FMEA. The special characteristics must be identified by the supplier in all product and process documents (e.g. drawing, production control or inspection plan, P-FMEA) and must be taken into account and monitored in all relevant planning or production steps of the supplier. The requirements regarding archiving of quality standard documents and quality records (e.g. test and measurement data) can be found in the legal and customer- or industry-specific regulations. Documents relating to critical characteristics and the PPF- documents (see chapter 9) must be archived for at least 15 years after the end of series production (see VDA guideline Product development: Process description special Characteristics). This also includes the evidence and reports for the annual self-audit regarding the special product/process characteristics (e.g. VW Group D/TLD self-audit). At the Buyer’s request, the Supplier shall grant the Buyer access to the audit reports. Longer retention periods (up to 30 years) are recommended against the background of the limitation periods for product liability claims.
FMEA. The Supplier of products of own design and/or of critical or complex products shall evaluate the potential causes and effects of defects deriving from the implementation of the project/process itself. For the analysis of these potential defects, the Supplier shall use the F.M.E.A. method as a suitable tool to contribute to the elimination of the risk through a systematic analysis of possible failure modes, evaluated according to their severity, probability and possibility of identification. Considering that F.M.E.A. is a tool that can be applied both in the designing and in the manufacturing process, it should be noted that: SAPA requires the project F.M.E.A. for all products designed by the supplier (excluding those in the catalogue).
FMEA. The special characteristics must be identified by the supplier in all product and process documents (e.g. production control or inspection plan, P-FMEA) and must be taken into account and monitored in all relevant planning or production steps of the supplier. The specifications regarding archiving of process data, quality requirements and quality records can be found in the legal, customer and industry-specific regulations (see VDA Volume 1). A process for handling special characteristics must be implemented (see VDA Guideline "Product Development - Process Description Special Characteristics BM"). Documents with reference to special characteristics and the PPF/ EMPB- documents (s. Chap. 9) shall be archived for a period of at least 15 years after the end of series production. This also includes the records and reports for the annual self-audit with regard to the critical product/process characteristics (e.g. VW Group D/TLD self-audit; this audit question list must be requested from the Buyer if needed). Upon request of the Buyer, the Supplier is to allow access to these audit reports by the Buyer. Longer retention periods (up to 30 years) are recommended against the background of the limitation periods for product liability claims.
FMEA. The Supplier shall conduct FMEAs before design and process validation in accordance to AIAG standard. FMEAs shall:
(a) recognize and evaluate the potential failure modes of the design & process as well as effects of failure modes,
(b) identify actions that could eliminate or reduce the chance of the potential failure occurring, and
(c) document the entire process. All identified potential failure modes shall be considered in order to improve the product & process. Supplier shall set up a rating system in its QM-system which identifies the priorities of recommended measures (e.g. RPN, Severity). The first release of each FMEA shall be transmitted to Continental before design validation and process qualification. Each event or change shall be updated in such FMEAs. The process FMEA shall be delivered to Continental, the design FMEA shall be made available for review.
FMEA. At this time no FMEA is will be performed on this effort. FMEA may be performed on any areas of mutually agreed to concerns of possible failure modes or quality issues. If the need for such an analysis be required then it will be added to the project schedule. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REVISION: 02 PART NUMBER: 120337-01 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 OF 16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.

FMEA. The supplier shall, if required to do so, carry out a risk assessment for the avoidance of errors and provide confirmation of this to SAF-HOLLAND. A Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is carried out to discover and investigate potential risks and to assess their significance and probability of occurrence. The FMEA is to be carried out in good time, so that the results and measures can be integrated even at the planning stage. The FMEA must take account of all stages of the product life cycle, i.e. development, construction, production, assembly, packaging, transport and use by the customer, as well as recycling and disposal.
FMEA. In order to minimise any process-related risks, the supplier should create and maintain an up-to-date process FMEA for the products purchased from us. We may review the FMEA, but do not require it to be handed over.
FMEA. At this time no FMEA is will be performed on this effort. FMEA may be performed on any areas of mutually agreed to concerns of possible failure modes or quality issues. If the need for such an analysis be required then it will be added to the project schedule.

FMEA. FMEA (Failure Mode and effect Analysis) is broadly used in system analysis, to list all failures of each component of a system. FMEA is a table like the following (hardware example): N ° component Function Failure mode l Study mode Signal Conse- quences Severity Remarks and recommen -dations
FMEA. The Supplier shall issue a Failure Model and Effect Analysis (FMEA). For the implementation of an FMEA the requirements of AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook must be taken into account. Suppliers commissioned with the development of products (development suppliers) shall also issue a "System and Product FMEA" for the "Process FMEA". In general the effort should be made to evaluate Action Priorities (AP), aim for a reduction in the probability of occurrence and entirely eliminating the chance of failure (e.g. Poka-Yoke, constructive measures, etc.). Measures and their effectiveness review are to be concluded at the start of the product’s series at the latest.
