B Introduction

B.1 Objective
The objective of this document is to aid the selection of the best suppliers to guarantee quality
and quantity of the product during the life span of the project. In addition, it gives the supplier
and the costumer the confidence that all requirements and prerequisites of the customer are
taken into consideration.

B.2 Content of the QTR and areas for validation

It is the responsibility of the quoting supplier that the completed, written document is handed to
the Purchase department together with the quotation.

The 0 - Series shall ensure that before the start of production of a new prod-

pects of a part. The function of tools, checking fixtures and equipment is test-
ed under series production requirements. The 0 - Series contains the com-
plete production run as a trail run of the series production phase. This phase
shall only be built with parts out of series tooling.

C General

C.1 Background
The aim of the QTR is that the offer, based on the following questions, is checked for plausibil-
ity, completeness and feasibility (see formula-Q-Specifically, at www.vwgroupsupply.com).
The quoting supplier is obliged to make all necessary documents available before the nomina-
tion

C.2 Procedure
The supplier shall be notified by the purchase department to complete the QTR documentation.
This will be subject to a deadline which will be in line with the quotation. Delays in the comple-
tion of the documentation will automatically lead to escalation and in the worst case exclusion
from the procurement process.

All questions are mandatory. Questions with one asterisk (*) require a detailed answer and if
they cannot be answered appropriately, it will lead automatically to a degradation (Red). Ques-
tions with a double asterisk (**) are related to software developments. Questions which are not
applicable have to be marked accordingly with N/A.

After the submission of a completed documentation, an internal, cross functional validation and
verification will take place. After the review, the supplier may be invited to present the documen-
tation. Documents, which are not sufficient or complete, go back to the supplier for improve-
ment. Volkswagen AG holds the right to request the data for future reference, if necessary.

C.3 Results

The result, based on the information submitted will be re-presented to the supplier qualitatively
(green / red or the pass / fail). The supplier is expected to sign the result sheet. A Supplier with
“Red” or “fail” result will not be considered for nomination. The QTR results sheet will influence
the procurement process and will be part of the nomination letter.

1 Project

1.1 Project
The supplier must nominate a project leader, who will ensure a successful start of production
(plus 90 days). This person will apply the Qualification Programme of New Parts (see Formel Q
Integral “New Parts Development System”) and present it to the customer in line with the pro-
gramme.
The name, function and deputy of the project leader must be reported to the Quality department
of the leading sampling VW Group plant and to the Supplier Quality Engineer (BTV).
The supplier is responsible for showing the internal and external capacities for simulation, man-
ufacturing and development and series tests, according to the scope of the technical specifica-
tions designated by the customer. They must show this with their project planning and proof that
they can fulfil the technical requirements, volume and timing schedules.

Raw materials have to be controlled by the suppliers. Checks can only executed with own
equipment or in a Laboratory, which is certified in line with ISO 17025. The Volkswagen AG
reserves the right of counter checking parts. During the quotation phase, the quoting supplier
has to show his material suppliers (suppliers and equipment) as well as their capacities for the
project.

It is the responsibility of the supplier who supplies directly to Volkswagen to guarantee the quali-
ty of their suppliers during the development of the project, start-up and series production. Any
modification to this rule (for example, suppliers assigned or directed) must be discussed in the
quotation phase. The supplier has to determine on how to guarantee the feasibility of tooling,
equipment and software.

4.1 Development of the manufacturing process

It is the responsibility of the supplier to create a conclusive manufacturing concept, which guar-
antees and controls all part specific characteristics to be correct. If already available equipment
and strategies are used an additional point of lessons learned has to be included and present-
ed.

4.2 Traceability
The supplier is responsible for ensuring traceability, origin, their storage, tests and distribution of
the purchased raw material / components (HW/SW, charges) and each process, as well as dur-
ing each project phase. These same considerations apply to reworked components.

The changes in engineering level must be documented in line with the Formel Q Konkret pre
series documentation incl. part history. All relevant changes, the volume of parts and their per-
formance must be identifiable to the produced amount of parts.
