Common use of Design and Process Development Clause in Contracts

Design and Process Development. If the order to the Supplier contains development tasks, the requirements to be met with regard to that development shall be laid down in writing, e.g. in the form of a specification (Lastenheft). Upon acceptance of the order, the Supplier undertakes to operate a system of project man- agement which must already be implemented from the planning stages of the products. It must also cover procedures and other cross-divisional tasks and must comply with the stand- ards accepted in the automotive sector according to VDA or AIAG in the current version, and will, upon the Customer’s request, provide the Customer with all documents required (pur- suant to the regulations of the VDA, AIAG and the document 10.4.038 filed in the ESP). From the start of the development, the Supplier must use adequate preventive methods of quality planning in order to guarantee the zero defects target. Preventive methods must, for example, consist of a feasibility study, design and process FMEA (analogously also the Prod- uct or Process FMEA), reverse FMEA, reliability study, verification and validation of the design and process development, etc. The supplier shall review FMEA by using Reverse FMEA (R-FMEA) tool. In order to switch from Corrective to preventive actions, the supplier shall check at shop floor level their Existing FMEA and provide necessary activities to avoid occurrence or at minimum to improve detec- tion of Non conformity.
