1.0 PURPOSE :

To define special control needs to be exercised during the initial phase of mass production with the purpose of
collecting sufficient data in order to judge whether the mass production can be continued using the existing process .

2.0 SCOPE :

This procedure is applicable to all new parts & change parts (both customer ECN’s and in-house changes .

3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES :

The overall responsibility of maintaining the effectiveness and implementation of this procedure lies with

2 Major modification in any parts Review control plan QA Manager
3 A new machinery is installed Lay out inspection QA Manager
4 When a major change in process Change control plan QA Manager
5 When a part is remanufacturing Lay out inspection QA Manager
after long lay off(>=12 months)

Activities during initial supply control.

C. Criteria for termination of Initial supply

1. Cpk more than 1.67 is achieved
2. All the problem which occurred during the development are resolved and cross check to assure that they
remains resolved
3. Any new problem arising during the initial supply control are also resolved.

Termination authority during initial supply is QA head.

D. Visual Display
1. All Process under initial supply to be identified by putting display on each process with part name, part
number, start date, end date etc.
2. For single piece flow processes , start and end stations identified

Initial supply control tags have

1. Part name/no.
2. supplier name
3. change type i.e. New Product /Design/ process
4. process flow diagram In back of the tag.

E. The records of defects and rejection data during initial supply control period maintained separately by QA dept.
and Development dept. for future reference and compression.

 Retention period

. The records of defects and rejection data during initial supply control period maintained separately by QA dept.
and Development dept. for future reference and compression A parts retention period is 11 years and for general
parts 1 years.
