Preface

This Reference Manual represents the collaborative efforts of multiple GM worldwide teams engaged to develop a GM Common process manual that includes APQP, Launch, and Current Quality. Prior to this, multiple documents existed to define a Supplier Quality process from APQP through Current Quality.

APQP

The APQP portion of this manual defines GMs common global product quality planning requirements that are necessary to develop and implement an APQP process for a product or service. It is intended as a standard to provide the Supplier Quality Engineer, and the supplier, a common format from which to proceed with all steps of APQP.

Launch

The Launch portion of this manual defines standardized processes that support specific supplier launch readiness activities and APQP deliverables. These globally approved activities are designed to assist in the assessment of launch readiness of all suppliers and ensure execution of flawless launches.Current

The Current portion of this manual defines the standardized work around common processes used globally to protect our manufacturing/assembly plants and to drive systemic improvement to the supply base.

Methodology:


Task Name:PFMEA Methodology: continued The PFMEA is reviewed and updated as necessary each time a design change is made or a processing change is implemented. Any and all potential areas for failure are included in the PFMEA and appropriate corrective actions implemented. The PFMEA RPN Reduction Summary should be adhered to in the categorization of risk, establishment of a top ten list, development of recommended actions, and updated on a monthly basis to monitor progress as required.SQE Responsibility:

Attend initial PFMEA development team meeting, provide GM data (Warranty, PR/Rs, Lessons learned, etc.), and discuss PFMEA methodology.

Monitor progression of PFMEA development and confirm participation of multiple cross-functional team members.

Review RPN Reduction Summary Plans (GM 1927-21), and monitor progress at each Gate review as required.

Ensure that action plans have been adequately defined for high RPNs and high severity failure modes as required.

MEnsure supplier has completed PFMEA reviews with subcontractors.

Manufacturing Engineer Responsibility: Participate in development of PFMEA and RPN reduction strategy.

Approve PFMEA.

Supplier Responsibilities: Initiate PFMEA prior to sourcing as part of the bid package. This preliminary PFMEA should include critical error prevention and error detection ideas and consider any lessons learned from previous programs.

Drive simple and inexpensive mistake/error proof devices into the process to help prevent and detect errors.

Prepare PFMEA with input from a multi-disciplinary team (Assembly, Manufacturing, Materials, Quality, Service, Suppliers, etc.) and identify KCCs for use in control plan.

(Develop System FMEA with manufacturing, engineering, suppliers, and SQEs.

Ensure that the current process controls and results of the recommended actions on the PFMEA are listed on the control plan.

If the process, material, or manufacturing location changes, revise the PFMEA and re-evaluate the affect on severity, occurrence, and detection. Develop and implement a formal documented RPN reduction process that proactively develops and implements RPN reduction plans, and strives to continuously reduce RPNs through the use of error occurrence prevention and defect outflow detection. This activity occurs through the life of the product. Ensure that subcontractors PFMEAs are developed and RPN reduction activities are implemented. Conduct periodic reviews for the life of the product to update PFMEA based on internal data or customer complaints.Additional Information:

Resources:Supplier and SQE

Methodology:

Supplier develops a preliminary control plan using an existing control plan on a similar part. This first version of the control plan is then submitted with the quality portion of the suppliers bid package.

Supplier develops a prototype control plan using the preliminary control plan as a foundation. The control plan is to reflect the process in place to produce pre-prototype and prototype parts and is to be updated as changes are made to the process.

The supplier develops a pre-launch control plan (GP-12) and production control plan using the preliminary control plan as a foundation. The PFMEA and statistical data are used to determine which steps require additional controls. The pre-launch control plan does not need to be a separate document from the production control plan. Pre-launch controls can be documented on the production control plan as long as they are clearly identified as such.

SQE Responsibility:

Verify that the supplier used the PFMEA and statistical data to determine what controls are necessary.

Verify the control plan is linked to the PFMEA and the Process flow chart.

Verify that the control plan covers each phase of the process, including receiving, in-process operations, packaging, labeling and shipping.

Verify that any re-work processes are documented and controlled in the control plan.

Verify that the supplier updates the control plan as solutions to open issues are identified.

Verify that pre-launch issues have been incorporated into the production control plan.


Task Name:Control PlansSQE Responsibility: continued

Task Name:Early Production Containment (GP-12) Task Owner: Supplier

Task Timing:GP-12 control plan review at PPAP

GP-12 containment during timeframe specified by GM customer

Task Description:The purpose of GP-12 is to establish a containment plan during start-up and acceleration, so that any quality issues are quickly identified at the suppliers facility and not at the GM customers facility. This procedure applies to all new and changed parts that require PPAP for start-up or acceleration or whenever mandated by GM on any parts that present significant risk to a customer plant. The containment plan is referred to as the Pre-Launch Control Plan and is developed in the control plan format referenced in the AIAG APQP Manual.

Deliverables: Early Production Containment Plan

Customer for Deliverables:GM Manufacturing or Assembly Facility, Supplier Quality, Purchasing

Necessary Inputs:

Source of Input:Prototype & Production Control Plan

Supplier

GP-12 timetable

GM Customer

Resources:Supplier, SQE, Assembly Plant Methodology:

Supplier follows the GP-12 procedure:

Identification of the person responsible for the containment process.

Development of a pre-launch control plan that includes a separate inspection area whenever possible. (May require checks within the process for components that are not available for check after assembly.)

Prompt containment and irreversible corrective action when non-conformances are discovered. Use of the Early Production Containment Plan for the time specified by GM. This will initially require a 100% check of specific features for pre-pilot and pilot material. Use of green dots (signed by a designated senior management representative) on shipping labels to designate compliance.

SQE Responsibility:

Review the suppliers containment process and pre-launch control plan at PPAP.

Verify any PR/R, prototype or pilot issues are addressed by the containment process.

Verify that high RPNs, KCDS Designators are addressed by the pre-launch control plan.

Verify that the supplier used the PFMEA and statistical data to determine what additional controls were necessary. (short term capability data on actual process or long term capability data on similar processes)

Provide GP-12 timing to supplier (varies by program).

Review suppliers initial GP-12 data to assess compliance to process intent.


Develop an early production containment plan as specified in GP-12.

Develop and implement a pre-launch control plan.

Insure that all non-conformances are contained within the facility.

Root Cause any non-conformances found by GM manufacturing locations and implement additional checking provisions must be added to the pre-launch checklist.


Task Name:Early Production Containment (GP-12)

Supplier Responsibility (continued)

Continue with GP-12 processes in accordance with the procedure; do not exit the process before the exit criteria has been met.

Identify and communicate any changes to SQE. Require compliance to GP-12 from all subcontractors. This will result in subcontractors pulling ahead GP-12 in order to allow the Tier 1 to support GP12 timing.

Manage GP-12 activities with sub-contractors; maintain records of GP12 data for sub-contractors.
