Scope
1. General
ISO/TS 16949 and this document are the key to define the quality system requirements for Mercedes Benz do Brasil suppliers.
These requirements will be included in any scope to record/certify for ISO/TS16949 issued by a known IATF.
It will be acknowledged as satisfactory in MBBras supplier criteria for the purpose of third party record/certification.
It is expected that the supplier is aware of MBBras functional departments requirements (Development, Purchasing, Quality Management, Logistics and Production) in any price quote request and communication with the purpose of informing its organization and suppliers about such requirements and assess their implementation, including assessing performance and efficacy.
All ISO/TS 16949 requirements and specific Mercedes Benz do Brasil requirements need to be known by the organization and documented in the supplier quality system.
Specific Mercedes Benz do Brasil customer requirements will apply exclusively to all Mercedes Benz do Brasil suppliers, and if such supplier has another Daimler group site as a customer, the supplier will also meet this site specific requirements.

3.1 Terms and definitions for the automotive industry
3.1.1 Active part
An active part is a part that is currently being supplied to an original equipment customer or provided services customer. Tooling of the active parts of MBBras property, when ending the useful life or they no longer serve to the end they were built for in the moment they were given in “loan for use” (comodato), the tooling shall be returned to MBBras.
For tooling parts that do not belong to the customer or for situations when multiple parts are manufactured with the same tooling, a written confirmation is required from the customer to discontinue the part.
3.2 Spare Parts (Aftermarket)
Replacement parts are parts that MBBras provides to their dealers and/or service stations that are designed for vehicle maintenance or repair purposes and components produced by the Daimler group companies. Replacement parts may or may not be produced according to the original equipment specifications.
3.3 Customer
For the purpose of ISO/TS 16949, “customer’ in this document means Mercedes Benz Brasil for suppliers that seek third-party certification for ISO/TS 16949.
3.4 Mercedes Benz do Brasil

3.5 Initial Process Studies
Initial Process Studies (Pp / Ppk) are short-term studies administered to gather, as early as possible, performance information of a new or revised process related to internal needs or customer requirements and specifications. In many cases, initial process studies should be administered in several points throughout the assessment of new processes (for instance, the equipment or tooling at the sub supplier plant after installation at the supplier plant). This study needs to be based on variable data gathered with the use of control letters. See Manual AIAG CEP (Statistical Process Control), VDA. 2 (Product and Process Approval) e MBST 13 (Proof Process Capacity).
3.6 Quality and Supplier Performance Quality Indexes
· São Bernardo do Campo Site = EBSC (External Balanced Score Card) available on the portal Covisint
· Campinas Site = EBSC (External Balanced Score Card) available on the portal Covisint
· Juiz de Fora Site = EBSC (External Balanced Score Card) available on the portal Covisint
3.7 Suppliers

4.2.3.1 Engineering Specifications
Every specification change will be previously notified to the customer to start a new approval process for the product and/or process with the customer approval, according to the requirements described in VDA.2, MBST 13 (Reasons for submission EMPB and notification areas MBBras) and Purchase Orders.
Every product and/or process change must be recorded in the part’s curriculum.
4.2.4 Records control
To define and control documents and records, VDA 1 standard directive needs to be considered. Traceability needs to be ensured for items with special characteristics DS/DZ and for items that are defined by the quality area representative for MBBras suppliers
The identification the product with special characteristic DS/DZ must ensure traceability of the control records related the special characteristic DS/DZ
4.2.4.1 Records retention
Documents and records of the quality associated with the special characteristics DS/DZ need be kept on file for a minimum period of 15 years
Sample process documentation considers MBST 13 (aspect 15: Storage periods of the sample process documentation EMPB/PPF of items with Safety Characteristic DS/DZ)
5.1.1 Process efficiency
High management critical analyses also need to consider results from audits carried out by MBBras, (audit process and/or another similar tool used by MBBras), key performance indicators published by MBBras and internal audit process.
5.5.1.1 Quality Responsibility
To train employees whose functions can impact a product quality, it is required to consider the requirement described in sub element 6.1 “Personal / Qualification” in VDA standard. 6.3.
