Daimler Trucks North America
Purpose
To define the suppliers' role in Daimler Trucks North America's
supplier quality evaluation process.
Scope
This applies to suppliers of production material, tooling, or services
to any Daimler Trucks North America Business Unit.
Procedure
� Suppliers are required to be third party registered to ISO
9001:2000 or ISO/TS 16949*
� Suppliers are evaluated through on-site assessment or supplier
self-surveys
� A self-survey becomes necessary if the supplier has not achieved
ISO 9001:2000 or ISO/TS 16949 registration
� It then would be necessary for completion of the Quality
Assurance Supplier Self-Survey:
� with a score of 75% or higher on all sections,
� a score of 6 or higher for each question,
� and agreement to achieve 3rd party registration to
ISO 9001:2000 or ISO/TS 16949 within one year
A DTNA self-survey document will be provided to the supplier if
necessary.
On-site Assessment results in classification of the supplier into one
of three categories
80-100%
� 1 = Suitable in principle as supplier to DTNA
50-79%
� 2 = Could become a suitable supplier with support
<50%
Page 1 of 2Daimler Trucks North America Supplier Online: Supplier Quality Evaluation
10/10/2008http://corpwebq03/webapps/SupplierOnline/quality_manual/sup_qm_sup_qual.asp
� 3 = Not suitable as a supplier to DTNA
* Certain suppliers may be exempt from certification requirements depending
upon the nature and/or quantity of products and services provided to DTNA.
Examples of suppliers who may be considered exempt from certification
requirements are:
� Low volume suppliers of custom components. � Suppliers of prototype parts/assemblies. � Providers of warehouse or clearinghouse services. � Suppliers of other non-manufacturing related or non-value added
services.
Exempt status is determined at the discretion of Corporate Quality Assurance or
Business Unit Quality Assurance Management.
Exempt suppliers are not exempt from performing PPAP.
If you are not ISO 9001:2000 or ISO/TS 16949 certified, your parts may be
subject to closer scrutiny.

Daimler Trucks North America
Purpose
To define the suppliers' role and responsibility in the approval
process of purchased parts and tooling for production purposes. To
determine if all customer engineering design record and
specification requirements are properly understood by the supplier
and that the process has the potential to produce product consistently meeting these requirements during an actual
production run.
Scope
This applies to suppliers of production material or tooling to any
Daimler Truck North America Business Unit.
Procedure
Production part approval is required as defined in "Production Part
Approval Process" (PPAP) published by the AIAG. All applicable
elements are to be completed and retained on file at the supplier's location. While this Procedure is intended to cover all situations
normally occurring during the submission process, questions that
arise should be directed to the appropriate production part approval
coordinator - DTNA Corporate Quality Assurance or Business Unit
Quality Assurance.
All requested PPAP document submissions are to be sent to DTNA Corporate Quality Assurance or the requesting Business Unit Quality
Assurance Department. When a sample part is requested, the above still applies and copies of the PSW, Dimensional Report, and
marked print must accompany the sample part(s) to be shipped to
the specified plant.
Corporate and Business Unit Quality Assurance review applicable
documents for new and revised parts and assemblies, as well as for
any design or process changes warranting notification or
submission as indicated in PPAP. Submission and approval
requirements are determined using individual judgment and the
risks associated with each part, as outlined in the Production Part
Approval Process flowchart. When families of parts occur, and
evidence of supplier quality planning for one part (parent) in the family of parts is deemed sufficient, the remainder of the parts in
the family will be approved with the approval of the parent part.
Page 1 of 3Daimler Trucks North America Supplier Online: Production Part Approval Process
10/10/2008http://corpwebq03/webapps/SupplierOnline/quality_manual/sup_ppap.asp
Parts received prior to PPAP approval without the required
documentation (noted above) will be rejected by DTNA Plants.
Parts such as standard fasteners, fittings, raw materials,
components of an assembly, etc., are defaulted to approved status. Also, parts below estimated annual usage of 150 such as Custom
Engineered parts are defaulted to approved status as well.
However, Suppliers must document steps taken to make certain
that parts conform to specifications.
Corporate and Business Unit Quality Assurance determine the
submissions and approvals required for purchased parts and tooling
according to the complexity of the part and Supplier's performance
history. The PPAP default level for all parts is Level 1 (excluding
Appearance Approval Report unless specifically requested).
Approval of submitted samples and/or documentation, default or requested, is required prior to supplying production volumes unless
a documented waiver is obtained by the supplier from Corporate or
Business Unit QA.
Interim approval for a limited time or piece quantity may be
granted if the supplier's root cause, action plan, and timeframe are
acceptable to the appropriate production part approval activity.
If a supplier fails to complete PPAP prior to the start of production,
they must comply with the following "Exception Conditions":
� All parts shipped to DTNA must be 100% inspected.
� All characteristics per the drawing must be inspected and conform
to specification. If parts do not conform to specification, contact
DTNA Corporate Materials prior to shipping parts.
� Identify each package or container with a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11
inch, heavy bond white paper, with at least 1 inch black lettering
that identifies the parts as conforming to the exception conditions
of DTNA Production Part Approval Process 09QA-R074.
� Records of the required inspection described above must be
maintained by the supplier and be made available to DTNA
Quality Assurance upon request.
� Parts submitted without required documentation will be rejected.
THIS PROCESS WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL
PRODUCTION PART APPROVAL PROCESS IS APPROVED.
DTNA reserves the right to review and/or audit all supplier PPAP
records.
The recommended method from suppliers is electronic submission
of the PPAP forms.
The supplier for the length of time that the part is active plus one calendar year must maintain production part approval records.
Sample submissions are to be adequately labeled and tagged by
