1. FINISHED VEHICLE GEOMETRY PROCESS

1.1. FOREWORD

A cross-functional "finished vehicle process" has been defined by an inter-disciplinary work group
(development process 71-01-000).

The objective is to formalize the cross-functional process at the vehicle engineering department and
the IDVU, with each department (DIEC – DICAP – DIAMA - DTV) having as its objective the definition
of such a process within its own scope of operations.

The geometry function encompasses all activities ensuring that the design and volume manufacture of
products are in conformity with the dimensional objectives indicated on the drawing and that they meet
the appearance, operating and assemblability objectives accordingly.

It is a pre-requisite for perceived quality, both dimensional and functional.

The finished vehicle geometry process establishes rules and reference tools common to the vehicle
engineering departments (DIAM-DIEC-DICAP) and IDVU (DIAMA – DTV) in order to:

- obtain a robust design conducive to obtaining a clear contract,

- ensure efficient product manufacture by involving all operatives in the startup function groups
around common analysis items. Develop and share action plans in order to converge towards
conformity of the bought-out part and of the finished vehicle.

1.2. EQUIPMENT BOUGHT-OUT PART GEOMETRY

The geometry process is applicable to all parts under the responsibility of the various development
teams (GFE/PFE) at the Body Equipment Engineering Department and at the IDVU and contributes to:

- the appearance as perceived by the Customer,

- satisfactory operation of the vehicle,

- assemblability.

Each GFE/PFE is responsible both for the parts within its own perimeter and for the constituent items
of the assemblies. Accordingly, the GFE/PFEs shall coordinate the activities of the suppliers to ensure
nd
the geometry process is effectively implemented by the 2 tier Suppliers.

© RENAULT 2004 Page 5/25

RENAULT 32 - 00 - 059 / - - -

In such capacity, one of the responsibilities of the GFE/PFEs is to obtain verification devices to ensure
that the development and validation requirements are met.

For this purpose, they benefit from the assistance and expertise of the DIEC and IDVU DIAMA
geometry teams.

2. DEFINITION OF THE EQUIPMENT BOUGHT-OUT PART VERIFICATION DEVICES

2.1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the metrology function is to issue reliable and coherent results, to provide information
conducive to correct decision-making and to decide (with full knowledge of the associated risks) on
whether or not the product measured is in conformity with the specifications.

The purpose of this chapter is to clarify the technical definition of the bought-out part verification
devices.

2.2. STANDARDIZED DEFINITION OF EQUIPMENT BOUGHT-OUT EQUIPMENT PARTS

2.2.1. Definition

A verification device is a physical support, the objective of which is to reproduce the theoretical
utilization conditions of the parts on the vehicle and allow for their verification in an accurate and
repeatable manner.

In most cases, these supports are the property of RENAULT.

2.2.2. Various types of tests and associated measurement devices

To quantify the level of conformity of the parts, several types of tests may be conducted.

PART VERIFICATION

Min-max ligne
Gauge pins
...

NOTE: If a go no-go feeler gauge or visual type production verification device is used, then during
the tryout phase, the supplier shall submit quantitative measurement results (3D
measurements required).

The two examples of bought-out part verification devices below are used to quantify the
measurement values, i.e. by means of 3D verification or 1D verification.

RENAULT 32 - 00 - 059 / - - -

Example of a verification device for 3D measurements::

2.3. OBJECTIVES OF THE BOUGHT-OUT PART VERIFICATION DEVICE

The objective of a verification device is to check the dimensions of equipment parts (functional rating
verification) according to three characteristics:

- assemblability,

- appearance,

- function.

For this purpose, the focus is placed on two main functions:

- REFERENCING: The parts are referenced on the verification device as indicated on the drawing
(or geometry file), i.e. with 100 % vehicle representativity. The supports are also representative in
terms of shape, position and dimension of the contact areas on the vehicle.

- SETTING: The position retention function is ensured by fasteners. These items, used to set the
geometry of the part, are representative of the fasteners on the vehicle: position, sequence,
torque ...

RENAULT 32 - 00 - 059 / - - -

2.4. SCOPE OF APPLICATION

All bought-out part verification devices for a given project shall be operational before delivery of the
off-tool parts, and all verification processes shall be validated before the E.N.V.U. milestone (Entry of
New Vehicle in Plant).

The D.I.E.C., I.D.V.U. DIAMA geometry specialists approve validation of the bought-out part
verification devices impacted by the list of "major dimensions" and defined in the finished
vehicle geometry process. Validation of verification devices for parts not included in this list
remains the responsibility of the G.F.E. / P.F.E.

3. DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF EQUIPMENT BOUGHT-OUT PART

VERIFICATION DEVICES DURING THE A.N.P.Q.P. PROCEDURE

3.1. INTRODUCTION

This chapter defines the three major stages in the verification device validation procedure:

- preliminary engineering of verification device (in form of "fine line" study or specification),

- engineering of verification device (same requirements with maximum of details possible on

drawing),

- physical validation of verification device.

3.2. PROJECT MILESTONES

The procedure for the validation of equipment bought-out part verification devices, coordinated and
managed by the Geometry sections (D.I.E.C. Geometry BWU and I.D.V.U. DIAMA finished vehicle
geometry) is coherent with the requirements of the A.N.P.Q.P. procedure ("Alliance New Product
Quality Procedure") and with the geometry process organizational structure.

3.3. MONITORING TOOLS

To manage the wide range of verification devices in the one project, the D.I.E.C. and I.D.V.U.
DIAMA geometry sections use a verification device validation monitoring sheet. This sheet
(including the 3 steps mentioned above) is located in the "technical" files at the D.I.E.C. Geometry
and I.D.V.U. DIAMA sections.

In all cases, the ANPQP verification device specification sheet shall be completed by the Suppliers
and signed (by the finished vehicle geometry dept DIAMA for the IDVU).

3.4. PLANNING

The A.N.P.Q.P. procedure implements a typical part schedule called the "Supplier reference schedule"
(annex 1) including all the items of a project. The item entitled "verification device" shall be broken
down into another schedule named "additional reference schedule".

The detailed stages necessary for the validation of the verification devices shall be entered in this
document in the following manner:

Verification device schedule Date

Start of preliminary analysis or specification

Presentation of preliminary analysis or specification to RENAULT / IDVU
Start of engineering project
End of engineering project
Presentation of engineering project to RENAULT / IDVU
Start of tooling development
Assembly
Delivery of verification device
Start of verification device testing
End of verification device testing
Date of 1st off-tool parts
Presentation of geometry file (Verification report) to RENAULT / IDVU
Physical reception of verification device by RENAULT / IDVU + repeatability
Reproducibility

If the Supplier has been given a waiver authorizing him not to use the reference documents, but the
part schedule instead, the three stages corresponding to the design, development and validation of
the verification devices shall be included along with the diagram above.

For the DIEC, a model document available from the geometry BWU may be used (annex 2).

3.5. EQUIPMENT BOUGHT-OUT PART VERIFICATION DEVICE DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND

PROCEDURE

At the end of the functional rating preparation, each part is assigned specific geometric characteristics.

Such characteristics, indicated on the drawings (rating, isotatism table and test point table, hierarchy
class, specifications No, …), are to be incorporated during the verification device preliminary
engineering project and engineering project.

3.5.1. Preliminary engineering or specification

(ANPQP Phase 2)

The purpose of this stage is to validate the design of the Supplier's verification device with respect to
the geometrical specifications on the part drawing before launching the definitive project.

For this purpose, the supplier shall provide rough drawings or specifications of the verification device.

These documents shall indicate:

- the isotatism of the part which shall be identical to the isotatism of the part installed on the vehicle
(specified on the part drawing itself based on the I.D.V.U. DIAMA finished vehicle geometry or the
I.V. interface sheet),

- indication of the test points (based on the test point table included on the part drawing if known
at this stage of the project),

- an axonometric view indicating the device with the part: the test shall be performed in the vehicle
position (part and verification device) unless a waiver validated by the i.D.V.U. or D.I.E.C has
been accorded,

- the type of verification shall be specified in an unambiguous manner (Template, 1D, 3D, mixed go
/ no go).

VALIDATION OF THIS STAGE BY THE D.I.E.C. GEOMETRY BWU OR THE DIAMA FINISHED
VEHICLE DEPT AT THE i.D.V.U. CONSTITUTES APPROVAL TO CONTINUE TO THE NEXT
STAGE: THE VERIFICATION DEVICE ENGINEERING STAGE

NOTE: All waivers from the above-mentioned requirements shall be validated by the D.I.E.C. or
i.D.V.U. geometry specialists.

RENAULT 32 - 00 - 059 / - - -

3.5.2. Engineering

(ANPQP phase 2)

The purpose of this stage is to obtain technical approval for the verification device design while taking
into account the geometrical specifications on the part drawing and the remarks made during the
preliminary engineering stage.

These documents shall indicate:

- all items in the preliminary engineering project,

- all detailed sections necessary for a good comprehension of requirements (Physical indication of
isotatism, position of test points, coordinates, ...),

- all specific precautions relative to the utilization of the device,

- all detail drawings,

- all specific information relative to the part under verification (symmetry, assembled part, ...).

Validation of this stage by the D.I.E.C. geometry BWU or the DIAMA finished vehicle dept
at the I.D.V.U. constitutes approval to continue to the next stage: Development of the
verification device and the ensuing tooling launch. However, because of time constraints,
the Supplier is permitted to start development of the basic items of the device (e.g. cast
items or other items not ensuring a geometry function).
This approval does invoke the responsibility of the D.I.E.C. geometry department or
i.D.V.U. for the robustness of the technical solution proposed for the project, which
remains the responsibility of the Supplier.

NOTE: It is essential that the supplier observe this procedure since all physical modifications made
to the verification devices (without preliminary approval or specific requests from the
D.I.E.C. or i.D.V.U. geometry specialists) will be under the responsibility of the suppliers,
from an economic point of view,.

Validation of the project paves the way for signature of the verification device approval
specification sheet during the A.N.P.Q.P (annex 3) (approval box in verification device
specification). This finalized sheet is used to meet the ANPQP requirement item 2.8 (Plan
for the implementation of production devices, quality control devices and test devices).

3.6. PROCEDURE AND METHOD FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF

EQUIPMENT BOUGHT-OUT PART VERIFICATION DEVICES

ANPQP Phase 3

The verification process is validated in order to ensure it is in conformity with specifications.

Its purpose is to monitor the measurement results and all ensuing corrective actions. These results
and actions are recorded to ensure traceability of parts with an known uncertainty of measurement.

© RENAULT 2004 Page 11/25

RENAULT 32 - 00 - 059 / - - -

During this stage, performed at the Supplier's, the following items are verified:

- the dimensional conformity (geometrical validation of verification device),

- repeatability,

- reproducibility,

- the verification device manual.

The RENAULT development requirements are defined in this document.

The RENAULT validation requirements are defined in this document and in CNOMO standard
E41.36.115.N.

NOTE: If the Supplier does not have access to the various standards, they can be obtained from
the buyers, the GFE /PFE or the geometry department (DIEC or DIAMA finished vehicle
geometry).

A device is considered operational if its geometry and repeatability are accepted by

RENAULT.
A verification device is validated if its geometry, repeatability and reproducibility have been
validated by RENAULT.

3.6.1. Dimensional conformity of verification device

The purpose of the verification device geometric acceptance test is to ensure that it has been
developed within the defined tolerances.

The verification is performed on a three-dimensional measurement machine. These machines shall be

calibrated and the calibration certificate shall be presented.

The verification is performed as follows:

- align the reference tri-hedral of the device representing the vehicle coordinates (see § 4.3.6.),

- measure the reference datum points and items contributing to the measurement of the part
(gauge supports, surrounding volumes),

- draw up a test report indicating the theoretical values and measured values.

The verification device test report is sent to the DIEC and iDVU geometry specialists before the
validation audit.

The following general information shall be indicated on the geometry report:

- the name of the vehicle project concerned (e.g. J77),

- the designation, type and RENAULT reference of the part for which the device has been
developed (type: proto, C-LOT, production, ...),

- part revision level for which the device has been validated,

- the measurement method for which the device is intended (1D, 3D, environment),

- the date of verification,

- clear indication of geometrical acceptance dated and signed by the quality manager of the part
supplier.

3.6.1.1. Development tolerances: RENAULT requirements

The development tolerances are those indicated in Standard 00-60-209, as a minimum requirement.

Namely:

TOLERANCES
TYPE
(mm)

All primary and secondary reference datum points of parts, ± 0,1

supports and alignments

∅ pilots / engineering nominal - 0,05 - 0,1

The measurement volumes (play, flush) ± 0,15 for L < 1 m

± 0,2 for L > 1 m

Measurement plotting ± 0,2

- Position of sensing point in directions other than that ± 0,5

measured.
± 0,1
- Gauge support area (in direction of measurement)

Surface condition of machinings conducted by numerical 0,02

control (max. depth of grooves)

Operating play and oscillation (float set to 0) 0,05

3.6.2. Repeatability and reproducibility

3.6.2.1. Repeatability

Level of alignment between results of successive measurements in the one measurement campaign
performed under all the following conditions (Standard NFX 06-033):

- same method,

- same operator,

- same instrument,

- same location,

- same operating conditions.

Repeatability serves to quantify dispersions of the verification device.

It is conducted partially or totally in the presence of the DIEC/IDVU geometry specialists.

If the repeatability test is performed before the audit, the report is sent to the DIEC or DIAMA IDVU
finished vehicle geometry specialists and/or to the GFE/PFEs.

A verification is then conducted on certain points during the device audit.

The tool used is the verification device capability approval "macro-informatics" tool provided by the
DIEC and IDVU geometry specialists.

© RENAULT 2004 Page 13/25

RENAULT 32 - 00 - 059 / - - -

Procedure: Repeatability for a 1D/3D verification device

- Select 1 Definitive Off-Tool part (Prototype parts are prohibited since they are not representative).

- Measure this part 5 times while conducting an removal-re-installation after each measurement.
The sequence of installation, tightening and torque shall be observed.

- Calculate the repeatability standard deviation (Sr).

Repeatability is accepted if Sr is equal to or less than IT/16

Procedure: Repeatability for a "does pass - does not pass" or visual verification

- Place a part issued from volume production tooling on the verification device (prototypes
prohibited because they are not representative).

- Plot the contours of the part on the verification device

- With the SAME part, repeat the measurement 5 times in a row: The value of the variations on the
curves shall not exceed 0,5 mm.

NOTE: If, because of its flexibility, the part is not compatible with this method, the repeatability test
may be wavered subject to the authorization of the geometry sectors.

3.6.2.2. Reproducibility

Level of alignment between successive measurement results during the same campaign with separate
measurements performed while varying conditions such as (standard NF X06-033):

- method,

- operator,

- instrument,

- location,

- operating conditions.

Reproducibility serves to quantify verification process dispersions.

The procedure remains the same as for the repeatability test, however 5 parts are tested and the
operation is performed while switching around one or more operators.

Reproducibility procedure for 1D/3D verification device

- Select 4 definitive off-tool parts in addition to the 1st part used for the repeatability computation.

- Measure each part at least 5 times in an iterative manner (Repeat the procedure as many times
as there are parts). The installation, tightening and torque sequences shall be observed.

- Calculate Sri (i representing the number of parts) and Sr
Experimental measurement standard
deviation.

Reproducibility is accepted if Sr is equal to or less than IT/12

© RENAULT 2004 Page 14/25

RENAULT 32 - 00 - 059 / - - -

The reproducibility report is sent to the DIEC and IDVU DIAMA finished vehicle geometry specialists
and/or to the GFE/PFEs, prior to the validation audit. The tool used is the verification device capability
approval "macro-informatics" tool provided by the DIEC and IDVU geometry specialists.

3.6.3. Verification device operating manual

The operating manual shall enable all operators to use the device correctly and in a repeatable
manner. Accordingly, it shall include the sequence of installation (removal) and tightening
(loosening), the tightening torques, the verification procedure and all specific information relative to
the utilization of the verification device.

4. TECHNICAL DEFINITION OF BODYWORK EQUIPMENT PART VERIFICATION DEVICES

4.1. INTRODUCTION

The design and development choices are the responsibility of the Supplier.

4.2. POLICY FOR CHOOSING THE TYPE OF VERIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT

The choice of the type of measurement system depends both on the level of accuracy sought and on
the envisaged frequency of measurement.

In all cases, resolution of the measurement system shall be less than IT/20.

The required frequency of measurement for the application of the geometry process is as follows:

RDVi
AMPS AF
analysis S-lot V1 S-lot V2 S-lot V3 Production
(PSW) (AFF)
loop

Number of 1 or 2 5 mini 5 mini 5 mini 30 30 As per

parts to be surveillance
measured plan

4.3. VERIFICATION DEVICE ITEMS

It shall be possible to dismantle the verification device. It is absolutely necessary therefore to be able
to peg all items to be attached to the surface block to ensure they can be replaced exactly at the same
location.

© RENAULT 2004 Page 15/25

RENAULT 32 - 00 - 059 / - - -

4.3.1. Verification device base structure

a) CAST ALUMINIUM is
recommended for machined
measurement devices (play and
flush) for piece parts.

b) The ALUMINIUM PLATE is used only for small devices of dimensions less than 500*500.

c) The JOINT-WELDED fixture

issued for devices of
dimensions greater
than 500*500.
For the 3D and 1D
measurements, piece parts or
assemblies are recommended.

d) CARBONE STEEl STRUCTURE or ALUMINIUM TUBE base is recommended in the case of

measurement supports where the verification device must minimize the weight while ensuring a
good level of rigidity and geometrical setting of the assembly over time.

4.3.2. Referencing devices

4.3.2.1. Supports

The support surfaces shall be representative

in terms of shape, dimension and position of
the part supports on the vehicle.

All variations in representativity shall be

validated by the DIEC and IDVU geometry
specialists.

© RENAULT 2004 Page 16/25

RENAULT 32 - 00 - 059 / - - -

4.3.2.2. Pilots

Pilots (like all other reference systems) serve to

reduce the degree of freedom of a part from 1, 2 or 3
degrees.

The table below summarizes how different pilots are used in their respective housings.

The pilots shall be removable (pegs, …).

4.3.3. Position retention devices

4.3.3.1. Brackets

Brackets shall only be used in exceptional

circumstances when it is difficult to obtain a
representative tightening torque. To be used only
in the case of a very low tightening torque.
In all cases, they shall be validated by the DIEC
and IDVU geometry specialists.

© RENAULT 2004 Page 17/25

RENAULT 32 - 00 - 059 / - - -

4.3.3.2. Fastening or locating pins

These pins ensure the same function as a pilot

however they have a tightening function if on
the vehicle the references are also used as
fasteners.

4.3.3.3. Clips

Use clips installed on vehicle. Two possibilities exist:

a) Clips incorporated on part: it is necessary

to provide for a mechanical unclipping
system.

b) Clips added upon installation: Use real clips. Destroyed upon removal.

4.3.4. Measurement verification devices

4.3.4.1. Gauges

This is the most commonly used type of measurement (measurement time). The measurement is
performed in an orthogonal manner (Normal) with respect to the part.

The most common devices are:

a) Type 33 or 70 gauges
inserted in machined
supports equipped with
standard gills.

© RENAULT 2004 Page 18/25

RENAULT 32 - 00 - 059 / - - -

b) Type A - B - C - D gauges
placed on support plates.

Gauges are adaptable capacity and standard measurement tools, i.e. valid for a certain number of test
points. It is not necessary therefore to have one gauge by test point. Provide for a storage location on
the device and a location for resetting prior to each series of measurements (see § 4.3.6.).

4.3.4.2. Hinged gripping devices

Gripping devices are gauge supports consisting

of a hinge, guiding and indexing items, a
blocking system and a rest position travel limit
stop.

This type of support item is used very rarely –

only if a part of the device prevents the
positioning of the part, i.e. the clearance
necessary for their operation and wear over
time are often incompatible with the level of
tolerance sought.

4.3.4.3. Trams – feelers

Feeler gauges, rulers,

callipers, micrometers can
also be used for 1D
measurements.

However, it is imperative when choosing such tools to effectively verify the level of resolution, which
must be equal to or greater than IT/20.

© RENAULT 2004 Page 19/25

RENAULT 32 - 00 - 059 / - - -

4.3.5. Attribute verification devices

These devices do not provide quantitative results (see § 2.2.2.).

4.3.5.1. Visual verification: min-max curve

The object of this type of verification is to

visually check the position of the part on a
line representing the nominal, minimum
and maximum of the allocated tolerance.
This is one of the least expensive types of
solutions (fast and low cost per hour)
however cannot be used to quantify the
measurements. Accordingly, if visual
inspection is envisaged for volume
production, additional 3D measurements
are required during the tryout phase

Utilization of this type of verification is subject to the approval of the DIEC and IDVU geometry teams.

4.3.5.2. Go / no go gauges

4.3.6. Devices used to verify the devices

Used to align the three-dimensional machine when measuring the verification device.

3 types of device can be used.

a) Pinnules:

Each pinnule hole shall be identified along

with the centre coordinates expressed in the
vehicle coordinate system.

© RENAULT 2004 Page 20/25

RENAULT 32 - 00 - 059 / - - -

b) Reference pads:

The coordinates of the vehicle trihedral shall be

indicated on 3 plates (1 per axis) positioned in
turn opposite the corresponding pad. The base
indicates the vehicle coordinate datum point, the
end indicates the direction of the axis concerned.
The values indicated on these pads indicate the
distance with respect to the datum point.
These items shall be protected.

c) Machined surfaces

The reference surfaces are machined

directly on the castings.
They shall be associated with protection
items.

4.3.7. Ancillary items

Handling:

All devices of weight equal to or greater

than 20 kg shall be designed to ensure
being handled and to be balanced. A
system of rings is usually used as they
facilitate movement of the device using
hoists..

Painting:

Painting ensures an anti-corrosion function.

It is therefore not mandatory depending on the choice of materials used for the manufacture of the
devices.

The colour is not imposed however, by convention, RENAULT uses blue.

© RENAULT 2004 Page 21/25

RENAULT 32 - 00 - 059 / - - -

Storage of removable items:

Mobile items are components necessary for the

satisfaction operation of the verification device,
however they can be easily misplaced.
Provision shall therefore be made for a storage
