: Customer Specific Requirements

a) Special Characteristics for VOLVO Individual components or systems that are directly connected to legal requirements or regulations or features of a part that have the potential to impact compliance, are defined using the symbols [CC] or [SC]. These symbols appear on VOLVO drawings or are stated within the related VOLVO technical specifications controlling the part. VOLVO standard STD_105-0007 defines the guidelines for grading the characteristics. The designation of [CC] or [SC] differentiates the degree of significance of the characteristic in question. [CC]: Critical Characteristics refer to special characteristics which affects safety. [SC]: Significant Characteristics refer to special characteristics which can affect compliance with regulations, form, fit, function and performance, or subsequent manufacturing-process steps. It is mandatory for [1],[2],[3],[CC] & [SC] features to be inspected or tested and the necessary documentation (inspection results, test reports, certificates) to be kept at the supplier for a period of time consistent with the document retention policy. For all features identified as a special characteristic, the following requirement applies:

b) Safety Management - VOLVO Safety requirements are determined based on the potential of a feature, product or system to create a personal hazard to any person in contact with the products or effects caused by the product. A safety Customer effect is considered when a danger can lead to injuries to vehicle operator, passengers, other travelers, passers-by or maintenance personnel. The production of safe, fully conforming products to the VOLVO group companies is the supplier’s responsibility and is part of the supplier’s contractual commitment. Suppliers are responsible to ensure that all subsuppliers and contractors are aware of and comply with the requirements related to safety requirements. Suppliers of safety critical components must have safety system requirements embedded in their quality management system. Suppliers must be able to demonstrate they have the organization, systems, processes, and competencies to manage the VOLVO requirements related safety critical features. VOLVO has developed and uses a technical audit to evaluate the safety management systems of suppliers of safety related parts. A safety management audit will be conducted during the sourcing process and potential suppliers are required to achieve a passing score prior to supply. Suppliers those achieve a passing score but do not achieve 90% are required to develop a detailed action plan with a time line for achieving 90% score. This plan must address all audit findings. A copy of the Safety Management Audit template is available for review on the VOLVO supplier portal.

c) Quality System Requirements - VOLVO VOLVO requires all suppliers and sub-tier suppliers are 3rd party certified ISO 9001 with a plan for achieving ISO/TS 16949.

The result of a process audit will indicate the performance of supplier and identifies potential areas for continual improvement. Process audit must be done for the actual process chain at the supplier’s / sub-supplier’s manufacturing end. Scope: QMS audit of critical processes applies to Casting, Metallurgy (Forging, Heat treatment) and Surface treatment part suppliers of specific customer application based on AIL’s discretion. Supplier Responsibility: The Supplier is responsible to develop and maintain their process quality in a way that audit score of 60% or above is guaranteed and no stopping parameters exists. Regardless of the score suppliers are expected to work aggressively to address any concerns or action items identified during audit. Procedure: 1. Supplier will be identified for the audit based on the following criteria prior to commencement of supplies to specific application. • Parts proposed to be used for VOLVO export application. • Any other parts intended by specific customer requirements. 2. AIL Purchase will issue a written notification along with required formats about the audit to the supplier prior to the scheduled time of audit. Audit will be done along with customer for certain customer specific requirements as per their procedure. 3. Upon completion of audit, AIL auditor and OE customer will jointly prepare a summary report and then meet with the supplier to discuss the results and countermeasure plan activities. 4. A detailed report on audit findings with actual scores will be sent to the supplier by AIL within a week. For the audit findings, the supplier has to give the countermeasure plan for all the observations within 10 days. Countermeasure plan must be signed by the supplier’s top management. 5. After the issue of countermeasure plan, the supplier is required to present the plan and actions implemented to AIL.

Section – 28 :

Corrective Action

This report should be initiated by the supplier in case of repeated nonconformances is observed in the product i.e. repetitive. Concession/deviation requests and in the case of quality complaints received from AIL and also depending upon the magnitude of problem. The supplier should immediately generate the referred document describing the details about the problem, interim corrective action planned and initiated, identified root cause and implementation of permanent corrective actions in order to prevent recurrence of such defects. Implementation and effectiveness of the corrective and preventive action will be verified by AIL as appropriate through evaluation visit to the source or through evaluation of future lots after the date of corrective action. In case corrective action requires any change in process/part/material it shall be done in consultation with AIL. Countermeasures should be implemented carefully and keeping the following points in mind. -

It should not simply end with verbal instructions, guidance, education to workers etc., but should result in up gradation of control system and review/revision of standards and procedures.

-

Consider if it is possible to install error-proofing devices in the process to prevent errors.

-

Investigate if there is a danger of occurrence of a similar parts or similar processes. If such possibilities are there, then implement countermeasures against each of them. When there is a rejection in supplied components, rejection note is raised in the format “F/COM/QAD/003” ( refer annexure page no. 66) Incase of rejection which is significant in terms of quality / application requirements, an additional note will be raised requiring “Corrective Action Report” in the format “F/COM/QAD/032” attached ( refer annexure page no.67). Purchase department will send the original rejection note along with corrective action format to the supplier. Purchase department will ensure that corrective action report is completed and received with in 10 days. The completed reports will be scrutinized by QAD and subsequent three batches will be monitored for the absence of such defects. The corrective action will be considered as cleared after that. If the corrective action report is not received with in 10days, further lots from the concerned supplier will not be accepted.

Section – 30 : SPC related Terms Definition of Quality: Totality of characteristics of an entity that bear on its ability to satisfy stated and implied needs of customers. Definition of Quality Control: Quality control is “the process through which we measure actual quality performance, compare it with a standard, and act on the difference”

SPC Statistical Process Control is a tool for controlling the manufacturing process to prevent defects rather than detect them.

STATISTICAL Taking of measurements and arrangement of those measurements in clear pattern to allow predictions to be made on performance.

PROCESS Any activity that involves a combination of Man, Machine, Material, Method, Environment working together to produce a final product.

CONTROL Comparing actual performance with target and decide when and what corrective action is necessary to achieve the target. A process is said to be in statistical control when the only source of variation are from common causes. Process capability is determined by the variation that comes from common causes.

VARIATION No two products or characteristics are exactly alike, because any process contains many source of variability. The differences among products may be large or they may be immeasurably small, but they are always present. In practice, variation is inevitable in any process or product. The variation is of two types. 1. Inherent variation due to Common causes (or) Chance causes 2. Identifiable variation due to Special causes ( or) Assignable causes

Page 35 of 76

1). Inherent Variation due to Common causes / Chance causes / Random causes Sources of variation which are built into the process and will be caused by such problems as vibration, speed, power etc., These are the sources of random variation, the extent of which can be measured and monitored. This level of variation will continue unless a fundamental change occurs in the process. 

A large number are in effect at any time



Each has an individual effect that is too small to mention



Only a change in the system will reduce that part of the variability



Remain constant over time

2). Identifiable Variation due to Special causes / Assignable causes. Sources of variation which will be due to specific identifiable causes such as variation in raw material, operator, tool wear, wrong setting, state of maintenance, etc., these removal are usually the responsibility of someone who is connected directly with the operation Ideally, only inherent variation in the process is preferred. If only the inherent variation is present, the output of the process will form a pattern which is stable over time and predictable. The occurrences of special causes will produce additional variation on irregular basis which will remove the predictability of the process. 

Very few in effect at any time



The effect is measurable



They can be found and eliminated



The machine operator is best able to discover and make changes



They occur infrequently in an unpredictable manner.

Process Capability: To understand the extent to which a quality characteristic of a process meets the specified requirements, “Process capability” analysis done. It is a comparison between the spread of the quality characteristic to the specification limits.  Process Capability concerns with the Variation caused by all sources of variations : The Machine, The Material used, The Methods employed, The people involved and The environment as it affects the product  To make a process capability study, Data must be collected over a fairly long period of time the machine.

Process Capability & Performance: Definition of Cp: Cp is an index comparing the variation within the process to the spec limits. The higher the number, the less variation in the process.

Definition of Cpk: Cpk is an index (a simple number) which measures how close a process is running to its specification limits, relative to the target of the process. The larger the index, the less likely it is that any item will be outside the specifications. Cpk 0.5 1.0 1.33

Process Capability Study Page 39 of 76

Preliminary and periodic process capability studies are to be conducted for the characteristics specifically intimated by AIL as safety/Significant/Critical characteristics.

This is represented in the drawings. An acceptable level of process capability must be determined by evaluation using variables data.

The purposes of this study if to find out whether the production process is likely to produce product that will meet AIL requirements.

Preliminary process capability study using X bar & R chart is the starting activity. These are short term and will not predict the effects of time and variation in people

materials,

methods,

equipment,

measurement

systems

and

environment whereas periodic process capability captures all the above variations.

For short term studies the sample size should be at least 25 sub-groups of data containing at least a total of 125 individual readings.

The control chart should be examined for signs of instability. If there are signs if there are signs of instability, corrective actions should be taken.

If stability cannot be achieved, contacts AIL and determine appropriate action.

Section – 31 : Failure Modes and Effect Analysis FMEA (System, Design, Process, Service), as applicable, shall be carried out by the supplier. He shall share with AIL about the details pertaining to potential failure.

Process FMEA Process Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (Process FMEA) is a method for identifying potential or known processing failure modes and providing problem follow-up and corrective actions. PFMEA is an analytical technique used to identify potential problem areas associated with all stages of manufacturing i.e. right from receipt to dispatch. Efforts shall be taken to improve the process to achieve defect prevention rather than defect detection.

Objective: The Process FMEA is a disciplined analysis of the part process with the intent to identify and correct any known or potential failure modes before the first production run occurs. Once these failure mode is systematically ranked so that the most severe failure modes receive priority attention. The completion of Process FMEA is the responsibility of individual product / process engineer. This individual process engineers is the most knowledgeable about the process structure and can best anticipate the failure modes and their effects and address corrective actions.

Timing: The Process FMEA is initiated during the early planning stages of the process before the machines; tooling, facilities, etc are purchased. The Process FMEA is continually updated as the process becomes more prior to the first production run. Requirements: Completing the Process FMEA form FMEA risk ranking Guidelines

Ranking of failure modes and causes: It will be most desirable to eliminate all Failure modes and causes. However practical considerations based on cost and time, dictate the need to tackle only those critical modes and causes based on a priority ranking system. The ranking system in FMEA is based on the probability of 1) Occurrence 2) Severity 3) Detection

Page 41 of 76

Occurrence: Estimate the probability of occurrence of the potential failure on a 1 to 10 points scale. Only controls intended to prevent the cause of failure from occurring should be considered in this estimate.

Severity Ranking: Severity is an estimate of the effect on the user. Severity is the factor that represents the seriousness of the failure to the customer after it has occurred. Estimate the severity of “Effects of failure” to the customer on a 1 to 10 points scale.

Detection: Apply a scale of 1 to 10 which will enable probability of detection to be rated. Each assignable cause must be addressed and the probability of detection rated.

Risk Priority Number (RPN) It is a measure of design risk. It is the product of the Severity (S) x Occurrence (O) x Detection (D) Higher the RPN the team must undertake efforts to reduce the risk through corrective actions. However the action plan should be planned for failure modes having higher severity and occurrence rating also, irrespective of the RPN.

PFMEA – Team Effort: During the initial process potential FMEA preparation, the responsible engineer is expected to directly and actively involve representatives from all affected areas. These areas should include. But not limited to design, assembly, manufacturing, materials, quality, service and suppliers as well as the area responsible for the subsequent assembly. The FMEA should be a catalyst to stimulate the interchange of ideas between the functions affected and thus promote a team approach. The process FMEA is a living document and should be initiated before or at the feasibility stage, prior to tooling for production, and take into account all manufacturing operations from individual components to assemblies. Early review and analysis of new or revised processes is promoted to anticipate, resolve or monitor potential process concerns during the manufacturing planning stages of a new method or component program. The process FMEA assumes the product as designed will meet the design intent. Potential failures which can occur because of a design weakness need not, but may be included in a Process FMEA. Their effect and avoidance is covered by the Design FMEA. The Process FMEA does not rely on product design changes to overcome weakness in the process, but does take into consideration a product’s design characteristic relative to the planned manufacturing or assembly process to assure that, to the extent possible, the resultant product meets customer needs and expectations.

Page 43 of 76

Process function / requirements Enter a simple description of the process or operation being analyzed (e-g., turning, drilling, tapping, welding, assembly). Indicate as concisely as possible the purpose of the process of operations with different potential failure, it may be desirable to list the operations as separate processes.

Potential Failure Mode Potential Failure Mode is defined as the manner in which the process could potentially fail to meet the process requirements and /or design intent. It is a description of the non-conformance at that specific operation. It can be a cause associated with a potential failure mode in a subsequent (down stream) operation or an effect associated with a potential failure in a previous (upstream) operation. However, in preparation of the FMEA, assumption should be made that the incoming part(s) are correct. List each potential failure mode for the particular operation in terms of a component, subsystem, system or process characteristics. The assumption is made that the failure could occur, but may not necessarily occur. The process engineer/team should be able to pose and answer the following questions: 1).How can the process / part fail to meet specifications? 2).Regardless of Engineering Specifications, what would a customer (end user, subsequent operations or service) consider objectionable? A comparison of similar processes and a review of customer (end user, subsequent operations or service) claims relating to similar components is a recommended starting point. In addition, knowledge of the design is necessary. Typical failure modes could be, but are not limited to bend, cracked, grounded, binding, deformed, open circuited, burred, dirty, short circuited, handling damage, tool worn, etc.,

Potential Effect(s) of Failure Potential effects of failure are defined as the effects of the failure mode on the function, as perceived by the customer. Describe the effects of failure in terms of what the customer notice or experience, remembering that the customer may be an internal customer as well as the ultimate end user. State clearly if the function could impact safety or noncompliance to regulations. The effects should always be stated in terms of the specific system, subsystem or component being analyzed. Remember that a hierarchical relationship exists between the component, subsystem and system levels. For example, a part could fracture, which may cause the assembly to vibrate, resulting in an intermittent system operation. The intermittent system operation could cause performance to degrade, and ultimately lead to customer dissatisfaction. This intent is to forecast the failure effects to the team’s level of knowledge. Typical failure could be noise, poor appearance, erratic operation, unpleasant odour, inoperative, etc.,

Page 44 of 76

Severity (S) Severity is an assessment of the seriousness of the effect (listed in the column “potential failure mode” to the customer). Severity applies to the effect only. If the customer affected by a failure mode in the assembly plant or the product user, assessing the severity may lie outside the immediate process engineer’s / team’s field of experience of knowledge. In these cases, the Design FMEA, Design engineer, and/or subsequent manufacturing or assembly plant process engineer should be constituted. Severity should be estimated on a “1” to “10” scale. Suggested Evaluation Criteria: (The team should agree on an evaluation criteria and ranking system, which is consistent, even if modified for individual process analysis.

Page 45 of 76

Classification: This column may be used to classify any special characteristics for components, subsystems or systems that may require additional process controls. If a classification is identified in the Process FMEA, notify the design responsible engineer since this may affect the engineering documents concerning control item identification. Note: An item identified in the Design FMEA should have the special process controls identified in the process FMEA.

Potential cause (s) / Mechanism(s) of Failure: Potential cause of failure is defined as how the failure could occur, described in terms of something that can be controlled. List to the extent possible, every conceivable failure causes assignable to each potential failure mode. If a cause is exclusive to the failure mode, then this portion of the FMEA thought process is completed. Many causes however are not mutually exclusive, for example, may be considered to determine which root cause are the major contributions and which can be most easily controlled. The causes should be described so that remedial efforts can be aimed at those causes, which are pertinent. Typical failure causes may include, but are not limited to •

Improper torque – excess / less



Improper weld - current, time, pressure



Inaccurate gauging



Improper heat treatment – time, temperature



Inadequate gating – venting



Inadequate / no lubrication



Part Missing or mis-located

Only specific errors or malfunctions (e-g, Operator fails to fit a seal) should be listed, ambiguous phrases (e-g, operator error, machine malfunction) should not be used.

Page 46 of 76

Occurrence (O): Occurrence is how frequently the specific failure cause / mechanism is projected to occur. The occurrence ranking number has a meaning rather than a value. Estimate the likelihood of the occurrence on a “1” to “10” point scale. Only occurrences resulting in the failure mode should be considered for this ranking. Failure detecting measures are not considered here. The following occurring ranking system should be used to ensure consistency. The “Possible Failure Rate” is based on the number of failures which are anticipated during the process execution. If available from a similar process, statistical data should be used to determine the occurrence ranking. In all other cases, a subjective assessment can be made by utilizing the word descriptions in the left column of the table, along with any historical data available for similar processes. Suggested Occurrence Evaluation criteria The team should agree on an evaluation criteria and ranking system, which is consistent, even if modified for individual process analysis.

Page 47 of 76

Current Process Control “Current process controls” are descriptions of the controls that either prevent to the extent possible the failure mode from occurring or detect the failure mode should occur. These controls can be process controls such as fixtures or statistical process controls (SPC), or can be post process evaluation. The evaluation may occur at the subject operation or at a subsequent operation. There are three types of process controls / features to consider those that: 1) Prevent the cause / mechanism or failure mode / effect from occurring, or reduce their rate of occurrence. 2) Detect the cause / mechanism and lead to corrective actions, and 3) Detect the failure mode. The preferred approach is to first use the type1 controls to the maximum possible extent and then other two types in the order. The initial occurrence rankings will be affected by the type 1 controls provided they are integrated as part of the design intent. The initial detection rankings will be based on the type 2 or type 3 current process controls, provided the process being used is representative of process intent.

Detection (D) Detection is an assessment of the probability that the proposed type2 current process controls, listed in column 16, will detect potential cause/mechanism (process weakness), or the probability that the proposed type3 process controls will detect the subsequent failure mode, before the part or component leaves the manufacturing operation or assembly location. Estimate the detection controls in a “1” to “10” point scale. Assume the failure has occurred and then assess the capabilities of all “current process controls” to prevent to prevent shipment of the part having this failure mode or defect. Do not automatically presume that the detection ranking is low because the occurrence is low (e-g, when the control charts are used), but do assess the ability of the process controls to detect low frequency failure modes or prevent them from going further in the process. Random quality checks are unlikely to detect the existence of an isolated defect and should not influence the detention ranking. Sampling done on a statistical basis is a valid detection control.
