3.2.2 Contract Review Process

Purpose:

  • Contract, design and process review before serial/tool order to prevent problems, misunderstandings and to lower risks.
  • Intention is to make sure the Veoneer requirements and specifications are met.
  • To involve suppliers early enough to be able to introduce changes to improve QCD (Quality, Cost and Delivery). (before design freeze!)
  • To agree on all technical and commercial aspects of the business.

Input from Veoneer:

  • Project information from previous process steps.
  • For CLD 2 and CLD 3 projects (Ref.:"SQPS-927 CLD3 GUIDELINES"), a Contract Review process is started by Veoneer and a review time plan is provided.
  • Updates of drawings, specifications and standards.
  • Delivery and packaging aspects, volumes, ramp-up, PPAP-requirements (Production Part Approval Process), special testing and gauging requirements (if any), VS 412 (Interim Inspection Plan).
  • Veoneer or customer directed sourcing requirements, if applicable.
  • Information from previous lessons learned with same or similar products and processes.
  • Collaboration with supplier to resolve all feasibility and product review open issues.

Requirements:

  1. For all projects the supplier must ensure:
  • That all feasibility and product review open issues are resolved before serial order (e.g. tool order etc.).
  • That updated Team Feasibility Commitment (TFC) and impact on product cost and timing for any design change is provided, when necessary.
  • Review of own and Veoneer provided lessons learned with same or similar products and processes and definition of appropriate actions.
  • Identification and preparation of material-, machine-, man-power- and other requirements to support the ramp-up plan.
  • Compliance with Veoneer source directed requirements, if any.
  1. For CLD 2 and CLD 3 projects (Ref.:"SQPS-927 CLD3 GUIDELINES"), a Contract Review process is started by Veoneer. The requirements for suppliers to actively support this process are:
  • Appropriate supplier representatives participate in the review process and attend the meetings.
  • Supplier prepares and provides necessary information (i.e. preliminary tool design and Process-Flow-Chart, process layout etc.) for the meetings.
  • Actively support the supplier deliverables in the Contract Review Process (use the Contract Review - Template).
  • Finalization and completion of Contract Review Process before serial order (e.g. tool order etc.) :
    • All Contract Review open issues should be closed.
    • For any open issues not closed an approved action plan, which supports the project time line shall be available.
    • Both parties (Veoneer and supplier) commit, agree and sign-off the "Contract Review - Template" -document.

Output from Supplier:

  • Completed Feasibility Study process: All open issues from the TFC (Concern Action Plan) are resolved before Veoneer Design Freeze and serial order.
