DRILL DEEP AND WIDE: The purpose of this process is to standardize a detailed problem solving
approach for significant issues to GM through use of the Drill Deep - 5 Why analysis and the Drill
Wide - Read Across processes. The "5 Why" analysis is based on the GM SQ Model. Benefits
include long term continuous improvement, cost avoidance, organizational focus on quality
performance, and the overall elimination of business practices which keep an organization from
being successful.
READ ACROSS MATRIX : Set-up of the Read Across Matrix may vary based on the size of the
company. Small companies may utilize one coordinator with one matrix. Large companies may
utilize individual Read Across Matrixes at each duns location as well as a corporate controlled Read
Across Matrix. Standardized Work described below can be adjusted to meet your specific needs.
Regular Top-Management reviews need to be conducted within the supplier to monitor status.
PROVIDER/GM SQE INTERFACE: Once a read across document is created both GM and the
CSII provider will utilize the same common document. If a "5-Why analysis" has been completed and
approved by either the GM single point SQE or the CSII provider it does not require buy off by both
parties. If a supplier location enters CSII the provider should review prr's within the 8 week window
as well as any "open" prr's for verification that a 5-why has been completed for each prr.

SYMBOL AND STATUS KEY
The symbols and color coding are utilized to record corrective
action and verification at the suppliers various manufacturing sites
for specific issues. It is critical that those individuals responsible
Symbols / color coding for communicating and verifying corrective actions do so in a
robust fashion. A particular cell may be dual coded (i.e. O/R :
original location and a repeat issue. X/R: repeat issue at a
different location)
Identify the original product line and manufacturing location that
Symbol "O" caused the PRR or is responsible for closing the issue identified
(I.e. warranty etc.) with this symbol
Identify other product lines and/or locations with similar processes
which could have the same failure mode. The owner of the
Symbol "X" document must insure that a thorough review is completed for
potential read across to other manufacturing sites. Systemic
failures generally would impact all sites listed.
Identify a repeat issue for a PRR or quality concern on similar
products with this symbol. Any issue which repeats after the
Symbol "R" "breakpoint" has been established within your read across must
be reviewed with top level management. A "5 Why" will be
required for this type of occurrence.
Record "not applicable " for that specific document or line item
Symbol "N/A number. If a prr issue does not pertain to the duns numbers listed
along the top of you matrix do not enter N/A (leave the cell blank)
