|
|
Detailed Steps
|
1.
|
Quality System Requirement
|
|
How to Do:
The items outlined here are designed to clarify the basic elements required for an effective quality system. Suppliers should utilize procedures and systems that build from these basic elements. A Quality System based on a valid version of ISO 9001 or TS16949 quality system standards is preferred.
The preferred level of compliance is to have the Quality System certified by a third party registrar.
An acceptable alternative is assessment by a second party.
|
2.
|
Quality Planning
|
|
How to Do:
|
|
2.1
|
Quality Planning
|
|
How to Do:
Quality Planning:
The suppliers methods to control the quality of goods or services provided to DPG West Lafayette should be documented in a Quality Manual. The supplier should review and update their manual on a regular basis to assure the manual meets the suppliers current quality objectives and programs.
For specific parts, DPG West Lafayette may require Product Quality Planning documents. For parts that require product quality planning, the plans and related documents must be submitted to DPG West Lafayette Quality Dept. along with "First Article" submission. When required, DPG West Lafayette indicate what documents are required on the purchase order.
The supplier will perform design and/or process Failure Mode Affects Analysis (FEMA) when required by DPG West Lafayette
Quality Dept.
|
2.2
|
Drawing Control
|
|
How to Do:
The supplier must assure that the latest revision of all drawings are available to all concerned and that they understand their requirements.
Any clarifications or interpretations of drawings and/or specifications should be initially directed to DPG West Lafayette's Purchasing Dept.
|
2.3
|
Design and Process Change Control
|
|
How to Do:
As a supplier to DPG West Lafayette, your products play a key roll in helping assure we can keep our commitments to our customers. Our Quality Policy commits us to providing the highest quality products and best value with on time delivery every time. DPG West Lafayette can not achieve the goal of our Quality Policy without your support.
One area that must be given particular attention is the issue of change. It is essential that DPG West Lafayette be notified of all process changes, even those that do not obviously affect the measurable features of a part. DPG West Lafayette must approve changes in order to avoid any adverse impact on our customers.
The types of changes:
- Alternate materials
- New tooling/ Major refurbishment/ Modified tooling
- New sources for sub-contracted parts, materials or services
- Process changes for method of manufacture
- Production from tooling and equipment transferred to a different plant or location.
Notices of process changes are to be submitted in advance of implementation to the Quality Assurance Manager of DPG West Lafayette. Your support and compliance to this requirement is greatly appreciated.
|
2.4
|
Measurement and Test Equipment
|
|
How to Do:
The supplier should maintain adequate inspection and test equipment to assure product conformance to specifications. All measuring instruments, fixtures and test equipment used to measure conformance to specifications must be calibrated prior to use and at pre-established intervals to ensure continued accuracy. Calibration must be done in accordance with internationally or nationally recognized standards such as N.I.S.T. Records of calibration are to be maintained (by device) that show the date of calibration, the results of the last calibration and the next scheduled calibration date.
|
2.5
|
Manufacturing Process Control
|
|
How to Do:
The supplier should apply procedures and controls that maintain identification of materials, conformance to specifications and test requirements.
Some common elements used to maintain sufficient control include:
1) Instructions, written process, test and inspection procedures that are readily available and understood by the personnel performing the work.
2) Determination of Process Capability
The potential for a process to produce parts within specifications is determined through process capability study. A minimum goal should be a CPk of 1. ( a CPk of 1 equates to a process that produces 99.73% within specifications.)
3) Ongoing Process Control
The supplier should maintain in-process inspection or tests that are adequate to maintain continuous control of the production process. Characteristics identified by DPG West Lafayette as critical to quality should have statistical control measures applied. DPG West Lafayette may require statistical control for critical to quality characteristics. When specific controls are required by DPG West Lafayette, records of inspection or test results should be documented for review by DPG West Lafayette Quality Assurance.
|
2.6
|
Product Identification & Packaging
|
|
How to Do:
The supplier must maintain controls to identify and protect the product during the manufacturing and delivery cycle. These controls should be designed to protect the product from damage and contamination during manufacture, storage and delivery.
|
|
|

|
Found at the Supplier
|
|
How to Do:
The supplier should have procedures in place to control non-conforming product and preclude it's inadvertent shipment to DPG West Lafayette. DPG West Lafayette Quality Assurance must be immediately notified of any shipments of non-conforming material. DPG West Lafayette can then contain the non-conforming material and initiate corrective action. The supplier will be responsible for any costs incurred by DPG West Lafayette to sort, rework or return non-conforming goods.
When material is known to be non-conforming Suppliers must obtain a signed deviation from DPG West Lafayette Quality Assurance before shipping.
|
3.2
|
Found at DPG West Lafayette
|
|
How to Do:
When a nonconformance is found at DPG West Lafayette the supplier will be notified by DPG West Lafayette Quality Assurance Dept. DPG West Lafayette will arrange for disposition of the nonconforming material. It is the Suppliers responsibility to bear the costs for returning goods or rework expenses if the rework is done by DPG West Lafayette employees. Any rework to be done at the suppliers expense will be agreed upon before the rework is started.
The supplier will be required to submit a written corrective action plan to DPG West Lafayette's Quality Assurance Department which outlines corrective action measures and effective dates. DPG West Lafayette's Quality Assurance Dept. will issue a Supplier Corrective Action Request (SCAR) when nonconformances occur.
|
3.3
|
Found from Warranty Claims
|
|
How to Do:
In cases where nonconformance is discovered through warranty claims, DPG West Lafayette may ask the supplier to share in the costs associated with the warranty expense. This is not meant to define legal rights and obligations of either DPG West Lafayette or the supplier.
|
|
|

|
Initial Sample requirements
|
|
4.1
|
When Initial Samples May be Required
|
|
How to Do:
DPG West Lafayette may request samples under the following conditions: when parts are being ordered for the first time; when an engineering revision is made to a part; when qualifying a new supplier; when the supplier changes tooling, process, alternate materials or manufacturing location.
Samples should be from production tooling when possible.
|
4.2
|
First Sample Inspection and Test
|
|
How to Do:
The supplier shall perform inspections and tests to assure the samples conform to specifications.
For new parts, the supplier shall submit a first article inspection report upon delivery of the parts. The first article must contain dimensional and test results. The number of parts to be 100% checked will be determined at the time the order is placed, and will come from DPG West Lafayette's Purchasing Dept.
When part revisions, due to Engineering changes or correction(s) to nonconformance from previous sample submissions, the first article inspection need only cover the characteristic(s) affected.
|
4.3
|
Sample Identification
|
|
How to Do:
Sample parts submitted shall have the package marked as samples, contain the -99 Purchase Order number and noted that a sample inspection report is included.
