Audit instruction and Material Training

Material Requirement to Supplier (MRS) audit sheet is a common questionnaire includes 3 types of audit:
1) NSA New Supplier Assessment
Complete system assessment to evaluate potential supplier's manufacturing system.
Need to assess supplier readiness for each 'Requirement'.
Result is a risk assessment, affects to sourcing decision.

2) MPA L1&L2 Mass Production Assessment


Partial and complete manufacturing system assessment to focus and verify implementation of MRS 'Requirement' on shop floor level.
All the 'Criteria of Requirement' of questionnaire need to be assessed.
Result affects to MPA certification status and Bidlist performance.

3) PPQ Progressive Process Qualification


Product specific progressive assessment to verify that processes and controls are in place to ensure that final product is
according to requirements.
'Requirements' which are linked to product and its processes or scope of audit, need to be assessed.
Result can affect Bidlist performance. Training to training material

Requirement scoring is calculated automaticaly (see below)

Important : - For all MRS evaluation, at least 90% of the "REQUIREMENT" need to be implemented in order to have a relevant scoring (for Yellow and Green status).
- In case of scoring not relevant, a new evaluation need to be planned.

Thresholds for result calculation are defined on 2 levels:
1) Threshold on Requirement level
If a Requirement is scored by 0 overall result will go to Red.
2) Threshold on Key Element level
Green : If a Key element is scored 80% or greater with no 0 score on Requirement level.
Yellow : If a Key element is scored less than 80% with no 0 score on Requirement level.
Red : If a requirement is scored by 0.
3) Threshold on overall level (audit to be used for RFQ on non safety part)
Green : 80% or greater with No 0 score ==> Recommended
Yellow : > = 60 % or < 80% with non 0 score ==> Recommended with action plan
Red : < 60% or / and a 0 score ==> Not Recommended

4) Threshold on overall level (audit to be used for RFQ on safety part)


Green : 90% or greater with No 0 score ==> Recommended

Action plan instruction

After each MRS assessment (NSA, PPQ, MPA) :

1) An action plan need to be proposed by the supplier for each criteria "NOK".

2) The action plan need to be implemented in the specific sheet "action plan instruction" of the full report communicated by the MRS auditor :
- Action plan sheet will be created by clicking on the "Generate" button on the "header" sheet questionnaire.
- Action plans are to be addressed for each deviation (NOK) listed.
- The description of the action, responsible person, the timing and the "6 core steps" status need to be fulfilled as follows:

3) The full action plan is to be communicated to Stellantis no more than 4 weeks after the communication of the report.

4) The action plan will be evaluated and statused by Stellantis no more than 2 weeks after the communication of the full action plan. 3 status are possible :
- Accepted : in line to permit to reach or to maintain the certification / qualification level.
- Temporary acceptance : Few modifications expected by Stellantis. Level of Action plan close to the target.
- Refused : The Action plan insufficient to reach the certification / qualification level. Strong update needed

5) The real implementation of the action plan will be checked by Stellantis during next on-site MRS review :
- NSA action plan will be evaluated before or during the PPQ audits (input).
- PPQ action plan will be evaluated from NOK criteria, no button to generate automatically action plan.
- MPA action plan will be evaluated during subsequent MPA audits or PPQ audits

Key to 6 core steps:


Step complete
Step in Progress
Step not Started
Roadblock
e possible :
Mass Production Assessment (MPA)

1) The MPA is a questionnaire used to provide objective evidence that satisfies Stellantis Supplier Quality Expectations.

2) Supplier is required to read through MPA presentation before filling Audit form in order to understand MPA expectation. If needed Supplier can contact approved 3rd party
providers for MPA training or workshop.

3) Suppliers are required to keep completed copies of the MPA, and accompanying corrective action plans, covering the prior 12 months.
Latest audit shall be forwarded to SQE responsible for the plant.

4) Supplier is required to forward an updated self- assessment with associated action plan every 12 months after initial certification or 60 days after any key management
change (Plant manager, Quality Manager or Operation Manager) or repeat Quality issue.
If self-assessment is missed to submit, certification can be revoked.
5) Self-assessment audits can not and will not be certified without verification by customer SQE or customer representative.

6) Overall scoring of 85% or greater without any Red key elements will be certified.

7) MPA certification (in progress)


It is important to note that this certification can be revoked at any time during this period if it has been determined that a supplier's quality performance has deteriorated.
QSB+ elements can be checked by PSA during post certification visits, compliance audit or PCPA.

8) A List of Approved 3rd party providers is available on PSA B2B Portal.

9) Any questions about audit or audit procedure should be addressed to responsible Stellantis SQE.

10) The results of the audit in no way absolve the supplier of its responsibility in relation with its commitments toward local regulation and its customers requirements.
