EXTERNAL SUPPORT. In the event of repeated and/or constant disruption, caused by the Supplier, during the course of the project, product or process planning and or implementation work, IMS CS reserves the right to refer the Supplier to a supplier improvement scheme.
3. Process and Product Approval The Supplier must evaluate and document its approvals for the individual stages of the product and process development. The procedure for approving production processes and products is based on either VDA Vol. 2 (PPF) or the production parts approval procedure (PPAP) of the Automotive Industry Action Group (AAIG). IMS CS reserves the right to specify one of these two procedures or an equivalent procedure; a planning meeting will be held with the Supplier to discuss this after the contract has been awarded to the Supplier. All activities relating to process and quality planning must have been completed before the production process and product approval (PPF/PPAP) begins. The production process and product approval process (VDA Vol. 2 / AIAG PPAP) is carried out in accordance with Section 3. IMS CS will, by prior arrangement, carry out process approval procedures (R@R) at the Supplier's premises if required. The success of the production process and product approval procedure is one of the prerequisites for full payment of the project-specific tool costs and/or the costs of jigs and fixtures.
