Design and Process Development Clause Samples
Design and Process Development. If the order to the Supplier contains development tasks, the requirements to be met with regard to that development shall be laid down in writing, e.g. in the form of a specification (Lastenheft). Upon acceptance of the order, the Supplier undertakes to operate a system of project man- agement which must already be implemented from the planning stages of the products. It must also cover procedures and other cross-divisional tasks and must comply with the stand- ards accepted in the automotive sector according to VDA or AIAG in the current version, and will, upon the Customer’s request, provide the Customer with all documents required (pur- suant to the regulations of the VDA, AIAG and the document 10.4.038 filed in the ESP). From the start of the development, the Supplier must use adequate preventive methods of quality planning in order to guarantee the zero defects target. Preventive methods must, for example, consist of a feasibility study, design and process FMEA (analogously also the Prod- uct or Process FMEA), reverse FMEA, reliability study, verification and validation of the design and process development, etc. The supplier shall review FMEA by using Reverse FMEA (R-FMEA) tool. In order to switch from Corrective to preventive actions, the supplier shall check at shop floor level their Existing FMEA and provide necessary activities to avoid occurrence or at minimum to improve detec- tion of Non conformity.
Design and Process Development. If the order to the Supplier contains development tasks, the requirements to be met with regard to that development shall be laid down in writing by the Customer, e.g. in the form of a specification (Lastenheft). Upon acceptance of the order, the Supplier undertakes to operate a system of project management which must already be implemented from the planning stages of the prod- ucts. It shall also cover procedures and other cross-division tasks and shall comply with the standards accepted in the automotive sector (e.g. VDA volume 4.1 - 4.3, APQP, Phased PPAP in accordance with AIAG and MMOG). Upon the Customer’s request, the Supplier shall provide the Customer with all documents required. The Supplier shall – upon receipt – examine all technical documents, such as specifications, drawings, lists of materials and CAD data, with regard to their possible implementation. The Supplier shall immediately inform the Customer of any defects and risks discovered as well as of any possible improvements. From the start of the development, the Supplier shall use adequate preventive methods of quality planning in order to guarantee the zero defects target. Preventive methods shall, for example, consist of a feasibility study, design and process FMEA (analogously also the Product or Process FMEA), reliability study, verification and validation of the design and process development, etc.
Design and Process Development. If the order to the Supplier includes development tasks, the requirements shall be laid down in writing by the contracting parties. In the development phase, the Supplier shall apply appropriate preventative methods of quality planning, e.g., manufacturing feasibility analysis, reliability studies and FMEA.
Design and Process Development. If the order to the Contractor includes development tasks, the development requirements shall be stipulated in writing by the Client, e.g. in the form of a specifications book. Upon order acceptance, the Contractor undertakes to engage in project management from the planning phase of products, processes and other cross-departmental tasks that corresponds in particular to the policies accepted in the automotive industry (e.g. VDA volume 4.1 - 4.3, APQP, PPAP) and shall provide the Client with all required documents on request. The Contractor shall always check the feasibility of all technical documents, such as specifications, drawings, parts lists and CAD data upon receipt and in doing so, shall immediately inform the Contractor of any errors and risks identified as well as possible improvements. At the start of development, the Contractor shall use suitable quality planning preventive methods in order to guarantee the zero-error objective. Preventive methods include for example a feasibility study, design and process FMEA (also analogous to the system, product or process FMEA), verification and validation of the design and process development etc. The Contractor shall agree manufacturing and testing conditions with the Client for prototypes and pre-series parts. The results shall be documented and attached to the deliveries. The objective is to manufacture pre-series parts under conditions that are close to series production. The Contractor shall take into account all parameters and features during the process planning (work plans, test plans, equipment, tools, machines, capability analyses etc.). As proof that the Contractor is in the position to complete the requirements for the product in the required quantity and quality, it shall carry out a performance test in coordination with the Client (capacity analysis, proof of process capability) under series conditions and shall assess the data accumulated in the process statistically. Before the start of series production, initial samples manufactured under series conditions must be presented to the agreed extent and approved by the Client. Initial sampling shall take place in accordance with VDA volume 2 (presentation stage 2) if separate provisions on the product and process approval procedure (e.g. PPAP) of the Client are not defined. To fulfil the requirements of the End-of-Life Vehicle Directive, the material data for prototypes, pre-series and series parts are to be stored in the IMDS. Exceptions can ...
