3.2.3 Prototype Order and Delivery

Purpose:

Prototype parts are parts used for Veoneer prototype builds, Design Validations or engineering evaluations.

Documented data is required to support further investigation and verification of final assembled product performance and capability over the whole tolerance range.

Input from Veoneer:

• Prototype purchase order including list of requirements (required level of prototype documentation, sample quantity, lead time, labelling, packaging, prototype drawing and specifications etc.).
• Feedback from Veoneer's prototype reviews and tests on request.

Requirements:

Suppliers chosen for prototype delivery shall submit prototypes with prototype documentation as requested by Veoneer.

Prototype Documentation may consist of the following, but not limited to:

• Cover page
• Dimensional Report
• Material Certificate
• Checking Aids (make a list of measurement equipment and gauges and reference to product characteristics).
• Test Results (use the QS-9000 form "Performance Test Result“).
• Appearance Approval Report (use the QS-9000 form "AAR").
• Action Plan for deviations.
• Prototype parts shall use Pre-PPAP Labeling on outside and inner containers and as defined in VSM General Logistic Section. (Pre-PPAP Label) (Pre-PPAP Label Requirements)

The prototype manufacturing process should be controlled by a Prototype Control Plan.

For Prototypes, which do not meet the prototype drawings and specifications, the supplier shall clearly describe the deviations.

Prototypes shall be marked and traceable to the sample's manufacturing- and sub-component lots.

The prototypes should be (as much as possible) produced using serial technology and manufacturing process if not otherwise defined by Veoneer.

Further requirements should be defined at the time of prototype order.

Limit / margin / borderline parts on identified critical and significant characteristics (CC/SC) on request.

--> This is required to prevent quality and functional problems during the life time of the product related to normal lot to lot variation within the defined tolerances. The whole range of variation within the defined tolerances needs to be evaluated.

Output from Supplier:

• Prototype samples (incl. specific marking/labeling)
• Prototype documentation

Required Documents:

• Prototype-documentation (use the AIAG-Manual PPAP-templates) as defined through Veoneer`s prototype purchase order.

Optionally Veoneer standard forms can be used:

1. Prototype Sample Cover Page
2. SQPS-907 Dimensional Report
3. SQPS-904 Checking Aids
4. SQPS-912 Production Part Approval Material Test Results
5. SQPS-901 Appearance Approval Report
6. Action Plan for deviations 

Reference Documents:

• AIAG-Manual PPAP (Production Part Approval Process)
