Common use of Development and Planning Clause in Contracts

Development and Planning. If the contract includes development duties for the supplier, the requirements specification is to be defined in writing with the contracting party for example in the form of a specification. The supplier is already obli- gated in the planning-phase that the products, processes, and other cross functional duties are applied to the project management and to automatically provide the project schedule to Tratter Engineering. To ensure a constant support in the development phase, the relevant technical documents such as specifi- cations, drawings, item lists and CAD-data, are to be checked immediately upon receipt from the suppliers with respect to completeness and consistency in general and for designated application; Tratter Engineering must be informed immediately should there be recognized any scarcities. The contracting parties must apply a suitable preventative method during the development phase, to en- sure the necessary quality in planning such as a feasibility study, a calculus of reliability, FMEA etc. Past experiences (process flows, process data, capability studies etc.) of similar schemes must be considered. Features with special demands for documentation and archiving are to be defined. Production and inspection conditions for prototypes and pre-series are to be matched and documented between the customer and the supplier. The goal is to produce under near-series conditions. For all functionally relevant features (see Additional Agreement - Special Features), the supplier must per- form analyses of the suitability of the production equipment in use and document it. If the determined capability characteristics are not achieved, the supplier must either optimize his parameters appropriately or else execute an appropriate test for the produced products to eliminate bad deliveries. Before the start of the series production, the supplier must execute the process release and the product release according to VDA-Font 2. The mode of the initial sample test report (initial sample test report VDA) is applied to the Additional Agreement. If the customer demands a construction release this must be preceded by the production process and the product release. In the production process and production release, it is the machine capability index and / or the process capability index for agreed features that are to be reported. If there are any process disruptions or quality deviations, the causes must be analysed. Measures for im- provement must be initiated and the effectiveness must be checked. There must be obtained in advance, a special release from Tratter Engineering, who must also be informed immediately should there be any belated deviations. The complaint processing is carried out with the 8D – Technology (8D – Report). The supplier obligates to ensure the traceability of the products delivered by him. In case of a detected mistake there has to be traceability so that a containment of the amount of faulty parts/products can be executed. The supplier ensures that the products are delivered using a suitable means of transport as approved from Tratter Engineering, thus ensuring against any damage and quality impairments (example: pollution, ▇▇▇- ▇▇▇▇▇ reactions). Agreement is to be made to the compliance of the requirement by Tratter Engineering regarding the label- ling of products and packaging, namely that the labelling of the packed products remains the same during the transportation and the storage of said items. Deviations from existing labelling duties require a written agreement between the supplier and Tratter Engineering.
