Documentation of Traceability from Procurement to Shipment Sample Clauses

Documentation of Traceability from Procurement to Shipment. The Supplier must ensure that his manufacture and assembly batches or lots as well as his goods in batches or lots are traceable from incoming material through production and manufacturing batches or lots through delivery to Oerlikon. The Supplier must ensure the same for his upstream suppliers. More extensive measures are defined if necessary (attribution to process parameters, marking of individual parts.) Coordination with the Oerlikon receiving plant on traceability method is recommended! Oerlikon requests that the Supplier determines and records product and process data according to the control plan in order to reduce possible follow-up costs for the Supplier. This is also applicable for parts with serial numbers. As the basis of this recorded data, the following must be ensured: • the containment of the concerned units • the assignment of production conditions and special characteristics of the products (actual values) to production and incoming goods lots/batches/serial numbers • the ability to reconstruct the causal chains if problems appear. The Supplier must determine appropriate batch or lot sizes, appropriate marking methods and data necessary for the documentation on the basis of his knowledge (know-how regarding the product and the processes). In consideration of possible follow- up cost he must maintain appropriate records. Traceability includes all upstream process steps (also those of the sub-Supplier). The Supplier must be able to assign the delivery slip numbers of his deliveries to his job ticket and incoming goods numbers. Reworked parts must be delivered separately from regular series parts and provided with a separate delivery slip (reworking must be noted and described on the delivery slip). 2.4

Prior to ship reworked parts, a process change request (PCR) must be available with a positive answer from Oerlikon. The supplier will retain quality records in accordance to the legal and contractual requests, but for a minimum of 15 years. 2.4
