Hey guys and gals, What is an AVL in the electronics world? It seems to stand for Approved Vendor List, which seems to me to mean a list of vendors, that have been approved to do business with.
Is this correct?
I am being asked to create a master parts list with an internal numbering scheme and call *that* an AVL.
This rankles me.
What's the right answer here?
TIA

That's my understanding. It's all tied up with ISO9001 requirements so that every item used in a product can be tracked for reliability and subsequent improvements.
Howdy,
Most companies I've worked for have an AVL or QVL which is a list of vendor's part numbers that's tied to an company part number.
So the company part number points to a company specification and to a list of vendor's part numbers approved to the specification.
Just an aside... Orders should reference the company part number so the vendor won't change their specification without notice and a C of C (certificate of compliance) should be included with the order by the vendor stating that the parts meet the company specification.
