3.2.1 Control Level Definition and Start of APQP-Process

Purpose:

• CLD (Control Level Definition): Veoneer is assessing and rating the project risk based on the selected supplier, the product and the process criticality. This is determining the level of control and follow-up from Veoneer and supplier side during the project, as defined in the "SQPS-927 CLD3 GUIDELINES".
• Launch the Product Quality Plan-process through the use of APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning). APQP is a structured method of defining and establishing the minimum steps and requirements necessary to ensure that the product satisfies the Veoneer requirements and to assure that all required steps are completed on time.

Input from Veoneer:

• Information about the determined Control Level Definition (CLD) and resulting reporting requirements in SQP project in VPP (see Training) (Check 'SQPS-927 CLD3 GUIDELINES ')
• Veoneer key milestones.
• Support and participation (on request) in setting up and updating the supplier project time line synchronized with the Veoneer key milestones. (Project-Synchronization)
• S-APQP-reporting frequency.
• CC/SCs and preliminary drawings and specifications and the necessary D-FMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) information.

Requirements:

1. For all projects - CLD 1, 2 and 3 :

(Ref.: "SQPS-927 CLD3 GUIDELINES" ):

• Establish the supplier S-APQP-process in 'SQP IT application in VPP' and the supplier project plan based on the synchronized project time line.
• Follow the project plan, the S-APQP-process and execute the project controlling using 'SQP IT application in VPP' in line with supplier internal and VSM (Veoneer Supplier Manual) requirements.
• Problem and potential risk analysis.
• In case of any problems or deviations of demands vs. expected results (risks for project's timing and/or quality) the supplier shall inform Veoneer immediately (in writing) and provide problem analysis and recovery plan proposal.
• Initiate and maintain continuous update of S-APQP tasks and deliverables using 'SQP IT application in VPP'.
• Report APQP-progress and submit the S-APQP-template according to defined frequency. Report APQP-progress by submitting S-APQP and PPAP deliverables according to expectations from CLD & PPAP levels submission directly in "SQP IT application in VPP"

2. Additional S-APQP requirements for CLD 2 projects

(Ref.:"SQPS-927 CLD3 GUIDELINES")

• The supplier and Veoneer shall conduct S-APQP review meetings.

3. Additional S-APQP requirements for CLD 3 projects

(Ref.:"SQPS-927 CLD3 GUIDELINES")

• The supplier and Veoneer shall conduct S-APQP review meetings and Go & See PFMEA activities as preventive actions at supplier site.

Output from Supplier:

For all projects:

• S-APQP established and reporting started using 'SQP IT application in VPP'.
• Supplier project plan shall be described and planned with SQ using 'SQP IT application in VPP'.
• Problem and potential risk analysis and recovery plan, if applicable.

Required Documents:

• SQP project tasks status updated by supplier in 'SQP IT application in VPP'.
• SQP project tasks deadline updated by supplier in 'SQP IT application in VPP'.
