PURPOSE :

The purpose of Early production Containment GP-12 is to document the s efforts to gain control of its processes during start up and acceleration, so that any quality issues that may arise are quickly identified and corrected at the s location and not at the GM customers manufacturing location. GP-12 requires a Pre-Launch Control Plan, a significant enhancement to the s production control plan, which will raise the confidence level to ensure that all products shipped initially will meet GMs expectation. The Pre Launch Control Plan will also serve to validate the production control plan. The Pre Launch Control Plan should take into consideration all known critical conditions of the part, as well as potential areas of concern identified during the Production Part Approval Process. GP-12 serves to proceduralize the Pre Launch Control Plan refered to in section 3.7 of the Chrysler, Ford, GM Advance Product Quality Planning and Control Plan Reference Manual. This procedure does not provide authorization to ship nor is it a shipping schedule. This procedure applies to who is required to use the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). It is to be used for all pre-production and production requirements that require the Production Part Approval Process. GP-12 should not be used for carry over quality concerns; they should be addressed using the Controlled Shipping Procedure. General Manager (Operations) A) Establish a containment process that contains the following elements :1. Identification of the person responsible for the containment process. 2. Development of a Pre Launch Control Plan consisting of additional controls, inspection audits and testing to identify non conformances during the production process. Depending on the dominant factor in the production process (set up, machinery, fixture, tooling, operator, material/ components, preventive maintenance, climate ) additional controls could include : - Increased frequency/ sample size of receiving, process and or shipping inspection - Mandated sub supplier containment and or sub supplier support/ audits - Addition of inspection/ control items - Increased verification of label accuracy

- Enhancement of process controls, such as error proofing - Error proofing validation through introduction of known defects - Increased involvement and visibility of top management 3. Prompt implementation of containment/ correction when non conformances are discovered 4. Identification of the measurement equipment and data collection devices/ activities to be used, where applicable. B) Document the Pre Launch Control Plan, including functional testing and error proofing, using the Control Plan format referenced in the Advance Product Quality Planning and Control Plan Reference Manual. The development and documentation of the Pre Launch Control Plan are expected to occur during the Advance Quality Planning Process. The Pre Launch Control Plan is not a substitute for the Production Control Plan, but is over and above the Production Control Plan and is used to validate it. C) Utilise the Early Production Containment Plan for all pre-production requirements and for the production ship quantity or duration specified by the procuring division or until the production control plan is validated, whichever occurs later. Typically, the specified production quantity or duration is intended to reflect the customers acceleration plan to full production rate. If not specified by procuring division, the production ship quantity is a minimum of 1200 pieces for each G.M. customer plant, in addition to any pre-production quantities required. D) To indicate compliance with the GP-12 requirements, attach to each shipping label a green dot signed by the designated senior management representative, typically the highest level manager at the production facility. (The green dot should have a diameter of 1.25 to 2 inches). EXIT CRITERIA : will be eligible to exit Early Production Containment on its own accord after meeting the criterion listed below. If is unable to meet the exit criteria, or the s GP-12 plan continues to identify non conformances, is expected to continue the necessary containment measures to insulate the Customer Plant up to the time when the quality concerns have been resolved to the satisfaction of both the and the Customer and the s Production Control Plan is validated.

A) Ship the number of pieces or for the duration specified by the procuring division with no discrepancies or customer plant Problem Reporting and Resolutions (PR/R), and can self exit from the Early Production Containment Process. B) If does not meet self exit criteria, then , to exit GP-12, all PR/Rs must be closed by the customer plant. C) In the event the self exit criteria has been met, but the GP-12 plan continues to identify non conformances, GP-12 plan must be kept in place until process controls and capabilities have proven effective and the Production Control Plan is validated.
