Common use of Production Process Clause in Contracts

Production Process. The demand of the LEIBER Group for "zero errors" must extend through all process levels. The supplier must establish the conditions necessary for this. The process capability is to be verified over the entire production period for important product and process characteristics defined in the development or planning phase. In the case of non-capable processes according to the requirements named under item 12, a 100% inspection is to be carried out for the affected product characteristic long-term. This can be omitted again in coordination with the supplier. In applications in which the use of statistical process control (SPC) cannot be implemented, a sufficient inspection (starting at 100%, reduction in consultation with the LEIBER Group) must be performed. The LEIBER Group must be allowed to view the relevant documents/data. By constantly monitoring the production processes, the applications are particularly regulated for important characteristics requiring documentation  on the product (for example, with regard to function, dimensions, weight, surface)  or process (for instance, with regard to pressure, temperature, time, voltage, torque). Verification that the process is continuously under control must be provided. If process malfunctions and quality deviations occur, the supplier must take immediate measures within one day to safeguard the production supply for the LEIBER Group. They must analyse the causes within one week, and implement the corrective measures within three weeks after discovering the deficiency and verify their effectiveness. If these deadlines are not realized by the supplier in individual cases, they must proactively coordinate target dates with the LEIBER Group. This is independent of proof of fault by the supplier. The differentiation of the defective parts must take place clearly and plausibly. Version Date Checked/approved File name Page
