Released NOTE!
Purpose:
The purposes of this procedure are to:

(potential and actual) with modular suppliers.
- provide minimum requirements for managing exceptions outlined in this document,
including tracking, root-causing, and coordinating the proper resources to solve chronic
issues.
* NOTE: More frequent exception monitoring may be required, depending on the
individual incident and/or Management discretion.
System(s) Used:
1) Assembly Broadcast
2) PCO PPSR.xlsx template
3) eCIMS CLS/CLD or Manual eCIMS
4) Microsoft Excel
5) Forever Requirement:
6) Monthly Scorecard
Inputs / Outputs of Process:

Additional Frequency information (if applicable):
As needed or requested

SPD Sequenced Parts Delivery; represents strictly a delivery method, regardless of
payment.
JPH
Jobs Per Hour (what an hourly production rate is defined as).
PPSR Practical Problem-Solving Report (which is PCO's Root Cause Analysis Corrective
Action database).
eCIMS Electronic Corporate Issue Management System (which is the Corporate standard
on-line 8-Step Corrective Action database).
PAB Pay As Built; the supplier is paid for the part/module at the time of production
installation.
EOP Extension Of Plant; an offsite facility acting on the plant's behalf (i.e. uses the plant
systems to receive, ship, etc.).
Module Supplier: In this procedure, Module Supplier represents all Module Tier I's, Tier I
SPD's, and 3rd Party SPD suppliers.
Ship Bank: This is the quantity of material between the customer plant's installation point and
when it has been loaded on a trailer by the module supplier with a manifest processed (
R/Y/G levels must be approved by assembly plant).
Description / Activity:
Scope:
This procedure applies to all Assembly plants which have Module Suppliers as defined
above.
Responsibilities:
1. It is the responsibility of the Module Materials Manager to:
A. Instruct each modular supplier (for their assigned plant) on the policies &
communication protocol outlined in this procedure and to obtain evidence of buy-in.
B. Verify appropriate tip levels for Red (R), Yellow (Y) [vs. Green (G)] ship bank
color statuses for each module supplier, as they may differ based on unique facility / delivery
/ etc. constraints.
C. Establish appropriate communication protocol / escalation cadence (Process
Protocol).
D. Facilitate monthly reviews of exception data (from End of shift reports, audits,
etc.) from each module supplier with Plant PC, Module Supplier Reps, and any other
applicable representatives.
E. Facilitate weekly reviews with all other Module Managers to review audit
findings, chronic supplier issues and issue appropriate read across.
F. Analyze monthly exception data for chronic issues and assign PPSR or
Manual eCIMS to root cause.
G. Assemble the appropriate departmental representatives within PC, SDRM ,
P&S and Manufacturing based on chronic failures to implement appropriate solutions /

corrective actions and read across to all other plant / module relationships.
H. Take leadership role in developing standardized processes to be implemented
within plant and modular supplier locations, including a long-term systemic communication
approach for exceptions throughout all Tiered suppliers to module suppliers to plants and to
P&S.
I. Assist APST with launches of new SPD, PAB, or Module Suppliers for facilities
inclusive of conducting supplier process analysis to ensure process robustness.
J. Conduct Supplier Audits every 6 months and report findings to appropriate
parties; follow-up and close all items on PDCA's. (Supplier Audit Results are published to
Purchasing, MLM team, SDRM and SQ)
2. It is the responsibility of the Modular / 3rd Party Suppliers to:
A. Adhere to the communication direction provided by the plant's Module
Manager at all times, even when that communication direction may change due to change(s)
in circumstance.
B. Establish appropriate procedure for communication protocol / escalation
cadence (Process Protocol & Proactive Notification). Proactive Notification criteria includes:
Supplier issues, machine issues, Labor issues, new commodities at site, new location, etc. (If
there is a question for the need of the P.N. form contact your Modular Manager.)
C. Immediate contact to all Production Control Management (PC Manager, PTC,
Material Manager, Modular Manager, Logistics, etc.) if encounter any catastrophic line
disruptions, imminent threats to production (at Modular Supplier), or changes to Supplier
Forever Requirements (system link below); immediate phone call to plant MUST be followed
with Proactive Notification (system link below) or Process Protocol email (whichever applies).
D. Always include the Plant Modular Manager as a Team Member on any
Forever Requirement Notification.
E. Attend monthly reviews of exception data (from End of shift reports, audits,
etc.) with Modular Manager, Plant PC, Module Supplier Reps, and any other applicable
representatives.
F. Support Audits and any PDCA's created from audit; to ensure they are closed
in timely manner.
G. Answer Manual eCIMS issued by Modular Managers to ensure corrective
actions are submitted according to requirements and validated.
H. The Module Supplier is responsible for tracking all delivery exceptions via
monthly scorecard: this should include missed windows, miss-sequenced parts, CLS/CLD
issued, etc.. (see attachment for details)
Monitoring/ "Exception" Control:
Each module / 3rd party supplier and their customer Assembly plant must agree on tip levels:
1. One quantity identified as the amount that will trigger going from a green status to a
yellow status, signifying the module supplier may need special means to deliver the parts on
time (such as an expedite).
2. One quantity identified as the amount that will trigger going from a yellow status to a red
status, signifying on-time delivery is in jeopardy. NOTE: Red tip levels must be identified to
provide enough reaction time to still be able to protect from downtime.
Each module / 3rd party supplier is to provide all requested information, as directed by the
Module Materials Manager currently in email or page format:

Required Format:

If printed, this is an uncontrolled document. Reference most current version on-line.
Subject line of email should be in this format:
Hourly
Customer Plant, Supplier, Ship Bank Color,
NOTE: If multiple modules/ parts are supplied by the same supplier to the same customer facility, the
subject line must include the most severe status (i.e. if 5 parts have a green shipped bank status and
one part has a yellow shipped bank status, the email subject line must read Yellow).
Body of email should have this information for each supplied module/part:
* R or Y Bank Reason Codes / Descriptions =
010 - Manpower
020 - Internal Supply System Interruption
030 - Broadcast
040 - Facilities
050 - Production Equipment
060 - Carrier/Transportation Issue
070 - Internal Part Shortage
080 - PIV Equipment
090 - Safety Issue/ Incident
100 - Product Quality
110 - Short-shifting
NOTE: If multiple modules/ parts are supplied by the same supplier to the same customer
facility, the subject line must include the most severe status (i.e. if 5 parts have a green
shipped bank status and one part has a yellow shipped bank status, the email subject line
must read Yellow).
A "1", "2" or "3" will be added to the bank reason code to distinguish further responsibility:
1 = (Module) Supplier responsibility
2 = Carrier responsibility
3 = (Chrysler) Plant responsibility

For example, a module supplier may provide a reason code of 060, but technically the issue may be
the fault of the assembly plant not unloading the trailer in time for return. So this reason code would
then be recorded as 0603.
Monthly Scorecard Requirement:
The Module Supplier is responsible for tracking all exceptions via monthly scorecard as
outlined above, posted in a centralized area, and submitting monthly summaries to the
Module Materials Manager for evaluation. See Related Documents Section for standard
template.
Modular Manager Reporting:
On a monthly basis, the Module Materials Manager evaluates the exception data for trends
and holds a "council" meeting with the module suppliers, plant PC, and any other appropriate
personnel required to investigate the issue(s) and develop appropriate solution(s).
 The Module Materials Manager have a centralized "data" storage:

PPSR Template (Attached in "Related Documents" Section).
On a quarterly basis, all Module Materials Managers hold a "workshop" to review all
consolidated trends and appropriately assign read-across resulting from the monthly
"council" meetings.
There should be similar graphs representing consolidated information (that are used at the
plant level) across all plants which summarize all YTD incidents across all plants affected by
modular suppliers. All graphs depicted in this governing procedure were snapshots of the
actual ones produced by Modular Manager Group.
