Design verification testing must be efficiently accomplished earlier than elements are submitted for S0 Build. PPSR’s are required for all non-PPAP authorised elements.

S1 VEHICLES: S1 VEHICLES: are automobiles constructed to substantiate manufacturing design intent, validate elements, and show out automobile and meeting processes (on the meeting crops when possible). All elements used are required to have full PSO and PPAP Approval. S1 automobiles present early detection, identification and decision of manufacturing course of points previous to S2 automobile construct. Production Control Systems are used to order, monitor and provide elements. Production intent containers/racks must be examined utilizing S1 stage elements. Grained and new coloration mastered supplies are required and must be accompanied by an element inspection report for every Supplier cargo.

S2 VEHICLES: sellable automobiles constructed by manufacturing on the meeting crops to confirm Corporate and Supplier manufacturing tooling, tools and processes, and to substantiate profitable decision of any CN’s written to appropriate issues discovered within the S0/S1 Build or testing.
