Purpose
The MP&L Global Q1 Requirements outlined in this document are effective 01 January 2015.
It is a set of fundamental quality and manufacturing disciplines which, when followed, ensure a supplier’s success and drive
supplier’s continuous improvement. Suppliers are expected to attain a certain mark, to put the tools in place to maintain
excellence and to improve with each passing year.
Q1 puts the discipline in place to achieve consistent excellence and guides cooperation between Ford and its suppliers fo
superior quality execution.
Any external supplier manufacturing facility which currently supplies Production or Service product to Ford is eligible for Q
consideration. Subcontractors are not eligible for Q1status.
Q1 means that the supplier facility achieves excellence in these key areas:
Capable Systems, Ongoing Performance, Site Action Plan, Customer Endorsement and Continuous Improvement.
Q1 applies a few vital metrics to determine which suppliers qualify for Q1 – the same measurements will be used to establ
who will keep Q1 status. The MP&L Endorsement is one of four possible endorsements required in order to be awarded Q1
with Ford. This document provides the criteria along with the required documentation to petition for the MP&L
Endorsement.
The MP&L Endorsement will only be issued to suppliers who can demonstrate that they have sustainability built into their
MP&L processes in alignment with the standards put forth by MMOG/LE, and that they clearly understand and can
consistently support MP&L and Supply Chain requirements for all Ford regions the organization supplies.
Suppliers are required to complete an internal MMOG/LE review to confirm "MMOG/LE" level "A" before petitioning for th
MP&L Endorsement. The MMOG/LE Assessment submitted within the Q1 Petition Package and reported in GSDB Online
must be a global assessment of the organization. All criteria should be answered based on compliance for all regions
supplied by the organization for both production and service. If the petitioning manufacturing site has one or more alterna
sites that ship product into Ford, all facilities must comply with the MMOG/LE requirements, and a joint, global MMOG/LE
Assessment is required. Resources (e.g. procedures, employees, systems) can be shared, but it must be documented and a
sites are responsible for ensuring compliance. Where automation is required, all sites must comply. All MMOG/LE criteria
must be evaluated based on the worst performing site. If the organization has other sites that ship product on its behalf, a
any of these ship sites are assessed as non-compliant for a given criterion, that criterion shall be considered non-compliant
within the manufacturing site's global MMOG/LE assessment. For example, if one site does not scan its products when
generating ASNs, per MMOG/LE criterion 4.3.2, then this criterion must be marked as non-compliant, even if all other sites
are compliant.
The global MMOG/LE Assessment should be supported by the performance reflected in the delivery ratings for all regions i
production and service. Suppliers should reassess all related MMOG/LE criteria where there are deficiencies within their
performance prior to petitioning for the Ford MP&L Endorsement.
When conducting a MMOG/LE review for sites petitioning for the Global MP&L Endorsement, each region will conduct a
desk and/or on-site assessment to confirm compliance to the requirements before the Global MP&L Endorsement will be
issued. It is important to note that when a desk review is conducted, we presume that the processes are being followed as
documented. The assessment results of a desk review could be overridden if the organization's performance and/or a futu
on-site assessment determine that the processes are not being followed as documented.
A separate MMOG/LE review may be required in order to confirm that the supplier has a clear understanding of Ford MP&
and Supply Chain requirements that may be unique to each region. When considering global compliance, the Ford Global
MP&L Endorsement cannot be issued to an organization until each region it supplies has agreed to endorse the site. The
Ford MP&L contacts for each region are posted on the Contacts page of SUPER-G website under the Ford Contacts tab.
Suppliers petitioning to MP&L for the Ford Global MP&L Endorsement Q1 petition packages must be submitted to the lead
region (the lead regions are where the manufacturing sites are located).
Suppliers or STAs MUST alert the lead region of their intent to submit a petition for the MP&L endorsement 90 - 100 days
before the Q1 target date. DO NOT submit any documents until they are requested by the lead region contact.
Suppliers MUST participate in a Q1 documents pre-screening (usually a WebEx session). This session will be scheduled by
the lead region. The Corporate Delivery Champion (CDC), the Supplier Delivery Contact (SDC), and the MP&L Manager MU
be in attendance to review the formatting and organization of the petition documents. The pre-screening shall take place
prior to submitting the Q1 petition package. DO NOT submit the Q1 Petition Package for the MP&L Endorsement until the
petitioning manufacturing site and all associated ship sites have met ALL of the eligibility criteria listed below or the
request will be DENIED. Q1 petitions will not be processed until ALL required documents have been received. Q1 support
documents along with additional reference materials are located on the Q1 Documents page of MP&L-in-a-Box. If assistan
is needed when preparing to petition, a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) are provided in the FAQs tab. If additional
assistance is needed, contact the Supplier Delivery Performance Specialist (SDPS) or MMOG/LE Analyst .
All suppliers petitioning for MP&L endorsement should contact the appropriate regional specialist as listed to schedule a pr
screening and/or get additional instructions.

» Suppliers shipping to Ford plants in multiple regions must contact only the appropriate regional specialist (the one in the
region where your manufacturing facility is physically located).
Suppliers are required to meet the following criteria prior to petitioning for the Ford MP&L Endorsement:
» The petitioning manufacturing site and all associated ship sites shall have a clear understanding of Ford's MP&L and
Supply Chain requirements as outlined in the:
» At least 1 currently active ship site must have at least 6 months of delivery ratings.
» The six month weighted average (6MWA) must be greater than or equal to 81 (as displayed in SIM and SUPER-G) and the
three most recent (two mature months and the immature) monthly delivery ratings must all be greater than or equal to 81
(as displayed in SUPER-G) for all associated ship sites. The Month-to-Date (MTD) rating will be considered if it is below the
eligibility score of 81. If a new MTD delivery rating is published after the Q1 Petition Package has been submitted, the new
delivery rating must also be greater than or equal to 81 or the site will become ineligible. Please review the SUPER-G rating
prior to submitting the Q1 Petition Package to ensure continued eligibility. It is also important to note that there is one
delivery rating published in SUPER-G per ship site. The Q1 scoring process for the delivery rating applies the SAME score to
ALL manufacturing sites that utilize a common ship point. Therefore, the delivery rating for the common ship site will impa
the Q1 status and/or eligibility for all associated manufacturing sites.
» At least one primary and one back-up employee must be formally trained to use the Ford CMMS3/(e)DDL (IMS7) System
with the capability of accessing the system daily. Regional training information is available in MP&L in a Box under the
Training page for NA and for the other regions under their page or via Web-based Training (WBT) reference course # 10429
(eDDL/DDL WBT). Suppliers can register online through the Ford Supplier Learning Institute (FSLI) at
https://web.fsli.ford.com/ via Covisint Ford Supplier Portal. Please provide a copy of the DDL/IMS7 (Classroom) or eDDL/D
(WBT) training certificate as part of the Q1 Petition Package (MMOG/LE 2.4.4).
» The Material Management Operations Guideline/Logistics Evaluation (MMOG/LE) "Full" Assessment must be completed
and the manufacturing site assessed as level "A” compliant. Action plans to attain MMOG/LE level "A" will not be accepted
as a substitute for level “A” attainment. The MMOG/LE Assessment must be updated in GSDB On-Line and current within t
global annual update period (May 1st – July 31st). Suppliers must confirm that they are using the latest MMOG/LE version
as published by AIAG (available through AIAG at www.aiag.org or Odette International at www.odette.org). Suppliers must
also have MMOG/LE objective evidence (e.g. procedures, work instuctions, all evidence supporting compliance) prepared f
all 197 criteria to validate assessment results.
Instructions
Instructions
The intent of the MMOG/LE review is to validate that suppliers have documented procedures and/or work
instructions that provide clear direction for employees to ensure proper understanding, successful implementation
and expected results for MP&L processes. Suppliers must be able to provide objective evidence for all criteria
recorded as compliant in order to verify the MMOG/LE assessment results.
As part of the Q1 Petition Package, suppliers are required to submit an entire copy of their MMOG/LE Assessment
Excel document. Within the MMOG/LE, suppliers are required to record an explanation for their assessment
response and provide direction on how to retrieve the documented evidence for ALL 197 criteria recorded as
compliant in the "Current State and Supporting Evidence" section of the "Assessment" worksheet in their
MMOG/LE Assessment. Any criteria marked as non-compliant should have an action plan noting the actions for
becoming fully compliant. Initially, suppliers will only be required to submit copies of the objective evidence for
the pre-selected criteria listed in the Checklist tab, but suppliers must be prepared to provide evidence for
additional criteria upon request. Failure to have the evidence properly documented and prepared may result in
the Q1 Petition Package being rejected and the request for MP&L Endorsement to be denied.
The MP&L Global Team will review and verify compliance for these criteria on behalf of their respective Ford
region. Suppliers are responsible for understanding customer specific requirements for each region petitioning.
Contact the SDPS or MMOG/LE Analyst in each region for additional information on requirements for petitioning.
The SDPS or MMOG/LE Analyst performing the review will be in contact with you if additional evidence is required.
Print screens and examples can be used as attachments for additional supporting documentation, but documented
procedures and/or work instructions must be submitted as the main objective evidence. Suppliers are not
required to develop a separate set of standard operating procedures specifically for MMOG/LE, but are
encouraged to incorporate the requirements outlined in MMOG/LE into their existing ISO/TS quality management
system.
TRANSLATION REQUIREMENTS:
Translation into English is required for high level procedures pertaining to all required MMOG/LE criteria reviewed
in the petition. Additional supporting evidence (i.e. graphs, charts, screen prints, etc.) require some translation in
the form of captions and/or subtitles in English.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The list and descriptions of the MMOG/LE criteria outlined in this document are excerpts
from the corresponding criterion. It is the supplier's responsibility to review the MMOG/LE Assessment document
in its entirety and ensure that the objective evidence provided specifically addresses every question recorded as
compliant for each criterion.
1. Open the sheet "Checklist" and compile required documentation as noted in the Instructions for Electronic
Submission.
2. After compiling all the required documentation, open the sheet "Checklist" enter your Parent code (4-digit GSDB
code) and Supplier code (5-digit GSDB code). Then use the dropdown menu to select "Y" for Yes that the
documentation is included in the petition or "N" for No that the documentation is not included in the petition. In
column "I", include a list of the supporting documentation (this should be the same as annotated in the
MMOG/LE) or an explanation for any No responses. Contact the SDPS with questions concerning documentation
requirement for specific region(s). Do not enter any information in the section marked "For Ford Use Only".
3. The lead region that the supplier is petitioning to will review the checklist and the documentation submitted.
When the review is completed, the checklist will be returned to the supplier. If any further action is required, the
"Overall Status" field will show one of these color codes GYR.
4. If the petition is returned to the supplier as denied. Please ensure that the original Checklist accompanies any
future submissions. DO NOT submit a new Checklist unless requested by the reviewer. The reviewer will add each
review's comments on the same Checklist.
Please include a brief description following each question in the section labeled "Evidence Required".
1. If the question response is "Green", no additional information required.
2. If the question response is "Yellow", submit documentation to close gap in process. Review assessment report.
3. If the question response is "Red", submit missing documentation or documentation that supports compliance.
Review assessment report. 4. For
every question with status "Y" or "R", additional supporting documentation will be required as outlined in the
Checklist Notes section.

What is Objective Evidence?
What is Objective Evidence?
aThe term “documented procedure” means that the procedure is established, documented, implement
and maintained by the organization. (ISO/TS 16949)
What is the Purpose of a WI?
• Ensure sustainability of processes through:
• Training personnel (e.g., new hires, relief coverage, backups)
• Daily desk procedures
• Job aids
• Outlining contingency plans
• Basis of operational performance metrics against targets
• Used as tool to measure performance against objectives
Please note that MP&L-in-a-Box is the central repository of information for Ford production suppliers. This website provides access
Ford's manuals, documents, and websites needed to understand and meet production requirements. Use of these documents by
suppliers will assist Ford in the promotion of fundamental materials management systems that provide for outstanding delivery
performance, exceptional customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement. Suppliers should visit MP&L-in-a-Box regularly to en
they are keeping updated on the Ford’s MP&L requirements (MMOG/LE 4.1.1).
3) Purchasing has agreed that my organization does not have to be MMOG/LE compliant. Will MP&L
still endorse my organization?
ANSWER – No. MMOG/LE level "A" is a requirement for all Q1 suppliers. Suppliers that are not
MMOG/LE level "A" cannot be endorsed by MP&L. These suppliers should submit a request to their
Ford Buyer to be waived from meeting Q1 requirements.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If your organization is waived for Q1, it is important to note that your organization
will still be required to meet the Ford MP&L and delivery rating requirements. Failure to meet our
performance requirement could result in MP&L submitting a request to have the Q1 waiver rescinded.
4) When petitioning for the MP&L Q1 Endorsement, if the ship site has already attained Q1 status,
does the MMOG/LE supporting evidence pertaining to the ship site still have to be submitted to
confirm compliance?
ANSWER – Yes. Ford requires that the MMOG/LE package must be submitted as one joint, global
assessment, which includes the manufacturing site and all associated ship site(s). Resources (e.g.
procedures, employees, systems) can be shared, but it must be documented and all sites are
responsible for ensuring compliance. Where automation is required, all sites must comply. Each
criterion should be answered based on the worst performing site. For example, if one ship site scans to
create the ASN (criterion 4.3.2), but a second ship site does not, then the criterion should be marked as
non-compliant.
5) My organization has a timeline in place to become MMOG/LE compliant but it extends beyond
our Q1 target date. Will MP&L endorse our site as long as we remain committed to the timeline?
ANSWER – No. Suppliers must be fully compliant to MMOG/LE before SMPG will issue an
endorsement. SMPG cannot accurately assess an organization until all the required processes have
been put in place. Once SMPG issues the MP&L Endorsement, they have signaled to all of Ford that
your organization has already met all of the Q1 standards for MP&L.
6) Another one of our customers have already signed off on our MMOG/LE assessment, does Ford
still need to assess our site?
ANSWER – Yes. Please note that many MMOG/LE criteria indicate that you must comply with
customer specific requirements. While your organization could meet the standards of one customer
you may still be non-compliant to another customer's requirements. It is important that you seek out
and understand the requirements of each individual customer in order to ensure that you are truly
compliant to all MMOG/LE criteria.
7) My organization ships to multiple regions (e.g. Europe/Turkey, Asia, and South America); do I
have to complete a separate MMOG/LE Assessment for each region?
ANSWER – No. MMOG/LE is a global assessment and should take into consider all regions your
organization suppliers for both Production and Service.
8) A MP&L Representative in another region (e.g. Europe/Turkey, Asia, and South America) already
signed off on our MMOG/LE assessment; do other regions I ship to still need to assess our site?
ANSWER – Yes. The intent of the MMOG/LE review is to validate that suppliers have documented
processes that ensures they clearly understand and can consistently support Ford's global MP&L and
delivery requirements. The MP&L Representatives in one region is not necessarily knowledgeable
enough on the requirements for all Ford regions in order to properly assess whether a supplier is
compliant with our processes. Therefore, suppliers must submit their MMOG/LE to all regions for audit
purposes.
9) I already have an old version of MMOG/LE. Can I use it to petition for the MP&L Endorsement?
ANSWER – No. Effective 1/1/2015, all suppliers petitioning for the global MP&L Endorsement must do
so using MMOG/LE version 4, published 5/2014. A copy of the MMOG/LE Assessment can be
purchased through AIAG at www.aiag.org or Odette at www.odette.org.
10) English is not my organization's native language; can I submit my MMOG/LE Assessment in our
native language?
ANSWER – No. Please note that suppliers shipping to plants rated by Ford North America are expected
to be able to communicate in English. Ford does not have translators on staff in the MP&L organization.
Consequently, documents submitted in any other language cannot be reviewed. In order to complete a
thorough and effective review, we must be able to interpret the documentation. AIAG provides an
English version of MMOG/LE with all other translations.
12) My site is trying to petition for the Ford MP&L Endorsement, but the ship site has poor rating
unrelated to my organization. Can you please overlook the rating so that my site can be endorsed?
ANSWER – No. The Q1 scoring process for the delivery rating applies the SAME score to ALL
manufacturing sites that utilize a common ship point. Therefore, the delivery rating for the common
ship site will impact the Q1 status and/or eligibility for all associated manufacturing sites. This is one
example where Ford encourages its suppliers to utilize their Corporate Delivery Champions to leverage
support to engage poor performing manufacturing sites.
13) When petitioning for the MP&L Q1 Endorsement, do I have to submit the MMOG/LE evidence
book?
ANSWER – Yes/No. When the Q1 petition package is initially submitted, Ford only requires a selection
of objective evidence be submitted. This evidence should be submitted electronically. Instructions are
outlined in https://comm.extsp.ford.com/sites/MPLB2B/Documents/Q1%20Requirements%20for
%20MPL%20Endorsement.pdf. However, when completing the assessment, suppliers are required to
prepare objective evidence to support all criteria.
NOTE: Suppliers are no longer required to maintain a physical evidence book. They are however
required have to have their MMOG/LE objective evidence organized and readily accessible upon
request.
14) A lot of the questions listed in the Global MMOG/LE documents are addressed in ISO/TS 16949.
Can the ISO/TS 16949 documents be used for MMOG/LE?
ANSWER – Yes. The MMOG/LE document was designed to complement the ISO/TS 16949 process.
Suppliers are encouraged to assess their ISO/TS 16949 documents to confirm MMOG/LE compliance,
and the delivery requirements are integrated into the ISO/TS documentation.
16) Are suppliers required to utilize the Global MMOG/LE document to assess their sub-suppliers?
ANSWER – No. While the Global MMOG/LE v4 document would certainly be recommended, it is at the
suppliers’ discretion to choose MMOG/LE or an equivalent process to assess their sub-suppliers.
17) Based on MMOG/LE 4.3.2.1, what is the proper way to create a master label for my shipping ASN
process? Am I supposed to scan every container to do so?
ANSWER – A master label needs to be reconciled with its associated boxes, containers, etc. Based on
software programs, some companies scan all containers in order to create the master label. Others
create the master label first, which is then associated to a specific number of containers and reconciled
via serial numbers for control. It is not acceptable to scan the master label only if there is no
verification of the individual containers associated with the master label.
18) For ASN generation/verification, must I scan the bar-code labels as material is loaded onto the
conveyance versus a "staging" area?
ANSWER – The scanning of the label must take place at the last possible point in the shipment process.
Some companies use tags that contain tear-off "stubs" that are pulled off as the containers are loaded
and then scanned for verification purposes.
19) MMOG/LE 6.3.2.2 used to indicate that a timeline can be in place according to customer
requirements. What is an acceptable timeline for Ford?
ANSWER – Effective 12/31/2007, actions plans are no longer be accepted by Ford. Ford production
suppliers who have not fully implemented traditional or web-based EDI with 100% of all Ford sub-
suppliers will be considered non-compliant in this criterion. If you believe this criterion is not applicable
to one or more sub-suppliers, you must consult your SDPS, before marking this criterion as compliant.
20) MMOG/LE 6.3.2.3 requires the integration of shipment notification into receiving system without
manual intervention. Is this now expected by Ford and the other OEM's?
ANSWER – Yes. An action plan is no longer acceptable. Suppliers should ensure that they understand
the customer requirements for their OEMs (firm timing will be addressed in subsequent revisions of
MMOG/LE as well as addressed internally by the OEM's with their suppliers).
21) MMOG/LE 3.4.1 requires the integration of customer requirements from the weekly 830
(planning) and daily 862 (ship requirements) into the organization's (includes ship point AND
manufacturing location if different from ship point) releasing system by electronic means.
ANSWER – It is expected that the customer requirements are:
a) Automatically sent to the ERP/MRP system (ship point AND manufacturing location, if
different than ship point),
b) Processed directly into the facility's planning and scheduling systems without human
intervention (which could compromise the timeliness and integrity of the information), and
c) Utilized for the creation of the daily shop floor schedule and forecast manufacturing
operating plans.
