Sample definition Project management

Category Description Use Characteristic Manufacturing

Sample with one or more
Functional
functions or concepts
sample
A-sample Sample with limited functions
Sample with all functions without
guarantee
B-sample Exception SW:
vehicle SW such as diagnosis
functions very often only present
in release samples
Sample with all functions
C-sample
guaranteeing that functions are
protected in theory
Sample with all functions
D-sample guaranteeing that functions are
protected in practice
Series
Sales product
production
Test of concepts or functions to ensure the
integration into a product during any pre-
development (e.g. within the context of a
feasibility study or before a concept is passed
on to acquisition) or product development
stage (e.g. for unforeseen incidents)
Test of the concept freeze while in its critical
(still hazardous) functions
To test all functions and the technical
requirements including permanent testing
Test in the vehicle and on the test stand
Sample for design validation (DV)
Tests to achieve "Technical Release"
(laboratory tests, trial assemblies)
Sample for product validation (PV, qualification)
Sample for process validation
Pilot production with proof of the production
safety
Initial Sample Inspection Report (ISIR),
capability study like measurement tool
capability (also measurement system analysis
"MSA"), process capability, machine capability)
PPAP
Basis for homologation
Proofs of quality according to specifications
limited any
Special production (Sample construction)
Limitations of the functions with regard to
Or modification of existing products
customer and internal specifications:
e.g. operating temperature, optics, dimensions.
only final materials
Not suited for permanent testing
E.g.: Temperature sample, photometric prototype (ALU block), STL
Parts from test or auxiliary tools.
All functions are available and installation
dimensions according to the series.
Mostly from final materials E.g.: ALU-tool
Possibly not all customer specifications ensured
SW has the specified architecture
Parts from tools produced in series and manufacturing processes
As B-sample, but specifications reached for
close to production.
sure.
Manual assembly of advance ISIR (laboratory tests) allowed
Tolerance assessment, fit description,...
 theoretical safeguarding
Final materials and arrangement of the components
As C-sample
Initial sample: Parts from tools produced in series mounted and
Compliance with quality requirements inspected with standard manufacturing processes under standard
conditions
statistically guaranteed
Serial parts that are used for initial sampling, If necessary, with deviation from initial sample status as agreed with
with the objective of approval for product-series customer
delivery (PSO) internally and by customer
Standard parts, series production status
Series production
approved
