--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Trusted Supply Chain & Counterfeit Prevention Lead (speak, public): To ensure we're aligned on the material change to an alternate supplier for the guidance-actuator PCB assembly for Lot 12 deliveries, can we start by discussing the qualification evidence and any associated risks?
[R0.2] Hardware Qualification Test Engineer (speak, public): To determine the qualification evidence needed, I'd like to understand the supply assurance expectations that drive what evidence must be collected. Can you share more about the supply chain risks associated with the alternate supplier?
[R0.3] Program Contracts & Cost Manager (speak, public): To address the supply chain risks and qualification evidence, I can share that we have a contractual obligation to notify the customer within 5 business days of any material change, such as switching to an alternate supplier for the guidance-actuator PCB assembly. Additionally, our Lot 12 first-article is due on 30 Jun 2026. I'd like to understand the qualification timeline and any potential test-capacity constraints that might impact our delivery schedule.

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Trusted Supply Chain & Counterfeit Prevention Lead (speak, public): The alternate supplier, Supplier B, has a Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) score of 78/100 as of January 2026. In terms of qualification evidence, we need to ensure that the new supplier meets our traceability requirements, which mandate lot traceability within 10 business days. Additionally, we should consider the destructive analysis capacity constraint, as there are only 3 accredited labs approved for decapsulation. I'd like to understand the qualification timeline and any potential risks associated with the testing process.
[R1.2] Hardware Qualification Test Engineer (speak, public): To address the qualification timeline and potential risks, thermal cycling qualification requires 14 days. Given the environmental chamber availability is limited to 2 slots/week, we should plan accordingly. Additionally, the re-qualification process is expected to add 6 weeks to the Lot 12 start date. We need to ensure that the alternate supplier meets our performance criteria, specifically that the actuator latency increase does not exceed 2 ms.
[R1.3] Program Contracts & Cost Manager (speak, public): To ensure we're aligned on the contractual and financial implications, I'd like to clarify that switching to Supplier B will incur a unit price delta of $412 vs $385 with our current supplier. Given our FY26 EAC headroom is $1.2M, we need to assess whether the qualification timeline and potential risks justify this additional cost. Can you confirm if there are any unresolved corporate-ownership review signals around Supplier B and how strong the earliest engineering evidence is for the alternate hardware?

--- Round 2 ---
[R2.1] Trusted Supply Chain & Counterfeit Prevention Lead (speak, public): To address the concerns around Supplier B, I can confirm that our current focus is on the qualification evidence and associated risks. The SCRM score of 78/100 indicates a moderate risk level. We need to weigh this against the engineering evidence and the potential impact on our delivery schedule. I'd like to understand more about the earliest engineering evidence for the alternate hardware and any potential red flags from the testing process.
[R2.2] Hardware Qualification Test Engineer (speak, public): To address the concerns around the earliest engineering evidence for the alternate hardware, I can share that the manufacturing quality indicator from Supplier B shows a 1.7% solder void rate, which is within our acceptable limits. However, we need to consider the potential risks associated with the re-qualification process, including the 6-week delay to the Lot 12 start date. I'd like to gauge whether the contractual and financial implications justify proceeding with the alternate supplier.
[R2.3] Program Contracts & Cost Manager (speak, public): To summarize our discussion, we have a contractual obligation to notify the customer within 5 business days of the material change to Supplier B. The Lot 12 first-article is due on 30 Jun 2026, and we've identified potential risks associated with the qualification timeline and test-capacity constraints. Supplier B has a moderate SCRM score of 78/100, and the unit price delta is $412 vs $385 with our current supplier. Given our FY26 EAC headroom is $1.2M, we need to weigh these factors against the engineering evidence and potential risks. I'd like to confirm whether we've addressed all the necessary factors to make a recommendation on approving the material change.

--- Round 3 ---
[R3.1] Trusted Supply Chain & Counterfeit Prevention Lead (speak, public): To summarize, we've discussed the qualification evidence, supply chain risks, contractual obligations, and financial implications associated with the material change to Supplier B for the guidance-actuator PCB assembly. Given the moderate SCRM score of 78/100, the need for lot traceability within 10 business days, and the potential 6-week delay to the Lot 12 start date, I believe we have a comprehensive view of the risks and benefits. I'd like to propose that we approve the material change to Supplier B, provided that we can mitigate the identified risks through additional testing and monitoring. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this proposal.
[R3.2] Hardware Qualification Test Engineer (speak, public): To address the proposal to approve the material change to Supplier B, I believe we should consider the results of the qualification testing and the potential risks associated with the re-qualification process. Given that the manufacturing quality indicator from Supplier B shows a 1.7% solder void rate, which is within our acceptable limits, and the actuator latency increase does not exceed 2 ms, I think we can mitigate the risks through additional testing and monitoring. However, we need to carefully weigh the 6-week delay to the Lot 12 start date against the contractual obligations and financial implications. I agree that approving the material change to Supplier B is viable if we can ensure that the identified risks are properly mitigated.
[R3.3] Program Contracts & Cost Manager (speak, public): To finalize our recommendation on approving the material change to Supplier B, I'd like to summarize the key points discussed. We have a contractual obligation to notify the customer within 5 business days, a moderate SCRM score of 78/100 for Supplier B, a unit price delta of $27 per unit, and a potential 6-week delay to the Lot 12 start date. Given our FY26 EAC headroom of $1.2M, we need to weigh these factors against the engineering evidence and potential risks. I propose that we approve the material change to Supplier B, provided that we implement additional testing and monitoring to mitigate the identified risks. I'd like to hear your final thoughts on this proposal.

--- Round 4 ---
[R4.1] Trusted Supply Chain & Counterfeit Prevention Lead (speak, public): To finalize our decision on approving the material change to Supplier B for the guidance-actuator PCB assembly, I believe we've thoroughly discussed the key factors, including the qualification evidence, supply chain risks, contractual obligations, and financial implications. Given the moderate SCRM score of 78/100 for Supplier B, the need for lot traceability within 10 business days, and the potential 6-week delay to the Lot 12 start date, I recommend approving the material change to Supplier B, provided that we implement additional testing and monitoring to mitigate the identified risks. Let's ensure we notify the customer within the required 5 business days and carefully manage the re-qualification process to minimize the delay.
[R4.2] Hardware Qualification Test Engineer (speak, public): I agree with the proposal to approve the material change to Supplier B, provided that we implement additional testing and monitoring to mitigate the identified risks. Let's ensure we carefully manage the re-qualification process to minimize the delay and notify the customer within the required 5 business days.
[R4.3] Program Contracts & Cost Manager (speak, public): I agree with the proposal to approve the material change to Supplier B, provided that we implement additional testing and monitoring to mitigate the identified risks. Let's ensure we notify the customer within the required 5 business days and carefully manage the re-qualification process to minimize the delay.
