-The supplier must specify all relevantand control features of the products (materials) in question in the product (material) drawings and technical documentation –they are usually defined on the basis of along standing experience, in the framework of the design or process FMEA or by other demonstrable investigation methods.

-The supplier must document his qualification (Cp, Cpk) for certain features.

5.1.Release of reference samples

-Granulates

-In this case, reference samples are components that are manufactured under serial conditions by injection presses in the customer’s premises and are carefully tested by the customer.

-These samples are manufactured from the supplier’s granulate, which is also produced under serial conditions and carefully tested by the supplier.

-The supplier is obliged to carry out all material tests that are required by the customer.

The extent and method of submission of the documentation must be mutually agreed.

5.2.Specifications of series deliveries

-The form “Supplier Agreement on Delivery Quality” F-07-31 serves as a document proving the delivery acceptance and must be signed by both parties upon the approval of the reference samples and before the commencement of the deliveries of goods (material).

-Document F-07-31 also specifies in a greater detail the potential requirements for the accompanying documentation of the deliveries (certificates, measure protocols, etc.).

  1. Quality requirements for series production

-The supplier must permanently ensure, monitor and prove the capacityof its production processes.

-The supplier must be able to document the capacity of the respective production process by the Cp, Cpk values or in other demonstrable ways.

-In case the capacity of the process is not ensured, there must be a methodology defined by the supplier to ensure that the product quality requirements will be met.

-The supplier must implement the manufacturing process regulation–it must be able to justify the defined relevance of features and the process regulation method including, as appropriate, the measures taken on the basis of the process regulation.

-If the customer requires so the supplier shall be obliged to maintain the documentation of D/TLD parts according to the quality system VW Formel Q – Capability.

-All measuring instruments influencing the product (material) quality must be calibrated regularly in accordance with the calibration schedule; the calibrations must be documented.

-If a defective component (material) is found, the supplier is obliged to stop the delivery of all components (material) which might be defective, and notify the customer of all already delivered products (material) if there is a risk of such defects occurring among these products; defective components (material) must be separated from compliant components (material), properly marked and stored at a place designed for these purposes. The supplier is obliged to keep records on types and occurrences of defects and on taken measures. The supplier undertakes to take measures to prevent the occurrence of noncompliant products without any price rise.

-The supplier bears full liability for its noncompliant product and the consequences issuing from the delivery of such noncompliant product to Kasko or its customer.

-The supplier must have an internal and product audit plan (in compliance with VDA 6.5) and must respect the dates defined therein; an audit must be recorded in an audit protocol includingthe specification of any possible remedial measures–their efficiency must be evaluated following their implementation.

-The supplier must have in place a system for identification, calculation and monitoring of costs related to the quality of products (material) supplied to Kasko.

-A standard requirement for requalification of delivered parts (unless the customer requires otherwise) is the frequency of once in 3 years. The supplier shall deliver the complete requalification results within this deadline without request or the supplier shall be obliged to deliver the requalification upon request, as the case may be, the requalification scope must be mutually agreed.

  1. Deliveries

-Deliveries must be carried out in accordance with the approved requirements (reference samples, quality agreement), in the agreed packing method and in the agreed quantity and time.

-If any non-compliance is detected, the Purchasing Department (in cooperation with the Quality and EnvironmentManagement Department, as the case may be) shall inform the supplier about this fact and both the parties shall agree on one of the possible ways to remedy the non-compliance (resorting; substitution delivery; issue of credit note; discount).

-In case of a complaint procedure, Kasko shall issue a complaint report. The supplier shall be obliged to issue a written statement on the complaint report and determine appropriate remedial and preventive measures (Kasko expects a prompt and flexible solution of the problems occurred). Unless required otherwise, Kasko expects the delivery of a 8D-Report with the following performance: D3 within 24 hours, D4 (analysis) within 7 calendar days, D8 within 14 calendar days. Verification and validation of the measure (closure of 8D) – within 30 calendar days.

-Deliveries packed in a different manner than agreed or deliveries without accompanying documents shall also be considered to be non-compliant deliveries.

-In urgent cases, Kasko reserves the right to sort the necessary quantity of parts with the aim of preventing the stoppage of the Kasko production line, if circumstances permit.

-The supplied is obliged to mark the product/material during the production process with appropriate means. Kasko requires that a trace system is in place that enables reverse tracking of products/materials (origin of material, date of production, etc.). Kasko further requires a consistent application of the FIFO support system and separation of individual series of products and batches.

  1. quality objectives

-The quality objectives are specified in Schedule No 7 – PPM Plan for Suppliers while the performance below the agreed upper limits does notexempt the supplier from its obligation to handle all complaints and to implement continuous improvement. The supplier´s liability for deficiencies and problems caused by faulty deliveries and the compensation of damages caused by the delivery offaulty parts/material remains unaffected thereby.

  1. Supplier Evaluation

-The evaluation of suppliers is carried out by Kasko on a regular basis – annually.

-The annual evaluation consists of four parts:

- Supply quality evaluation

- Qualitative qualification evaluation (certificate,audit, questionnaire, etc.)

- Environmental behaviour evaluation

- PPM evaluation

-Evaluation of the quality of deliveries is carried out on the basis of evaluation of all deliveries in a given period.

-PPM evaluation is carried out on the basis of the PPM Plan (Schedule No. 7). Kasko is authorised to set individual ppm targets, for example in case of a multiple exceeding of specified ppm.

-A letter with the annual evaluation results is sent to each supplier (subsequently after the evaluation).(If necessary - evaluation B, C - remedial measures are required and verified during a follow-up audit.)

  1. AUDITS

-Kasko is entitled to conduct its own control audits on the supplier’s premises; the supplier must allow Kasko employees to conduct the audit on its premises whenever it is requested to do so.

-The supplier must ensure the presence of the competent employees and availability of the appropriate documentation in order to ensure a smooth running of the audit.

-In the event that any non-compliance is detected, the supplier must prepare an action plan for its remedy; a follow-up audit can take place in order to verify whether the non-compliance has been remedied.

-If the agreed measures intended to remedy the specified quality problem that might cause a complaint or endanger the end customer are not implemented, the supplier shall bear costs thus incurred (follow-up audit, problem analysis, additional costs from the end customer, etc.).

-The audit can be performed with regard to the requirements included in the current valid version of ISO 9001, IATF 16949 and VDA 6.3.

  1. Additional Costs

-If any additional costs are incurred by Kasko in relation to the supplied components,

they will be charged to the supplier.

-Additional costs may be incurred as a result of:

- Failure to meet the quality requirements

-Failure to meet the prescribed packing method

- Unsuitable labelling

- Delivery of incorrect quantity of products (more, less)

- Late delivery

- Complaint handling – re-invoicing of costs charged by the end customer as well as settlement of costs incurred by Kasko
