Page 1 of 4

1. Purpose : To Define a procedure for control the initial flow of the parts during LVPT

2. Scope : All activities performed during LVPT ,Initial Supplies after sample approval (up to some duration
/lots/quantities.
3. Responsibility : Primary : QA-HEAD
Secondary : Production Head ,Stores Head ,Dispatch Head

Definition: First production part (FPP) lot,

A lot of such parts which are manufactured for the very first time after sample approval using actual
mass production process and condition, or which are produced for the first time just after the
implementation of one or more of the following changes :
1) Process Parameter change(e.g feed/angle/press/temp etc.). 2) Tool /Die /Machine/ Equipment
Changes 3) Layout change 4) Relocated plan :5) Supplier Change 6) Operator change 7) Starting
4 manufacturing after long Lay off (i.e 6 months ) 8) ECN Changes
Definition
Initial Product (I/P) : The first piece/part or lot samples from the first lot product during production.
Trial mass production trial SOP of a new part or change point i.e process change supplier change
operator change etc.
