products they are currently providing to the NCR Corporation. The goal of the report is to the supplier
work towards continual quality improvements by meeting goals set between NCR and the supplier.
8.4
Statistical Process Control (SPC)
The supplier shall be committed to process control and a philosophy of continuous quality improvement.
SPC is a means to achieve each. It is expected that process capability will be demonstrated through SPC
and that it will be used as required to control quality characteristics.

Chapter 11: Remote Button Activator (RBA)
Overview
The Remote Button Activator (RBA) offers an easy method to check the contents of an ESL’s
registers. In a store environment, the RBA can be used to access promotional messaging,
stocking information, planogram data, or other store-specific information stored in the ESL’s
registers.
The RBA device is similar to an automotive car door lock system or garage door opener system
in both size and method of operation.
2. Using the Remote Button Activator (RBA)
Place the RBA near an ESL. Press the buttons on the RBA in the sequences listed below and the
contents of the selected ESL register displays.

When the A key is pressed, the LED turns on a little less brightly than normal to indicate
alternate mode. Within 5 seconds a number must be entered or the RBA turns off the LED and
defaults back to normal mode.
There are two ways to use the RBA to view the contents of an ESL’s registers:
1. Press and release the RBA button.
This shows the contents of the selected ESL register on the ESL LCD. After a few seconds, the
ESL LCD redisplays the contents of the original register.

2. Press and hold down the RBA button.
This shows the contents of the selected ESL register on the ESL LCD. The LED light on the RBA
blinks eight (8) times while the button is pressed. After approximately 15 seconds, the ESL LCD
redisplays the contents of the original register and the LED stops blinking.
Note: Each RBA is configured for use in a specific store and does not work on a RealPrice
System in another store.

Quality Assurance Provisions
A supplier who undertakes supplying assemblies to this specification shall be responsible for maintaining
the quality of the assemblies equal to or better than the quality of the originally supplied samples. At the
option of NCR, samples may be pulled from any lot and tested to determine compliance with this
specification. In the event compliance is not satisfactory, units and/or lots may be returned to the supplier
for replacement. The supplier shall pay shipping charges both ways on rejected materials.
7.1
Product Quality
When a purchase order (PO) is accepted to supply material against this specification, the supplier
assumes a responsibility for the shipment of defect-free products produced under a prevention oriented
quality system. NCR expects to receive products at the AQL specified in paragraph 9.5.
To help prevent defective product from reaching the customer, NCR is to be made immediately aware of
any knowledge the supplier has on past and current problems with the product. In the event that
problems with the product do occur, NCR uses a Closed Loop Corrective Action (CLCA) process to
isolate and correct the problems. In general, this process involves a communication to the supplier to
indicate and detail the problem, who will in turn, provide both a short and long term solution to correct the
problem in a timely fashion. Rejections may occur and shipments may be held pending the receipt and
approval of a complete failure analysis and a corrective action report from the vendor to the NCR
Corporation
7.2
Quality Documentation
A detailed description of the manufacturer’s quality program shall be made available to NCR Supplier
Chain Management (SCM). The program content will be confirmed during a facility and process audit at
the manufacturing site if required by SCM.
7.3
Warranty Period
Refer to the business agreement document between NCR and Manufacturing Supplier.

Product Acceptance
It is the intent of NCR to source materials from suppliers who provide defect-free shipments which require
no routine incoming inspection. Shipments are to be received and accepted through Dock-To-Stock or
Dock-to-Line programs.
8.1
Dock-to-Stock
Dock-to-Stock implementation does not negate the right to reinstate incoming inspection or reject and
return non-conforming material. Reinstatement will have a negative effect on the NCR Business Plan;
immediate supplier corrective action is mandatory.
All lots of items supplied to this specification shall be homogeneous in materials and construction. No lotto-lot changes in design or materials involved in the manufacture of product delivered to NCR will be
allowed without written prior approval from NCR.
8.2
Process Change
NCR is to be made aware of all potential materials, design, assembly, and manufacturing site changes
that may cause the product delivered to NCR to not meet specifications. All design and materials
changes must be approved in writing prior to the receipt of production quantities. NCR is to be made
aware of any potential manufacturing site changes; written approval of the change by NCR is not
required. NCR reserves the right to audit and qualify the new location in the event of a manufacturing site
change.
8.3
Quality Performance Records
Quality performance records consisting of inspection and test results shall be maintained by the supplier
in a place and manner which prevents loss or deterioration. They are to be made available to NCR for
audit and analysis. In addition, NCR will provide track supplier quality performance based on the
products they are currently providing to the NCR Corporation. The goal of the report is to the supplier
work towards continual quality improvements by meeting goals set between NCR and the supplier.
8.4
Statistical Process Control (SPC)
The supplier shall be committed to process control and a philosophy of continuous quality improvement.
SPC is a means to achieve each. It is expected that process capability will be demonstrated through SPC
and that it will be used as required to control quality characteristics.
