Version November 2017 8

Supplier Manual

1.4.6 Initial Sample Inspection Report (ISIR)

Sampling of new or changed products and processes should provide evidence that quality requirements in
drawings and specifications agreed by the contracting parties have been fulfilled.

Sampling includes the entire process, from definition of technical and commercial constraints between the
contracting parties through to initial sample inspection as a prerequisite for the release of serial delivery.

Initial samples are products that were manufactured entirely with the production equipment and under production
conditions, i.e. initial samples are representative of serial production of the design release in question.

The ISIR consists of a cover sheet and the inspection result data sheets agreed upon by the customer and
supplier, as well as any other necessary documents.

The sampling results must be clearly documented for each individual sample in the ISIR. Samples from multiple
cavity tooling must be clearly identified to allow them to be assigned to the appropriate individual measurements.

Sampling is triggered by the Bosch Thermotechniek B.V. Purchasing department. The supplier is provided with
the ISIR form sheets and the part’s documents when the order is placed. The samples and sampling
documentation received will be evaluated by the department responsible at Bosch Thermotechniek B.V. If
samples deviate from the specifications, the responsible department determines (together with engineering
departments) whether and how the parts can be used.

1.5 Change Management

1.5.1 Product changes initiated by Bosch Thermotechniek B.V.
If Bosch Thermotechniek B.V. decides to change an item or items the supplier receives an email with the
specification(s), a form with the head text “IMPORTANT" and a paper with the information of the changes per item
number. The form with the text “IMPORTANT” contains the revision number, ECR number, item number and
descriptions of the new item(s). The supplier must stick the form on the pallet/box of the first delivery of the (new)
items.

1.5.2 Product changes initiated by the supplier

A change in product must always be sent to commercial purchasing, including:
1. change description
2. reason for the change
3. expectations regarding quality and pricing
4. comparison of quality performance between old and new products

1.5.3 Change of production location

Engineering changes of (supplier) production location must always be notified. To avoid variations in the quality
level in the product due to this change in location, Bosch Thermotechniek B.V. will decide what needs to be done
to release the new process. New samples normally have to be checked to release the change. In some cases it
may be necessary to conduct a process audit to check if the level of quality assurance in the process is
acceptable.

2 Quality Management
Because production at Bosch Thermotechniek B.V. uses the lean production method, very limited incoming
inspections are conducted on products supplied. Due to this working method, non-conformant products can
disrupt the production process substantially. Bosch Thermotechniek B.V. therefore focuses on preventive quality
methods as much as possible. The preventive and corrective methods used by Bosch Thermotechniek B.V. will
be described in more detail in this section.

2.1 Preventive methods

2.1.1 Quality Assurance New Parts (QA-N)

A QA-N is performed to pay extra attention to critical

specifications in a drawing or Material Order Specification (MOS)
of a part. To decide which parts in a new project need a QA-N,
all parts are checked to determine how critical they are.

In the QA-N, the severity of the critical specification is defined by

Bosch Thermotechniek B.V. The supplier should complete the
form by filling in the rest. The QA-N shows us how the supplier
ensures that the critical specifications are met.

The supplier has to manufacture the parts according to the

drawing and if applicable to a Material Order Specification
(MOS). Because deviations in some properties/dimensions mean
immediate problems for Bosch Thermotechnology
production/quality, the supplier needs to have a process to verify
these properties/dimensions, to make sure that no critical failures
are delivered. This becomes a structured quality verification
process and the results need to be made available to Bosch
Thermotechnology.
F

Figure 5: General process

This will lead to better process control and ultimately to fewer production failures at the supplier, and a constant
quality of delivered parts for Bosch Thermotechnology.

Version November 2017 10

Supplier Manual

2.1.2 Lean Plant Assessment (LPA)

To get a first overall impression of a new supplier or a new plant, an LPA can be carried out. Six aspects are
checked in an LPA: Logistics, Quality Management, Corporate Management, Production,
Technology/Development and Cost/Prices.

2.1.3 Process audits

All Bosch Thermotechnology suppliers need to have at least ISO:9001 certification to ensure a minimum quality
level. On top of that our new and critical suppliers will be audited according to VDA6.3, a German quality standard
that is used in the automotive industry. During the audit, a questionnaire is used to check the quality assurance
level of the following subjects (if applicable): Product development, Process development, Suppliers / Input
material, Production and Customer satisfaction, Service & health, safety and environment.

Non-conformities found during the audit need to be covered by corrective actions by the supplier. A corrective
action plan must be made within one month of the audit. Depending on the score in the audit, the corrective
actions will be checked in a follow-up visit within a reasonable timeframe.

Version November 2017 11

Supplier Manual

2.2 Corrective methods

2.2.1 Line rejects
Because very limited incoming inspection is conducted, line rejects may be found during the assembly process at
Bosch Thermotechniek B.V. Line rejects will cause a disruption in the assembly process and should therefore be
avoided as much as possible. When a line reject occurs, this will be handled by the quality department. The
quality department will handle the line reject to:
1. keep the quality of the boilers produced at a high level
2. avoid disruptions in the assembly process

The supplier will be involved to achieve this. In practice this means that the supplier needs to exchange defective
and blocked parts as soon as possible for good parts. When line rejects lead to stagnation in the production or a
rework action, the supplier will be held responsible for this and will be charged for all costs that were incurred.

2.2.2 Field rejects

The field rejects from Bosch Thermotechniek B.V. will be handled by Bosch Thermotechniek field reject centre at
the plant in Deventer. All field rejects will be booked in a system. Products that are within the guarantee period, as
agreed in the Corporate Agreement, will then be handled in the process. When there is a failure in the product, it
will be shipped to the supplier for further analysis.

The field rejects will be shipped to the supplier on a regular basis. Bosch Thermotechniek B.V. expects that the
supplier will analyse the parts and give feedback.

2.2.3 8D reports
When a field or line reject is critical, an 8D report is requested to check that there is sufficient follow-up of the
failure. The 8D report can only be closed when the supplier shows sufficient measures have been taken to
resolve the failure and to prevent the failure from happening again in the future.

3 Logistics
3.1 Service level agreement
If a service level agreement (SLA) is in place between Bosch Thermotechniek and the supplier, the below
information is not valid unless explicitly referred to in the SLA. Details regarding process, lead time, etc., per
article, are agreed upon and captured in the SLA.

3.2 Planning and procurement

3.2.1 Material planning and supplier interface
Procurement of material is done through scheduling agreements created by the purchasing department. Per
supplier, one scheduling agreement is created. In the scheduling agreement detailed information like price,
production and material release period for each article that is supplied by the supplier, are fixed.

The following periods for production and material release periods are standard:
Production release: 4 weeks
Material release: Production release period +4 weeks

Exceptions from above standards can only be agreed upon with the purchasing department and need to be
recorded in an SLA.

3.2.1.1Procurement Planning
Based on the production planning, the ERP system creates demand on component level. This demand is
transferred to the supplier in the following standard formats and frequency:

1. On a weekly basis, a rolling 13 weeks delivery schedule. The schedule contains fixed lines (the
deliveries within the agreed lead time) and forecast lines (the short term forecast).
2. On a monthly basis, a rolling 12 months forecast is send to the supplier.

Schedules and long term forecast are send on Monday. The dates on the delivery dates are to be considered as:
a. date of receipt in case of DAP
b. date of pick up in case of FCA

3.2.1.2Transmitting of information
Within DevP, there are three standard formats and methods of transmitting delivery schedule and forecast:

-EDI/ASN
-A text file and PDF by e-mail

Preferred standard is EDI and the aim is to implement this with all suppliers.

3.2.2 Performance measurement

On a yearly basis, the logistics department will assess the supplier’s logistics performance based on a BOSCH TT
standard vendor rating survey. This survey will be shared with the Purchasing department and discussed with the
supplier in the yearly negotiations.

Additional tot this, the following logistics KPI’s are used as an input to assess the suppliers logistics performance:
-Delivery performance measurement (OTD, par. 3.2.2.1)
-Logistics quality indicator (LOG PLKZ, par. 3.2.2.2)

3.2.2.1Delivery performance measurement

Every delivery will be judged on its timeliness, On Time Delivery (OTD):
-deliveries on the requested days, one day before or one day after the requested date, are scored 100%.
-deliveries more than one day before or after the requested date are scored 0%.

The supplier will be informed on his score minimum once per year.

Version November 2017 13

Supplier Manual

3.2.2.2Logistics quality indicator

Each logistical deviation on delivery will be recorded in the Logistics Quality indicator (LOG PLKZ). The following
categories are assessed:
-Delivery papers
-Adherence to time window (if applicable)
-Packaging
-Quantity deviations
-Other physical problems

If applicable the supplier will be informed within 24 hours after occurrence of a logistics deviation and is required
to reply within 48 hours with a solution or informing of measures taken.

If necessary, scores on the KPI’s can be a trigger to start improvement actions with suppliers.
