Quality and Test Planning. 7.1 Feasibility Analysis/ Risk Analysis/ FMEA An analysis of the technical feasibility including the evaluation of capacity planning by the Supplier must be carried out within the scope of the enquiry or in the case of the Buyer’s first order in accordance with a new or changed specification (OFWN). The Supplier shall apply adequate preventive methods of quality planning and fault prevention („Core tools“- FMEA, MSA, SPC, PPF/PPAP, APQP), if relevant. The VDA standards VDA 2, VDA 4 and VDA 5 provide a guideline. A procedure for process FMEA must be defined in writing at the Supplier's premises and must correspond to the AIAG- or VDA method. If applicable, the risks of alternative production steps must also be assessed in the process FMEA. Handling of characteristics with special requirements for documentation and archiving (see OFWN) specified by the Buyer must be fulfilled by the Supplier (in accordance with VDA 1). These special characteristics must be supplemented by the critical parameters from the supplier's manufacturing process. All special characteristics must be taken into account in the Supplier's specification documents, e.g. in the production control or inspection plan and in the P-FMEA. The archiving periods for the documents belonging to the special characteristics are to be adhered to in accordance with Chapter 6.2.
Quality and Test Planning. 7.1 Feasibility Analysis/Risk Analysis/P-FMEA An analysis of the technical feasibility including the evaluation of capacity planning by the Supplier must be carried out within the scope of the enquiry or, in the case of the first order from the Buyer customer, regarding the processing of a new product number and with each specification change (e.g. new drawing index). The result of the feasibility study shall be communicated to the Buyer in writing as part of the offer documents. The Supplier shall apply adequate preventive methods of quality planning (quality plan or equiva- lent) and fault prevention (P-FMEA or other equivalent failure mode, influence and criticality analy- sis). These also include the consideration of preventive measures to prevent the use of counterfeit or presumably counterfeit parts that could be delivered to the Buyer. The handling of the key characteristics of the components defined by the Buyer or the Buyer's cus- tomer must be specified and complied with by the Supplier in writing. If relevant, the key character- istics are specified in the Buyer's drawing and can be supplemented by the critical parameters from the Supplier's manufacturing process. The archiving periods for the documents belonging to the special characteristics are to be adhered to in accordance with Chapter 6.2.

The VDA standards VDA 2, VDA 4 and VDA 5 provide a guideline. A procedure for process FMEA must be defined in writing at the Supplier's premises and must cor- respond to the VDA or the customer-specific (OEM) FMEA method. If applicable, the risks of alter- native production steps must also be assessed in the process FMEA. The special characteristics determined by the Buyer or the Buyer's customer are defined in the Buyer's technical drawing. These special characteristics must be supplemented by the critical pa- rameters from the supplier's manufacturing process. The special characteristics must be taken into account in the drawing, in the Supplier's production control or inspection plan and in the Supplier's P-FMEA. The archiving periods for the documents belonging to the special characteristics are to be adhered to in accordance with Chapter 6.2.
Quality and Test Planning. Within the scope of quality and test planning, the Supplier will establish the following: − Which test characteristics are suitable for performing an appropriate test and verification of the quality level. − The measuring methods to be used and the suitability of the measuring methods for the intended measuring task. − The place and time of the quality checks to be performed. − The type and form of data collection and documentation. This includes the statistical procedure designated for quality control, such as SPC. − Response plans and responsibilities in the case of identified deviations in the quality checks. The Supplier will implement the overall concept of test planning to avoiding quality risks and to early fault detection. Test concepts designed exclusively for the detection of defective products at the end of the process do not meet Xxxxxxx'x quality requirements. The Supplier will justify the meaningfulness and expediency of the test planning to Kärcher upon request. Kärcher reserves the right to demand additional tests in the event of recognized quality risks for Kärcher.

The VDA guidelines VDA 2, VDA 4 and VDA 5 provide a guideline. A procedure for process FMEA must be defined in writing at the Supplier's premises and must correspond to the AIAG & VDA FMEA Manual or the customer-specific (OEM) FMEA method. If applicable, the risks of alternative production steps must also be assessed in the process FMEA. The entire manufacturing process chain, including sub- supplier processes, must be checked for the risk potential of material mix-ups. All necessary measures are to be taken to eliminate the risk of material substitution (e.g., introduction of efficient security systems to exclude plagiarism).
