Introduction
4
Supplier Quality Manual
Automotive suppliers with embedded software are required to implement and maintain a process for quality
assurance. Based on risk and potential impact to the customer, AGM may require a software capability
assessment.
5
Supplier Quality Manual
Subcontractor Development
With the increasing demands for higher quality at a lower cost, the entire supply chain is
responsible for increasing quality and contribution to a lower overall cost. It is AGM’s
expectation that all AGM production suppliers work closely with their supply base to
ensure that the quality level of received product meets AGM and its customers’
requirements and expectations. The primary area of focus is in the communication and
documentation of customer requirements, which is achieved through APQP (Advanced
Product Quality Planning). Through the APQP process, the subcontractor is informed of
customer requirements and expectations and develops the process foundation.
Certification of Conformance
When required by AGM, each shipment shall include a Certification of Conformance. The
Certificate of Conformance must contain a statement that all inspections, processing, and
tests have been performed as required by the drawing requirements and/or Purchase Order.
Products controlled by heat numbers, certification numbers, batch numbers, or cure dates
must be linked to the Certificate of Conformance by the controlling number, and show
physical and chemical values when applicable.
6
Supplier Quality Manual
When an Engineering Change Notice (ECN) is issued by AGM the supplier is required to
provide AGM with breakpoint and obsolescence information. The supplier is required to
identify the next 2 shipments, unless otherwise specified by AGM, with the ECN
Breakpoint Label, see page 37. The label (6” x 6” minimum) is required on all boxes. If
product is not properly identified with the breakpoint label and the correct information
the supplier will be issued another QI and their scorecard will be negatively impacted.
7
Supplier Quality Manual
Material Labeling
All product shipping into any AGM facility must be bar code labeled. All labels must
follow the AIAG format and contain the follow information at a minimum, whne
specified by AGM. Additional requirements may be required based on AGM customer
requirements.
• Part Number
• Quantity
• Part Description
• Date of Manufacture
• Part Revision Level
• Lot Number
AGM Automotive requires IMDS to be submitted to AGM’s site code 34118 through the
MDS system, which can be accessed at http://www.mdsystem.com and observe the
requirement of the IMDS Recommendation 001.
Suppliers must include IMDS data with their PPAP submissions. If the data is not
received with the PPAP submission, AGM Automotive reserves the right to refuse PPAP
sign-off. Additionally, AGM may issue a QI and the supplier score card may be
negatively affected by late or non-submittal of IMDS.
Right of Access
Supplier shall provide AGM, its customer(s), and/or a specified third party
(statutory/regulatory agency) right of access to the facility and all records related to
product ordered by AGM or its customers. AGM, its customer(s) representative(s), and/or
a specified third party reserves the right to perform an audit or inspection at the supplier’s
facility to verify that supplied product conforms to specified requirements. This
verification does not absolve the supplier of the responsibility to provide acceptable
product and does not preclude subsequent rejection by AGM or its customer.

Supplier Quality Manual
Scoring Criteria and
Performance Tracking
➢ Suppliers performance is tracked by five categories
totaling 100 points on a rolling 12 month calendar according
to the following categories:
➢ PPM = 30 points.
➢ Written Concern Quantity = 20 points.
➢ On-Time Delivery Percentage = 30 points.
➢ Communication = 20 points.
9
Supplier Quality Manual
Quality - PPM
➢ At the end of the calendar year below are the required
actions based on the yearly performance results:
➢ Yellow
➢ Corrective action recommended for any
category in yellow.
➢ Improvement Plan Recommended.
➢ Red
➢ Corrective action required for any one category in
red.
➢ Improvement plan required if total score is in
red.
➢ AGM supplier audit may be required (AGM travel
cost will be supplier responsibility).
Non-conforming material identified as the responsibility of the supplier will be noted as PPM,
except;
The AGM plant affected by the non-conforming parts will decide whether of not the supplier should
sort product on location at AGM facility. A supplier must report all non-conforming product found
in sorting. AGM quality will decide whether all non-conforming products will be classified as PPM,
or only those parts which were found by AGM.
A supplier must give AGM Quality team an RMA (Return Material Authorization) within 24
hours of the time the PPM was reported. AGM reserves the right to claim compensation from
a supplier for any sort activities ($50 per hour USD) or downtime resulting from supplier PPM

Supplier Quality Manual
Quality – Written Concerns
Supplier Quality Incident Tracking
AGM issues a Problem Report (PR) for reporting and resolving supplier quality, delivery,
customer satisfaction and warranty issues. Suppliers must formally respond to a Quality
incident with a systemic countermeasure process (See page 30 for the required formats).
• PR(s) created for supplier issues are considered written complaints and are part of
the supplier’s scorecard.
Suppliers must give an initial respond within 24 hours with containment actions,
48 hours for oversees suppliers.

Delivery Performance
Delivery
The delivery score accounts for 30 points of the overall scorecard. Delivery ratings are calculated
on the basis of the amount of shipments that have errors versus the total amount of shipments in a
given fiscal month. This information is then calculated into a percentage.
Delivery ratings are based on the number of occurrences when it is determined to be the supplier’s
responsibility:
EXAMPLE: During one month, a supplier sends 36 shipments. Out of the total 36, 1 shipment is
late and 1 shipment is short of the quantity ordered.

Containment Requirements
Containment Requirements
All suppliers are required to have a documented containment process, which must include
methods of identifying corrective action and containing suspect material in order to
prevent non-conforming material from entering back into production or being received by
an AGM facility.
The supplier is required to provide AGM with breakpoint information and identify the
next 2 shipments, unless otherwise specified by AGM Quality, with the Breakpoint Label
(6” x 6” minimum) on page 36. The label is required on all boxes.
In addition to setting up containment at its own facility, a supplier must also manage
containment activities of parts at all AGM Automotive facilities and all material that is in
transit to AGM Automotive. AGM Quality department will notify the supplier by
e-mail using the Problem Report. In the Problem Report AGM Automotive will request
corrective action. Corrective action updates will be required through out the containment
process.
17
Supplier Quality Manual
Containment Requirements
(continued)
Containment - Continued
If the supplier’s containment is ineffective and AGM Automotive receives defected
material after the breakpoint, or during the breakpoint requirement (including labeling)
are not met, a third party containment may be required. If this occurs the supplier will be
issued another Problem Report and their scorecard will be negatively impacted. The
presence of the third party sorting company does not relieve the supplier of Containment
Activities.
18
Supplier Quality Manual
Cost Recovery
Cost Recovery Policy
Suppliers to AGM Automotive are liable for all costs incurred by AGM Automotive
during containment activities when the cause is the supplier responsibility. The “Cost
Recovery Report” will be submitted monthly to each supplier. The guide lines are
outlined as such:
