Launch Safe Launch definition
Launch Safe Launch means a containment initiative to ensure a supply of defect free parts to WABCO during SOP (Start of Production) and ramp-up phase. The Safe Launch containment activity commences automatically with the beginning of the first delivery of each respective Product. Supplier must identify additional inspection, testing, and dimensional checks required in the containment area based on Key Product Characteristics, Customer Interface, high risk priority number (‘’RPN’’) as may be provided by WABCO, e.g. on the drawing, in the FMEA (failure modes and effects analysis) or during PPAP (production part approval Process), or issues identified during product and process development. Safe Launch ends three months following SOP or after delivery of a prior agreed volume of parts in both cases provided that the parts are defect free.
