Process Sign-Off (PSO)

FOREWARD TO THE 5.5 EDITION

This manual shall define the requirements for Process Sign-Off (PSO) and detail the documentation required to verify conformance to DaimlerChrysler's (DCC) Quality System Standards. The PSO, ISO/TS-16949 and Chrysler Development System (CDS) will form the foundation for Supplier readiness to assure proactive Advanced Product Quality Planning. A Supplier’s certification to ISO/TS-16949 alone is not sufficient for PSO approval; all PSO requirements must be met in order to assure conformance to dimensional, material, functional and (where necessary) appearance requirements. In addition, it should be noted that every external Supplier of production parts to DaimlerChrysler Corporation shall be ISO/TS-16949:2002 third party registered. Effective 01/01/2007, all requirements stated in this document apply to all DaimlerChrysler Production Suppliers, including sub-tier Suppliers. In order to achieve an appreciable improvement in part quality, this manual has been modified to reflect DaimlerChrysler Corporation’s current PSO philosophy. Emphasis is placed on the importance of adhering to our Product Creation Process, i.e. the Chrysler Development System (CDS). This manual should be reviewed carefully and in its entirety to assure that all PSO requirements are known and understood. The 25 PSO Process Elements identified in the 5th Edition PSO Manual were re-evaluated and, in some cases, modified or removed. The name “DaimlerChrysler” and “DCC”, as used in this manual, refer to DaimlerChrysler Corporation (i.e., DCC formerly known as Chrysler Corporation) and its subsidiaries, which manufacture Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep® brand vehicles. This manual does not apply to other DaimlerChrysler AG subsidiaries or operations, which manufacture Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner or other brand vehicles or products. Where the word “Supplier” is used in this manual, it is intended to indicate both external and internal Tier 1 Suppliers. Where the term “DCC PSO Team” is utilized, it denotes DaimlerChrysler Employee involvement only. The term “PSO team” indicates all individuals involved in the PSO process (i.e., DCC and Supplier). For questions or comments concerning the Process Sign-Off manual, please contact your DaimlerChrysler Advance Supplier Quality Planning Specialist (ASQP Specialist).

Process Sign-Off (PSO)

INTRODUCTION SCOPE: Process Sign-Off (PSO) shall be performed on all new or modified parts with

PPAP requirements or parts that have been out of production for 12 months or longer. Additional conditions that may result in a PSO being required are: � Carry-over parts with historically high warranty and/or quality

problems; � Carry-over parts which have experienced a Supplier responsible yard

hold within the past calendar year; � New and/or additional production lines (e.g. capacity increases); � Production line moves, within a year of PSO approval;�� Any product or process change that occurs during the lifecycle of a part

or system.

PROCESS SIGN-OFF DEFINITION WHAT IS A PSO? Process Sign-Off is a formal review of the Supplier's production

manufacturing process. This process verifies a Supplier’s ability to manufacture production material at the daily tool capacity (as noted on the Production Purchase Order or as provided in writing by the DCC Production Buyer).

Each PSO includes evaluation of associated production facilities, related manpower, equipment, material, methods, procedures, software level(s) and tooling. The PSO is utilized to scrutinize the Supplier’s entire production process, including all in-house and secondary systems that support primary production line(s).

The DaimlerChrysler PSO is composed of three primary activities: 1. Pre-PSO Meeting

The DCC PSO Team shall review PSO documentation during AQP meetings and again during the Pre-PSO Meeting for compliance to PSO requirements.

2. PSO On-site Visit

The DCC PSO team shall witness at least one Production Demonstration Run (PDR) utilizing completed production tools as part of the PSO process for all Collaborative and Directed AQP Activity Level parts. PSO activities shall be conducted by the Supplier for all Self-Directed AQP Activity Level parts. Data collection, analysis, and summarization are the true measures of part quality and production capabilities. Observing the PDR should reveal issues such as bottlenecks and inefficiencies. Production Process review and measurements will provide the production rate, First Time Capability (FTC) and other statistics that validate each Supplier’s ability to effectively produce both the required quality and product quantities.


Full compliance with all PSO requirements and procedures ensures that the Supplier’s manufacturing process is stable, in control and capable of producing parts that meet all requirements.

3. Validation Testing

Production Validation (PV) Testing, of the Production Demonstration parts, will validate the Supplier’s system and provide evidence that the parts meet engineering, quality, durability, and reliability requirements contained in the Performance, Process, and Material Specifications.

Packaging and shipping or simulation test approvals are required by Material Handling Engineering if applicable.

WHY IS A PSO NECESSARY? Process Sign-Off is an effective method of verifying a Supplier’s quality

planning processes. It confirms that the processes can and will (when properly and successfully executed) produce quality parts in sufficient quantities for production.

WHO CONDUCTS THE PSO?

The PSO Team consists of, at a minimum, the DCC ASQP Specialist, DCC Product Engineer and Supplier(s) Representatives. � Other PSO team members may include but are not limited to; the DCC

Buyer, Center of Competence (COC) Engineer, and Vehicle Specialist. � The DCC ASQP Specialist has lead responsibility for the PSO for parts or

modules with Collaborative and Directed AQP Activity Levels. � The Supplier has lead responsibility for parts with Self-Directed AQP

Activity Levels. � The Supplier shall identify Supplier PSO team members for both the

DaimlerChrysler led PSO’s, as well as for Supplier led Self-Directed PSO’s. WHEN IS THE PSO PERFORMED?

The Process Sign-Off, On-Site Visit shall be scheduled by the PSO Team following the Pre-PSO Documentation Review, when the PSO Team agrees that: � All required Supplier documentation has been reviewed and is acceptable; � Production tooling is complete, on-site at the Supplier's Plant, setup,

debugged and the Supplier Readiness Evaluation (SRE) performed; � SRE is complete and the results have been documented and are

acceptable to the team; and � The production operators are trained and capable of running at the

required line speed. The purpose of the PSO is to demonstrate Supplier process capability and production capacity. The PSO demonstration shall produce dimensionally correct parts on the home-line with production tooling. The requirement is to complete all PSO’s and PPAP submissions prior to supplying parts for S1 Start. If PPAP is not complete prior to S1


Start, an Interim Approval Authorization (IAA) is required. For specific requirements regarding IAA submission, refer to P&S procedure PSSP0108 as well as any special requirements of the specific DCC Product Team. Suppliers do not have access to this procedure and should contact their DCC ASQP Specialist or Engineer for additional information regarding IAAs. HOW IS THE PSO PERFORMED? Refer to Figure 1 for the PSO strategy and Figures 2.1 and 2.2 for a step-by-

step flowchart and responsibility matrix for the PSO process. �� Pre-PSO Meeting:

The DCC ASQP Specialist will initiate PSO dialogue with the DCC Product Engineer and the Supplier (i.e., for Directed and Collaborative PSO’s). Together, they will schedule and coordinate the Pre-PSO Meeting as well as the PSO On-Site Visit. The ASQP Specialist will advise the Supplier of the documentation the team will want to review and whether the part has been selected for a PSO Extended Run.

�� Process Sign-Off On-Site Visit:

The PSO Team shall complete the first 20 elements of the PSO SUMMARY REPORT at the Supplier’s manufacturing facility. The PSO Team shall also verify the Supplier’s compliance to all 21 elements of PSO Edition 5.5 before full approval is given. Any deviations shall be recorded on the PSO COMMENTS SHEET. A successful PDR shall yield parts for Production Validation (PV) Testing.

When appearance approvals are required, the Supplier shall obtain a signed Appearance Approval Report (AAR) prior to PPAP submission. Refer to the AIAG PPAP manual and DCC Engineering Standards CS-9022 and PS-4559 for further guidance. PSO “Z” Approval: “Z” Approval is an internal code within the Powerway.com system. This code, in conjunction with the submission of a dimensional Part Submission Warrant (PSW), indicates that the first 20 PSO elements have been completed and approved. At this point, the Supplier may be eligible for partial tooling payment (for further tool payment information, reference the source package and the DCC Purchasing contact noted there in). The ASQP Specialist is responsible for entering the “Z” approval into Powerway.com for Directed and Collaborative AQP Activity Level parts. The Supplier is responsible for entering the “Z” approval into Powerway.com for Self-Directed AQP Activity Level parts. “Z” approval authorizes the Supplier to submit the Dimensional Part Submission Warrant (PSW) into Powerway.com. PSO “A” Approval: The “A” Approval is an internal code within Powerway.com. This code, in conjunction with the submission of a material and/or functional PSW (and an AAR, if required) confirms that all PSO and PPAP requirements have been met. The Supplier is then eligible for full tooling payment. The ASQP Specialist is responsible for entering the “A” approval into Powerway.com for Directed and Collaborative AQP Activity Level parts. The Supplier is responsible for entering the “A” approval into Powerway.com for Self-Directed AQP Activity Level parts.


The PSO date and an “A” disposition are required to be entered into Powerway.com prior to the Supplier submitting the Warrant (PSW) and entering the PPAP date and PPAP “A” disposition. This requirement is true for all parts, regardless of AQP Activity Level. PSO “N” Approval: The “N” disposition is an internal code within Powerway.com. This code indicates that the PSO On-Site Visit was unsuccessful and corrective action is required by the Supplier. A new PSO planned visit date (or corrective action completion date) is required to be entered into Powerway.com. Interim Approval Authorization All parts require full PSO and PPAP approval. PSO “A” approval is a prerequisite for PPAP approval. PPAP approvals are submitted through Powerway.com by the Supplier. Failure to submit PPAP before S1 Start will require an Interim Approval Authorization (IAA). Reference the internal DCC procedure PSSP0108. Suppliers do not have access to this procedure and should contact their DCC ASQP Specialist or Engineer for additional information regarding IAAs. NOTE 1: Even with “Z” Approval, an IAA is still required. NOTE 2: Any deviations to the PSO requirements outlined in this manual must be requested and approved in writing by the DCC ASQP Specialist and Product Engineer, REGARDLESS OF AQP ACTIVITY LEVEL. Approval(s) must be obtained from DCC before completion of the PSO process. Requested deviation(s) shall be formally outlined in detail within the COMMENT SHEET of the completed PSO.

PSO ELEMENT REQUIREMENTS


PART NUMBER, DESCRIPTION AND CHANGE LEVEL Element Requirements Documentation

1.1 The PSO team shall review all PSO related documents to ensure all documents have the correct part number, description and change level present or cross-referenced (see ISO/TS-16949 cl. 4.2.3 Control of Documents). 1.2 A procedure shall be in place to assure correct part number and revision level as changes occur. This procedure shall also ensure affected documents (e.g. Control Plan, PFMEA, etc.) are updated and applicable testing is performed for each change.

1.2.1 This procedure shall include communication and notification of changes throughout the Supply Chain. The Tier 1 Supplier is ultimately responsible to ensure product shipped to DCC (or other designated manufacturing facility) is the latest revision level. 1.2.2 This procedure shall include the receipt of an approved DCC Change Notice. The Supplier shall not make any changes without DOCUMENT approval from the customer (voicemail, e-mail, etc. are UNACCEPTABLE).

1.3 Where the product identity is not inherently obvious, the Supplier shall employ an internal numbering system and provide a cross reference which enables users to identify the DCC part number and revision level which corresponds to the Supplier’s numbering and revision system. 1.4 The Supplier shall have a procedure which prevents non-standardized or out of date documents and instructions from existing on the manufacturing floor (e.g. Document audit). Refer to ISO/TS-16949, cl. 4.2.3 Control of Documents. Engineering Standards Identified 1.5 A process shall be in place to obtain revisions to all DCC, governmental, Safety <S>, and other product related standards and specifications.

NOTE: Please indicate when during the production process the changeovers will be implemented (if they are conducted during the quoted operating pattern, or if they are to be conducted during "off shifts").

Length of PDR in hours is the measured time it took to conduct the production demonstration run. Please input start and finish time in cells provided.

Scheduled/unscheduled downtime not considered - The amount of downtime, in hours per shift, that was not considered. This could be any downtime such as PM, changeover, etc. that was not included in the development of the shift pattern/pieces per day quantity.Scheduled/unscheduled downtime should be calculated on a per shift basis (e.g. operating time per week divided by the number of shifts per week = changeover time per shift).

NOTE: Please input appropriate comments in the blanks provided.

Operating time dedicated to other customers - The amount of time, in hours per shift, that the production process is operating/manufacturing product for other customers.Operating time dedicated to other customers calculated on a per shift basis (e.g. operating time per week divided by the number of shifts per week = changeover time per shift).


First time through fall out during the PDR is the number of parts that were rejected from the manufacturing process during first evaluation. This is not the final number of unacceptable parts, but only those that failed first time through the process. (This number will be used in the FTC calculation.)

NOTE: The assumption for this calculation is that all of the part numbers have the same operating pattern and the same takt time.


Changeover and/or set up - The amount of time, in hours per shift, that the production process is not operating due to changeover and/or set up activities. Only changeovers that were quoted to occur during the production operating pattern should be considered for this calculation.

Changeovers or set up not conducted every shift should be calculated on a per shift basis (e.g. Changeover time per week divided by the number of shifts per week = changeover time per shift).

Production Demonstration Run Calculation Work Instructions

Acceptable parts witnessed at the PDR are the total number of parts, minus any rejects, which were demonstrated during the production run. (May differ from first time through fallout.)

NOTE: If the components being validated have varying operating patterns or different takt times, then separate calculation worksheets should be completed for each part.

NOTE: If the components being validated have varying operating patterns or different takt times, then separate calculation worksheets should be completed for each part.

NOTE: The assumption for this calculation is that all of the part numbers have the same operating pattern and the same takt time.

If the DCC requirement of 90% or greater is met, the cell will turn green.If the DCC requirement is not met (less than 90%), the cell will turn red.

M)

If the part difference is less than 0, the cell will turn red indicating the requirement is not met. i.e. M < 0 the cell = red.

NOTE: In the event (M) is yellow, it is strongly advised to conduct an Extended Run PSO to stress the supplier's production line and increase confidence in the supplier's ability to meet DCC requirements. PSO Extended Run options are explained in the PSO manual. Continuous improvement actions should also be developed for bottleneck operations or other operations which showed poor performance during the PSO run.

NOTE: If the FTC is less than 90%, the PSO team shall take product and process technology, complexity, supplier experience, and the effectiveness of defect containment actions into account when deciding whether the demonstrated lower FTC values are acceptable with a documented deviation. A DCC Supplier Quality Manager's signed approval is required for deviation from the PSO FTC requirement.

The difference between required parts/hour and witnessed parts/hour gives the total number of parts over or under the DCC requirement.

Production Demonstration Run Calculation Work Instructions, cont.

If the part difference is greater than (the DCC required parts per hour + 10%), the cell will turn green indicating the line speed is acceptable. i.e. (J + 10%) � M, then cell = green (requirements met).If the part difference is between 0 and (the DCC required parts per hour + 10%), the cell will turn yellow indicating the line speed has met requirments, but the part difference is very close and may require additional attention. i.e. 0 <= M < (J+10%) then cell = yellow.

FTC (First Time Capability) is the percentage of acceptable parts witnessed at the production demonstration run out the total number of parts attempted at the PDR.

Available production hours/shift are the net hours per shift the supplier has available to build product not including any scheduled downtime.

DCC required parts per hour at the PDR are the total number of acceptable parts the supplier must produce, in an hour's time, necessary to satisfy DCC.

Witnessed parts per hour at the PDR are the number of acceptable parts witnessed by the PSO team, which the supplier produced within an hour's time.

CAPABILITY MATRIX

There are two risks inherent in every decision, either (1) we have accepted “bad” parts (consumer’s risk), or (2) we have rejected “good” parts (producer’s risk). Test plans seek to balance these risks by specifying sample size and/or acceptance criteria so that neither the consumer nor the producer carries the higher proportion of risk. Sometimes, for business or other reasons, it may be important to hold one risk constant and allow the other risk to “float” based on sample size. Such is the case for Pp and Ppk. DaimlerChrysler wants to minimize its risk of accepting a population below 1.33Ppk. The following table presents the sample size and acceptance criteria that keeps the risk of accepting a “bad” population (� 1.33) at 6.4% (93.6% that population > 1.33 Ppk will be accepted). Depending upon sample size, the risk of rejecting a “good” population (� 1.67) could be very high. The table allows for trade-offs between sample size and producer’s risk to be identified.

APPENDIX C FTC Calculations


First Time Capability

CALCULATING FIRST TIME CAPABILITY (FTC) AND PROCESS YIELD WITHOUT REPAIRS

PURPOSE First Time Capability (FTC) is part of a process capability study that identifies how well it produces quality parts. For multiple assembly lines or tools, FTC studies shall be conducted on each one. FTC can be an important measure, because generally the lower the value, the greater the amount of rework required. As defects and rework increase, there is a greater possibility that the Supplier will ship non-conforming parts. DaimlerChrysler’s requirement for FTC is 90% or greater. Following the PDR, the PSO Team shall review the FTC values for each operation and the overall process. If the FTC is less than 90%, the PSO team shall take product and process technology, complexity, Supplier experience, and the effectiveness of defect containment actions into account when deciding whether the demonstrated lower FTC values are acceptable with a documented deviation. A Supplier Quality Manager’s signed approval is required for deviation from the PSO FTC requirement. FTC can be used to prioritize product and process improvement. If a Supplier encounters a situation where, despite their best efforts, they cannot find a solution to an inherently low FTC, DaimlerChrysler can assist in the improvement effort by supplementing the Supplier's team with experienced engineering and manufacturing specialists from a wide variety of disciplines.

DESCRIPTION FTC is measured as the number of items processed correctly divided by the total number of items processed. Correctly processed means no repairs or rework are allowed. Therefore, in a multi-operation process, a higher FTC is expected for an operation or zone than for an entire process. DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURE This three-step procedure is suggested for calculating a production line FTC. 1. Create a block diagram for the process showing each operation. The flow diagram or floor layout

provided by the plant can also be used.

2. Collect the following data from the PDR. a. Quantity of assemblies attempted. b. Quantity of rejected assemblies from each operation. c. Quantity of acceptable assemblies from the end of the line. Do not include repaired or reworked parts. 3. Calculate the operation and process FTC using the examples as a guide.

CALCULATIONS & EXAMPLES CALCULATIONS & EXAMPLES

Example 1, Series Process Flow without Repair: During a typical PSO Production Demonstration Run, the goal is to show that the production line is capable of producing parts that meet DCC quality and volume requirements. FTC and Yield are equal for a process without repairs so only FTC calculations will be shown in Section I. For established production lines and carryover component production demonstrations that may include rework, refer to Examples 3 & 4.

Using the three-step, data collection procedure outlined above, the following processed and rejected quantity data were collected during the PDR. The data are shown on the process block diagram.

Figure 1

Example 1 - Series Process Flow Diagram With Demonstration Data Begin by calculating the FTC for each operation. Operation 1 is shown here with its respective PSO PDR data

Divide the quantity completed at Operation 1, 270 units, by the quantity attempted at the operation, 300 units. The result is the operation FTC.

CALCULATING FIRST TIME CAPABILITY (FTC) AND PROCESS YIELD WITH REPAIRS DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURE The recommended procedure for data collection for a process with repair is similar to the procedure shown in Section I. Step #2 differs because of the need to record rework quantities returned to the process stream. Step #3 differs because there are two values to calculate, FTC and yield. 1. Create a block diagram for the process showing each operation. The flow diagram or floor

layout provided by the plant can also be used. 2. Collect the following data from the demonstration run.

a. Quantity of assemblies attempted. b. Quantity of rejected assemblies from each operation. c. Quantity of rejected assemblies that were repaired for each operation. d. Quantity of acceptable assemblies from the end of the line.

3. Calculate the operation and process FTC and yield using the examples as a guide. CALCULATIONS & EXAMPLES Example 3, Series Process Flow with Repair: In some instances, the PDR will be performed on an existing production line with rework operations. These situations require the ability to determine FTC and Yield separately because FTC and Yield are not equal when rework is included. The primary goal for production demonstration is to demonstrate that the production line is ready and capable of producing at the required quality and quantity. Rework is not part of production demonstration. There are times, however, when we must consider the impact of rework on process output. For those times, this section should be used as a guide to calculate FTC and Yield. Using the three-step, data collection procedure outlined above, the following processed and rejected quantity data were collected during a PDR. The data are shown in Figure 5.

Calculate the FTC for each operation. Operation 1 is shown here with its respective production demonstration data.

Divide the quantity completed, 270 pieces, by the quantity attempted, 300 pieces. Note: Equation 1 from Section I can be used for this operation because rework was not performed.

APPENDIX D PSO Extended Run


PSO Extended Run

This activity is intended for new vehicle launches or major vehicle upgrades to reduce the risk of the vehicle launch. It does not impact the PSO approval process described in this manual but is a supplemental activity to further assure a Supplier’s readiness to support the full volume production with capable processes (see Figure 1).

Figure 1

It is important for the PSO Team to decide the type of PSO Extended Run that will be accomplished and the timing, so it can be integrated into the PSO planning process. In some cases there will be additional pieces built or multiple shifts exercised during the Production Demonstration Run and in other cases there will be additional visits made at later dates to ensure readiness as launch approaches.

Due to the variety of manufacturing processes utilized at Suppliers, the final details of a PSO Extended Run for a particular part are decided by the PSO Team. The following reference options (1-5) have historically been used but other, more applicable, options may be developed as indicated in option number 6.

Option Number

Option Description Option Benefit

1

Expanded production of 1000 or more parts during the PSO PDR.

Higher confidence level that the Supplier can sustain line rate over a longer period of time.

2 Perform 2 separate PSO PDRs with the last run occurring prior to S2 MRD.

Confirms that the Supplier can start the process up on multiple occasions and meet capability and line rate.

3

Perform 3 separate PSO PDRs: Prior to S1 MRD Prior to S2 MRD Prior to V1 MRD

Verifies Supplier’s process consistency and validates readiness for V1 Launch.

4 Perform PSO PDRs on multiple shifts at the Supplier.

Ensures operational readiness on all shifts.

5

In addition to the Pre-S1 PSO, perform a post-launch PSO occurring 2-5 weeks after V1 Launch.

Validates the line rate after several weeks of operation.

6

Any combination of the above 5 options or an appropriate variation for the specific commodity.

Allows flexibility to accommodate unique circumstances.

APPENDIX E Forever Requirements


DCX “Forever Requirements” Process 1. Supplier proposed changes and/or improvements that may require part submission. 2. If changes and/or improvements affect fit, form, function and/or require DCX print modifications�or

have associated costs; then the Supplier must follow the DCX Engineering CN process (i.e., refer to the appropriate DCX procedures).

3. All other proposed changes (part, process, Tier 2 source, etc.) shall follow the “Forever Requirements”

process outlined here. Table 3.1 in the PPAP 4th Edition AIAG manual gives some examples of situations requiring “Forever Requirements” submissions.

�4. Supplier fills out page one (1) of the ‘DCX Forever Requirements/ODD Box Activity Form’. Note: Please

be advised, that this form must be submitted a minimum of three (3) months in advance of the planned change(s) implementation date or within sufficient time for implementation (as determined by DCX).

5. Supplier submits entire ‘DCX Forever Requirements/ODD Box Activity Form’ to the appropriate

Engineer. Note: if the change(s) affects multiple platforms, then the Supplier must submit a copy of the ‘DCX Forever Requirements/ODD Box Activity Form’ to each affected platform Engineer.

6. The Engineer will fill out page two (2) – Section 2.A. If approved by the Engineer, the Supplier will then submit the

entire ‘DCX Forever Requirements/ODD Box Activity Form’ to the appropriate Supplier Quality Specialist. If the change(s) was rejected by the Engineer, then the Supplier must correct the rejected item(s) and resubmit the ‘DCX

Forever Requirements/ODD Box Activity Form’ to the Engineer. Failure to resubmit the form to the Engineer for approval will end the Forever Requirements process for the proposed change(s).

7. After approval by the Engineer, the Supplier Quality Specialist will fill out page two (2) – Section 2.B. If approved by

the Supplier Quality Specialist, the Supplier will submit the form to the appropriate Buyer. If the change(s) was rejected by the Supplier Quality Specialist, then the Supplier must correct the rejected item(s) and resubmit the ‘DCX Forever Requirements/ODD Box activity Form’ to the Supplier Quality Specialist. Failure to resubmit the form to the Supplier Quality Specialist will end the Forever Requirements process for the proposed change(s).

8. After approval by the Supplier Quality Specialist, the Buyer will fill out page two (2) – Section 2.C. If approved by

the Buyer, the submitted change(s) are fully approved by DCX. If the change(s) was rejected by the Buyer, then the Supplier must correct the rejected item(s) and resubmit the ‘DCX Forever Requirements/ODD Box Activity Form’ to the Buyer. Failure to resubmit the form to the Buyer will end the Forever Requirements process for the submitted change(s).

9. The approval (or rejection) process should be concluded by all affected DCX personnel within 10

business days. 10. A fully signed electronic DCX Forever Requirements/ODD Box Activity indicates that DCX approves the

plan ONLY. 11. After the DCX Forever Requirements/ODD Box Activity Form is approved, the Supplier(s) will complete

all remaining tasks including the successful completion of all PER, PSO, PPAP, and other required activities including and appropriate hard copy and/or electronic notification as necessary.

12. After approval by all affected DCX personnel, the Supplier will make copies of the ‘DCX Forever

Requirements/ODD Box Activity Form’ and distribute it to all appropriate DCX personnel as indicated by the Supplier Quality Specialist. In addition, the Supplier will retain the original copy of the fully approved ‘DCX Forever Requirements/ODD Box Activity Form’.

13. Supplier will submit fully approved form(s)�and/or information into Powerway.com as required. Please be advised, the “hard copy format” is being replaced by an electronic Forever Requirement (eFR CN System). Tentative date time frame is early 2007.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Please check https://gsp.extra.daimlerchrysler.com/qlty/pso/index.html for the most current version of the FAQ.


1. How far down do we go with the certification of the extended enterprise? 3rd tier? 4th tier?

Certification down to the production material Suppliers and if applicable any secondary processes/services (e.g. plating, heat treating, etc) would be sufficient.

2. What should our reaction plan be if Suppliers refuse to conduct PSO's on their sub-Suppliers?

PSO is part of DaimlerChrysler's Supplier evaluation and Production Part Approval Process. According to TS-16949 and the DCC Customer-Specific Requirements for TS-16949, Suppliers are responsible for evaluation and Production Part Approval of their sub-tiers. All DCC Suppliers were required to be TS-16949 certified. Note that this does not require that Suppliers perform a PSO specifically, it does require an evaluation and/or PSO-like activity. Failure to conduct evaluations and Production Part Approval of sub-tiers is a failure to meet TS-16949 requirements and may result in the loss of DCC business. Notify the Buyer and P&S Management of any occurrence of this situation.

3. Suppliers don't follow the Lot Acceptance Sampling Table. They always inspect about 5

parts/lot, lot size is 1,000 pcs. Should we force them to inspect as many as the table says?

For attribute sampling, two or more of the inspection criteria in TS-16949 shall be used, otherwise the guidelines in the Lot Acceptance Sampling Table shall be followed. For variable sampling, the Supplier shall be consistent with the Statistical Process Control manual requirements.

4. Collaborative AQP risked parts require a PSO if selected by the PSO Team. If the PSO Team

considers a product to be Self Directed, is PSO required?

Yes. All Self Directed products shall have a Supplier internally led PSO that documents and establishes their production readiness. The Supplier's PSO documentation shall be uploaded into Powerway.com.

All Directed AQP risked products will have both a DaimlerChrysler led AQP and PSO. All Collaborative risked products will have a DaimlerChrysler led PSO and a Supplier led APQP.

5. Since AAR is a requirement for PPAP, shouldn’t AAR be required for PSO approval if the

process appreciably affects color?

AAR is not a requirement of PSO. Refer to the AIAG PPAP manual for an explanation of the relationship between PSO and PPAP.

6. If a Supplier changes a process, where does the Supplier go to start the PSO process, the Responsible Design Engineer or the Supplier Quality Specialist? We've been told both.

Before a Supplier makes any changes to their assembly process they shall initiate a “Forever

Requirements” form and obtain approval from the DCC Release Engineer, ASQP Specialist, and Buyer. The ASQP Specialist will determine the risk level of the change (if approved) and corresponding PSO activity level.

7. Most Suppliers use CMM printout for inspection documentation. Do we need to transfer this

data to the appropriate form?

No, a copy can be attached or a statement provided on the COMMENTS SHEET that the PSO Team verified the measurement.


8. In a multi-cavity tool, should parts come from all cavities to calculate PP and PPK?

Parts should come from all cavities, however each cavity (process stream) should be calculated individually as stated in the Statistical Process Control (SPC) manual published by AIAG.

9. Our forms do not have a control number or issue date. This is an ISO/TS-16949 requirement.

What should be done?

The forms are part of the manual, and they are identified in DaimlerChrysler’s Master Record List.

10. Why don't we take rework into account when calculating FTC?

Greater quantities of rejects increase the potential for greater quantities of non-conforming parts shipped. DaimlerChrysler PSO Teams will review FTC at each Supplier to confirm that defects have been minimized. If rework were included in the FTC calculation, it wouldn't be a measure of First Time Capability. While we recognize that rework of in-process rejects is common, we want to measure the true First Time Capability of the process in order to quantify the quality potential.

Appendix C, provides a standard method and examples for calculating FTC for a new process with no rework.

11. Can the PSO Team accept a Production Demonstration Run which is less than 300 pieces/2

hours?

Yes. The PSO Team shall authorize any deviation from requirements (minimum of two hours or 300 pieces, whichever is more stringent) and enter an explanation on the PSO COMMENTS SHEET.

12. Clarify IAA requirements.

Information regarding current interim approval requirements is located in DCC internal procedure PSSP0108. Suppliers do not have access to this procedure and should contact their DCC ASQP Specialist, Release Engineer or Buyer for more information regarding IAAs.

13. You don't have to have PSO approval prior to V1 if you have an IAA. Explain the system of

tool payment after PSO elements 1-20 without an approved PSW.

IAA is not an alternative to PSO. An IAA indicates failure to meet program requirements. It enables shipments on an interim basis to support vehicle development timing until corrective action (PSO approval) can be completed. After a Supplier successfully completes the first 20 elements for both documentation and process, the ASQP Specialist enters a “Z” disposition into Powerway.com which, following the submission of a dimensional warrant, allows tool payment at the discretion of the Purchasing Agent.

14. Can parts used for PV testing be selected from a non-successful Production

Demonstration Run?

In general, parts for PV testing shall be selected from a successful Production Demonstration Run, however, there are exceptions. The PSO Team will review any deficiencies. A non-


successful PDR can only be used for PV testing if the deficiencies are due to documentation discrepancies or appearance (non-functional) issues not involving finish durability.

15. Is the 2000 minimum quantity for FPSC a negotiable amount?

Yes, however, any deviation from the 2000 minimum shall be explained using the PSO COMMENTS SHEET.

16. If the PSO is not approved does this imply that there is no FPSC?

No, FPSC is still required, but it will probably extend the time period and quantity of the FPSC.

17. Who gets the FPSC form in the plant? Is there an organization to handle this?

The Supplier shall review the completed form with the PSO team and upload it into Powerway.com. The Supplier shall also retain the original form for up to one year following the launch.

18. Regarding FPSC, what if we take a truck frame with 400 dimensions, for example. How many frames do we need to measure? All 2000?

The PSO Team, working with the Supplier, will determine what shall be an adequate plan to satisfy the FPSC requirements.

19. It's critical to know where parts are going - if there are 3 truck plants, it could mean 6000

parts for FPSC.

FPSC requires that the first 2000 parts shipped to each customer facility be certified. If there are 3 truck plants, then 6000 parts will require FPSC.

20. Expand the FPSC explanation. Add examples for attendees to follow. Include a slide that explains a statistical analysis of the first 2,000 pieces is required which is different than the 300 piece PSO capability study.

The 300 piece Production Demonstration Run that is part of the PSO, satisfies the component requirements for PV testing, other testing, S1 vehicles, and S2 vehicles. These components are not intended to satisfy the FPSC requirements. However, under certain circumstances, the PSO Team may allow the remainder of these PSO parts, if any, to be included with production parts shipped to the Assembly Plant. Refer to the DaimlerChrysler FPSC procedure PSSP0106.

21. If an offshore DaimlerChrysler employee performs a PSO in his/her local country, this manual

requires them to use English for the master documentation. This should be a team decision.

DaimlerChrysler is a global company. As stated, English is the official language of DaimlerChrysler and therefore an English translation has to be available. It does not preclude other language versions.

22. Who pays for additional manpower needed to support FPSC?

FPSC is a PSO requirement and any additional manpower or tooling needed to fulfill this requirement is the sole responsibility of the Supplier.


23. At what level must packaging be signed off?

Supplier designed packaging shall be signed off by DaimlerChrysler Corporate and the receiving Assembly Plant Material Handling Engineering prior to “Z” approval of the PSO using the Unit Load Data (ULD) sheet (available in the DCC Packaging and Shipping Instructions manual.) Actual packaging shipping test shall be signed off by DaimlerChrysler Assembly Plant Material Handling Engineering prior to PSO “A” approval. Packaging shipping simulation testing shall be signed off by Corporate Material Handling Engineering prior to PSO “A” approval. For DCC designed packaging, PSO approval must not be delayed due to a lack of approval(s). Any questions concerning approval of DCC designed packaging should be referred to the DCC Material Handling Group.

24. Is it acceptable for a Supplier to add or remove operators from a production line during the

line speed demonstration?

The number of operators required for the production line shall be identified on the Process Flow Chart, Manufacturing Layout, and/or Workstation Layout. The Supplier may not deviate from this number during the PDR; line-balancing and other ergonomic or efficiency studies are expected to be completed prior to the PSO On-Site visit.

25. If a reference characteristic is showing out-of-specification on the Initial Process Study, should I approve the PSO?

This depends on what is meant by a “reference” characteristic. Strictly speaking, a reference dimension does not have a tolerance and, therefore, cannot be out-of-specification. Basic dimensions, on the other hand, use general print tolerances; if these are out-of-specification, then the PSO must be rejected. All dimensions on the design model must meet and be capable to DCC specifications, even those not regularly monitored.

26. The Supplier has several required documents that they consider proprietary, and will not allow

us to review them. How do we handle this?

As stated in Element 7 (cl. 7.7): “Note: For source packages that reflect proprietary document exclusions, those documents sited for exclusion are not required to be uploaded into Powerway.com. However, these documents shall be available for review at the request of the DCC ASQP Specialist. A cover page with the documents title block, revision level and date is required to be uploaded in place of the actual document.” Review of the documents may take place at the Supplier’s location or at a DCC location, at the discretion of the team. In those rare cases when a Supplier refuses to allow DCC personnel to review required documents at all, the PSO should be rejected and the matter brought up to DCC management (ASQP, Engineering, and/or Purchasing, as appropriate.)

GLOSSARY


ADVANCED QUALITY PLANNING (AQP): a structured method of defining and establishing the required steps necessary to assure that a product satisfies the customer. AQP embodies the concepts of defect prevention and continuous improvement as contrasted with defect detection. AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY ACTION GROUP (AIAG): a group founded in 1982 by representatives from DaimlerChrysler, Ford, and General Motors. The purpose of the AIAG is “to provide an open forum where members cooperate in developing and promoting solutions that enhance the prosperity of the automotive industry. AIAG's focus is to continuously improve business processes and practices involving trading partners throughout the supply chain.” The AIAG website is at http://www.aiag.org/. BOUNDARY SAMPLES: part samples created as a visual inspection aid for operators. Samples are typically created at the specification limits (e.g. “go” and “no-go”) or at the worst-possible acceptable condition (e.g. “no worse than”.) Boundary samples must be clearly marked and/or identified to prevent shipment to the customer and properly controlled to prevent degradation and ensure relevance. BUZZ – SQUEAK – RATTLE (BSR): objectionable vehicle noise attributes. All BSR issues are tracked by Vehicle Development and subsequently assigned to the most responsible party for resolution, be it Engineering, Manufacturing, or the Supplier. Although somewhat subjective, BSR issues shall be eliminated in order to achieve customer satisfaction. CAPABILITY STUDY: is a statistical analysis of the output from a machine or a process to determine its ability to produce product that meets specifications. This analysis is especially important when a new product is introduced so product quality and variation reduction can be assessed. CATIA: is a computer aided three dimensional interactive applications design and manufacturing system. This software was developed and is maintained by Dassault Systemes of France and is marketed in the United States by IBM. It is known as a CAD/CAM system. CHRYSLER DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM (CDS): CDS provides a framework for a total systems approach to Product Creation. This framework will shorten the overall time for the development and launch of a vehicle, while providing a forum for sharing. Consistency among product teams is achieved by using a standard process. The CDS process keeps the design window open for a longer period to ensure products meet or exceed external requirements. At the same time, it ensures that the design and feasibility for both product and process is complete prior to execution. This is key to the CDS process. By completing design and feasibility prior to execution using virtual design tools, costly changes are eliminated in the execution and launch phase. The CDS website is at http://roadmap.tcc.chrysler.com/cds/what_is_cds.htm. CONTINUING CONFORMANCE TESTING (CC): tests and evaluations performed after production launch to monitor the effects of processing and to assure continued conformance to engineering requirements. CONTROL PLANS: written descriptions of the systems for controlling parts and processes. They are written by Suppliers to address the important characteristics and engineering


requirements of the product. Each part shall have a Control Plan, but in many cases, “family” Control Plans can cover a number of parts produced using a common process. Customer approval of Control Plans may be required prior to production part submission. COVISINT: A web based system that grants qualified Supplier users access to selected portions of the DaimlerChrysler Network. CP: capability index that “compares the process capability to the maximum allowable variation as indicated by the tolerance. This index provides a measure of how well the process will satisfy the variability requirements. … CP is not impacted by process location. This index can be calculated only for two-sided (bilateral) tolerances.” (Statistical Process Control Manual, pg. 132)

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AUDIT (CSA): a comprehensive review of a vehicle’s as-shipped quality as it leaves an assembly plant. The CSA provides a reliable real-time indicator of vehicle quality. DESIGN FAILURE MODE AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS (DFMEA): formalized method for quantifying the risk associated with identified potential design failure modes. It is used to identify corrective actions required to prevent failures from reaching the customer. The DFMEA is a living document that is updated as the design changes and progresses through design verification and production. DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS (DOE): a statistical approach to efficiently plan and structure a series of controlled tests. In its broadest sense, it encompasses planning, setting up, and running the tests, and analyzing the data. The goal is to identify the sources of product variation that should be optimized or avoided for consistent product performance with a minimum number of tests. DESIGN VERIFICATION PLAN AND REPORT (DVP&R): formalized test planning and reporting tool. It lists all testing necessary to assure that functional and reliability criteria and target requirements are defined in specific measurable terms. It provides a convenient reporting format for Engineering Development (ED), Design Verification (DV), Production Validation (PV) and Continuing Conformance (CC) testing. DESIGN VERIFICATION (DV) TESTING: testing phase that demonstrates the final released component or assembly meets design intent. The tests, sample sizes, and performance requirements are detailed in Engineering Performance Standards. DRAWING CHANGE LEVEL (DCL): the latest design level of the released drawing. It is a two digit alpha field that can be accessed on ODCICS2 through screen ENAA or ENJA. ELECTRONIC CORPORATE ISSUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (e-CIMS): DCC’s electronic system for documenting serious issues that arise during vehicle prototype, launch, or volume production phases. ENGINEERING STANDARDS: are written requirements that describe materials, processes, performance, reliability, quality and/or design requirements for a material, process, or part or a family of materials, parts, or systems. ENGINEERING STANDARDS SUPPLIER DISTRIBUTION (ESSD): the DCC computer system that gives Suppliers access to DCC Engineering Standards. It is available on-line at https://essd.extra.daimlerchrysler.com/ESSD/Login.jsp. ERROR PROOFING: Error proofing is a method used to identify potential process errors and either designs them out of the product or process, or eliminate the possibility that the error could produce a defect. Examples of error proofing include:

� A rod clip designed to work in left- and right-handed parts (as opposed to separate clips for each;

� A hole or slot designed so that mating parts can only fit in the proper orientation; � An operation that will not function until all components are present in the proper

orientation.


EXTENDED ENTERPRISE��: is a DaimlerChrysler coordinated process that unifies and extends the business relationships of Suppliers and Supplier tiers in order to maximize the effectiveness of vehicle development, minimize total system costs, and improve quality and customer acceptance. FIRST PRODUCTION SHIPMENT CERTIFICATION (FPSC): the purpose of FPSC is to ensure that initial production shipments meet all DCC product specifications. FPSC is intended to identify part problems and contain the parts at the Supplier’s manufacturing facility during the launch phase. FPSC requires the Supplier to provide statistical evidence of conformance to special product and/or process characteristics prior to the shipment of components to the DCC (or DCC-designated) assembly plant. Certification is for a minimum of 2000 parts (per assembly plant) or for a specified period of time as identified by the PSO team. 100% of the FPSC parts are to be inspected for conformance to special product and/or process characteristics. FIRST TIME CAPABILITY (FTC): FTC is equal to the number of acceptable parts produced divided by the number of parts rejected during the PDR. Rework and repair are NOT counted in the number of acceptable parts, nor are parts initially rejected by the process but found to be acceptable after re-testing. See Appendix C for examples. GAGE DIMENSIONING & TOLERANCING (GD&T): a system of symbols used to define part and part feature shape, size, position, tolerances, etc. GAGE REPEATABILITY & REPRODUCIBILITY (R&R): a method used to rate the appropriateness of a measurement system as a percentage of the product tolerance or process variation. Repeatability is a measure of the ability of the gage to repeat a given measurement, and is evaluated by repeatedly measuring the same parts (equipment variation). Reproducibility is a measure of the ability of people to reproduce a series of measurements using the same gage, and is evaluated by two or more operators independently repeating the inspection of a set of parts (appraiser variation). HOME LINE: Supplier’s assembly line located in the manufacturing facility where volume production of the part(s) takes place using production tooling and processes. INTERIM APPROVAL AUTHORIZATION (IAA): documentation and approval to temporarily use a part that does not meet PPAP approval requirements for Pilot builds, launch, or production. ISO/TS 16949: is a Technical Specification that describes, in conjunction with ISO 9001:1994, the Quality System Requirements for Automotive Suppliers. ISO/TS 16949 has been prepared by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) for all participating worldwide OEM’s. KEY <D> CHARACTERISTICS: designated by the � or <D> symbols on Engineering Source Documents. Key Product Characteristics are toleranced and measurable characteristics (i.e. dimensions, torque etc.) of a part, component or assembly that may cause failure to meet customer satisfaction specifications due to manufacturing and/or assembly, and therefore, require special attention to ensure acceptable results. Reference PS-7300 “Key Product Characteristics – the Use of Diamonds” for additional information.


LINE SPEED: the contracted maximum tool capacity rate determined by dividing the Daily DaimlerChrysler Tooling Capacity (Pieces per Hour) by the Supplier’s Net Operating Time for DaimlerChrysler Parts (Hours/Day). The Line Speed shall be verified during the Production Demonstration Run. LOT: specific amount of material or group of components; not to exceed eight hours or one day’s production, whichever is smaller. MANUFACTURING FLOOR PLAN: a pictorial layout of the entire manufacturing facility drawn to scale. It is to include all machinery, office space, lab space, shipping-receiving areas, quarantine areas, hold areas, etc. The layout shall also indicate any proposed areas for expansion and development. MISTAKE PROOFING: Mistake proofing is an approach used to develop methods to clearly identify errors that may occur and prevent them from becoming non-conformances. Examples of mistake proofing include:

� Sensors, optics, and/or vision systems that detect missing or incorrectly-assembled components;

� End-of-line (“EOL”) testers that check functional requirements; � Pick lights or barcoding to assist in proper part selection; � Continuity testing for electrical components.

NET OPERATING TIME FOR DAIMLERCHRYSLER PARTS: equal to the number of hours (normal work pattern), less scheduled “down-time” (e.g. breaks, start up, preventive maintenance, shared production, tool changeovers, shut-down, etc.) and time scheduled to run other customers’ parts and/or other DCC parts. NON-CONFORMANCE TRACKING (NCT) SYSTEM: DCC’s electronic system for documenting and tracking part issues at the manufacturing plants. It also provides a method for replacement of those parts and for Supplier dispute of the issue. Serious quality issues are also documented in the e-CIMS system. NVH: Noise – Vibration – Harshness are measurable perceptions of vehicle attributes. These items are usually discovered and measured by DaimlerChrysler’s NVH laboratory facilities. NVH attributes are typically tuned to a certain frequency and amplitude in order to achieve an overall vehicle signature frequency. This signature is optimized by vehicle development for the best customer responses. OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS: lists of steps in performing an operation that may contain inspection requirements, required tools and gages, SPC applications, sample size and frequency, and acceptance/rejection criteria. They shall communicate all requirements involved in that particular operation. These shall be readily available to the operator. PACKAGING: material that is used to store and ship parts. It provides protection and containment of parts. It affects ease of handling by manual or mechanical means. Packaging may consist of returnable or non-returnable items including dunnage. PART CHANGE LEVEL (PCL): the latest design level of the part (not necessarily the drawing). It is a two digit alpha field found on ODCICS2 through screens ECCE or ENCZ.


PART SUBMISSION WARRANT (PSW): an industry-standard document required for all newly-tooled or revised products in which the Supplier confirms that inspections and tests on production parts show conformance to customer requirements. PERISHABLE TOOLS: tools which are consumed in the process of producing a product, and are usually a cost item, e.g., drill bits, cutters, sockets, driver tips, inserts, hobs, broaches, welding tips, etc. PP: performance index that “compares the process performance to the maximum allowable variation as indicated by the tolerance. This index provides a measure of how well the process will satisfy the variability requirements. … PP is not impacted by process location.” (Statistical Process Control Manual, pg. 133)

PRE-PSO DOCUMENTATION REVIEW: a meeting conducted by the PSO Team, chaired and coordinated by the ASQP Specialist, with the Supplier. The meeting is conducted at a DCC selected location prior to the PSO On-Site visit. The purpose is to review all of the


Supplier’s required documentation in a sequential way and determine the Supplier’s readiness for the Production Demonstration Run (300 pcs.) and PSO On-Site Visit. Generally, a Pre-PSO meeting is held for Directed and Collaborative AQP activity level programs; it is not a requirement for programs with a Self-Directed AQP activity level. PRE-PRODUCTION SAMPLE REPORT (PPSR): a dimensional and performance verification document, submitted with all part samples used prior to S1 Start. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE (PM): a planned system of actions performed to prevent breakdown of a machine or equipment as a result of normal use. PROCESS CAPABILITY: the 6

C� range of inherent variation in a stable process. Reference the Statistical Process Control AIAG manual for more information. PROCESS PERFORMANCE: the 6

P� range of total process variation. Reference the Statistical Process Control AIAG manual for more information. PROCESS FAILURE MODE & EFFECTS ANALYSIS (PFMEA): a structured method of documenting historical or potential process failure modes, their effects, and the controls taken to ensure their detection and/or prevention. The PFMEA rating system allows quantification of the risk presented by each failure mode with the Risk Prevention Number (RPN). The RPN is used to prioritize recommended actions. The PFMEA is developed by a cross-functional team and is uniquely developed for each process/product. PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM: chart that illustrates the flow of materials through the process. The diagram generally starts at receiving, and includes work in process, production, shipping (including any special processing which may result from a nonconformance requiring disposition), and rework or repair operations. PROCESS SIGN-OFF (PSO) ON-SITE VISIT: a systematic and sequential review of the Supplier’s manufacturing process conducted by a PSO Team at the Supplier’s production facilities. The ASQP Specialist is responsible for leading the PSO On-Site Visit for Directed and Collaborative AQP activity level programs; the Supplier leads their own for Self-Directed AQP activity level programs. PRODUCTION DEMONSTRATION RUN (PDR): a production run conducted during the PSO On-Site Visit consisting of at least 300 parts or 2 hours of production (whichever is more stringent). The PDR is on the production line of record, with trained operators, PPAP (or equivalent) approved components and materials, and run at a rate equal to the daily maximum tooling capacity. The DCC PSO Team will be on the manufacturing floor during the PDR for all Directed and Collaborative AQP activity level programs. PV test parts are taken from the PDR to demonstrate that the production process has not degraded the design performance that was verified during DV testing. PRODUCTION PART APPROVAL PROCESS (PPAP): process for ensuring that production parts are manufactured that meet customer requirements. Parts PPAP shall be taken from a significant production run. DaimlerChrysler requires that this run is a minimum of two (2) hours or 300 pieces, whichever is more stringent, unless otherwise stated in writing by the customer. Parts from each position of a multiple cavity die, mold, tool or pattern are to be measured and representative parts tested. Reference the PPAP 4th Edition AIAG


manual and the DaimlerChrysler (Chrysler Group) Customer-Specific Requirements for the PPAP 4th Edition for more information. PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: all engineering drawing requirements including standards referenced on those drawings and within the pre-source package. Some of these requirements are determined by team consensus during Advanced Quality Planning meetings and Design Reviews and can take the form of Safety Standards, Material Standards, SRPC’s, Temporary Standards, Process Standards, Laboratory Standards, Reliability Standards, or Performance Standards. PRODUCTION VALIDATION (PV) TESTING: tests performed to validate design conformance of initial production parts manufactured with production tools and processes. REPAIR: action taken on non-conforming product so that the product will fulfill its intended usage, although the product may or may not conform to specification. REWORK: action taken on non-conforming product so that it will meet specification. ROOT CAUSE: the assignable source of variation that affects all the individual values of the process output or phenomenon being studied. Root cause is the reason for the primary nonconformance, which has induced other failures and for which effective permanent corrective action can be implemented. S0 START – CDS Quality Gate D1. S0 is the first pilot build program based on product components and systems that meet design specification, produced off tools and equipment allowing build to production process intent. It includes vehicle and property builds that verify product and process design and train key plant personnel. Components may be built using hard or soft tools, as determined to be appropriate based on part or process knowledge required. Design verification (DV) testing shall be successfully completed before parts are submitted for S0. S1 START: CDS Quality Gate C. S1 is a home plant build to validate tooling, equipment and verify facilities. Vehicles are built for the certification test plan. Components for S1 are required to be PSO and PPAP approved. S2 START: CDS Quality Gate [no letter designation]. S2 is the home plant facility validation build. Vehicles are built for fast feedback and rental fleet feedback programs, and for dealers.

SAFETY <S> CHARACTERISTICS: Designated by the S or <S> symbols on Engineering

Source Documents. They are product characteristics or manufacturing process parameters which can affect safety or compliance with government regulations. See PF-SAFETY – “Product Safety – Use of Safety Shields <S>” for more information. SAMPLING PLAN: plan that defines the minimum number of parts that shall be inspected from a given population (see DaimlerChrysler’s Lot Acceptance Sampling Table Plan in this manual). SEQUENTIAL SENSING: type of sensor that detects if a series of operations are performed in the correct order. Example: A station requires that an assembly receives a


screw, washer, and nut (in that order.) A sequential sensor would detect and flag (through lights, station lock-out, etc.) if the nut was put on before the washer. SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS: product characteristics or manufacturing process parameters which can affect safety or compliance with regulations, fit, function, performance or subsequent processing of product. They include all governmental, Key (diamond) <D>, emissions <E>, safety (shield) <S>, torque requirements, and characteristics identified as SPC points on the design model. See PS-7300 - “Key Product Characteristics – the Use of Diamonds” for more information regarding Key characteristics and PF-SAFETY for additional information regarding Safety characteristics. STATISTICAL CONTROL: the condition describing a process from which special causes of variation have been eliminated. Only common causes remain; e.g., observed variation could be attributed to chance causes. On a control chart, statistical control is evident by the absence of points beyond the control limits and by the absence of non-random patterns or trends within the control limits. STATISTICAL PROBLEM SOLVING (SPS): the organized use of special problem solving tools (e.g. Fishbone Diagrams, Pareto Charts, ANOVA, etc.), to better understand problems, their root causes and determine solutions. STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL (SPC): the use of statistical techniques such as control charts to analyze a process or its outputs to take appropriate actions to achieve and maintain a state of statistical control and to improve the process capability. SUB-COMPONENT: one or more parts that when assembled together results in the End-Item Assembly or module. SUB-TIER SUPPLIER: see TIER 2 (& LOWER) SUPPLIER. SUPPLIER READINESS EVALUATION (SRE) RUN: the first documented build attempt by the Supplier following installation, setup, and tryout of the production equipment and tools. The Supplier Readiness Evaluation Run shows that the process is set-up, debugged, and ready for a Production Demonstration Run during the PSO On-Site Visit. The Supplier Readiness Evaluation Run and analysis provides the Supplier with the opportunity to optimize and refine the process. The Supplier, with the concurrence of the DCC PSO Team, will determine the quantity of parts that are completed during this run. The purpose of the SRE is to provide pre-production data that confirms the proper set-up, operation, and performance of the installed production line. Data collected during this run typically include measurement data, machine cycle times, operation times, quantity attempted, quantity accepted, etc. From this data, estimated production rates, FTC, yields, and PP and PPK for special characteristics are calculated. There are no minimum requirements for process performance, FTC, yields, or other indicators at this time. The DCC PSO Team will evaluate the data from this run when deciding whether to schedule the PSO On-Site Visit. SUPPLIER TOOL RECORD (STR): A form generated by the creation of a new TPO (Tool Purchase Order) requiring the identification of Supplier, or DaimlerChrysler owned tooling, affected by the TPO.


SUPPLY CHAIN: includes all Suppliers used in producing a given part; from tier one to the source of production materials. SUPPLY CHAIN MAPPING: a method used to look at the complexity of the extended enterprise value chain. Mapping details the manufacturing process, transportation and other factors that go into component production.

TIER 1 SUPPLIER: a Supplier who is responsible for providing components, services, or raw material directly to DaimlerChrysler. All references to “Supplier” in this manual refer to a Tier 1 Supplier, unless otherwise specified. Note that in the case of some modules, the Supplier of a module component may be treated as a Tier 1 Supplier, even though they do not ship directly to DCC. TIER 2 (& LOWER) SUPPLIER: a Supplier who is responsible for providing components, services, or raw material to another Supplier in the Supply Chain. A Tier 2 supplies a Tier 1, a Tier 3 supplies a Tier 2, and so on. All references to “sub-tier” or “sub-tier supplier” in this manual refer to a Tier 2 (or lower) Supplier, unless otherwise specified. VERIFICATION SAMPLES: samples created with known defects in order to verify the performance of Error and Mistake proofing. Verification samples must be clearly marked and/or identified to prevent shipment to the customer and properly controlled to prevent degradation and ensure relevance. WORK IN PROCESS (WIP): product that has not gone through the entire production process or is incomplete in some way.
