1 Introduction
Industrie Saleri Italo S.p.A. (hereinafter referred to as Saleri) operates in a very demanding
market that requires all the company to adopt policies to increase competitiveness.
In this context, only companies that will persue with determination the path of continuous
improvement of products and processes will excel.
Saleri Supply Management System here described, focuses on the goal to select, develop
and manage Suppliers able to maintain a high quality level of the supplies during all the
production process (from prototypes, SOP and EOP) thus satisfying Saleri requirements and
its final Customers.
Saleri requires to its Suppliers to achive the “0 ppm” level of scraps; this goal has to be achied
throughout:
- robust development of product and production process;
- compliance with Saleri approved processes;
- disclosure of this SPECIFICATION to all the sub-suppliers;
- delivery of material conforming to Saleri drawings, specifications and within the
agreed timing.

This document applies from the moment the Supplier his choosen for the development of a
new product until the end of the serial production.

The “Quality Specification for Purchased Parts” applies to all the supply relationships
between Saleri and its Suppliers.

2 Supply Management System

2.1 General requirements
To be a Saleri Supplier means to supply premium products in Automotive market.
This requires to Saleri Suppliers the capacity and strength to develop and produce
components witht the most appropriate technologies available.

To this end, Saleri Suppliers must adopt Quality, Environmental and Safety
Management Systems along with systems capable of developing product and
processes able to guarantee the quality and reliability of the supplied products.

2.1.1 Quality Management System

All Saleri Suppliers must have a certified Quality Management System.
Saleri goal is to have all Suppliers IATF 16949 or ISO/TS 16949 certified (during
transition time).
After September 14th, 2018, the Supplier shall have a IATF 16949:2016 certificate
to be considered certified under Automotive standards.

Saleri does accept Suppliers certified ISO 9001 only if a plan to achieve the IATF
16949:2016 is available and strongly supported by Management (applies only
for OE Suppliers).
Saleri does also require that the Suppliers will use certified sub-suppliers in their
supply chain.

2.1.2 Environmental, Health & Safety Management System

The Suppliers must have a management system to support Health, Safety and
Environmental within their manufacturing plant.
 IST.08.003-ENG
QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS FOR Rel. 01
PURCHASED PARTS Date 31/01/2018
Pag. 4 of 29

Moreover, they have to follow the local laws and to the practice defined by
Saleri when admitted to the Saleri plants.
To ensure the conformance to the laws, the Suppliers must introduce the
information of the materials used in theis manufacturing cycle inside the
International Material Data System (IMDS).

2.1.3 Customer Specific Requirements

The Supplier must know and apply all the CSR that Saleri’s Customers require.
Saleri must communicate to the Suppliers the final Customer for which the
product is assembled.

2.2 Supplier qualification

The selection process to introduce a new potential supplier involves both Saleri
Purchasing and Quality organization.
Purchasing evaluation are based on the following:
- quality certification of the potential supplier;
- experience in the automotive field with special regard to supply intended for
OE market;
- ability of the supplier to satisfy the technical requirements of the product;
- ability of the supplier to satisfy the estimated volumes, machinery and
organization structure;
- proximity to Saleri and/or the readiness in responding to customer claims;
- economic aspects.

After Purchasing feedback, a more detailed analysis of the potential supplier is

performed by Saleri SQE (Supplier Quality Engineer) by executing a specific Audit at
the Supplier Plant.
For ISO 9001 certified Suppliers the evaluation audit will be performed based on Saleri
document MOD.08.013-ENG (Check list ANFIA – New Supplier) while for ISO/TS 16949 or
IATF 16949 certified Suppliers the Saleri document MOD.08.014 (Check list VDA6.3 –
Potential Analysis) will be used.

Possible areas for improvements will be listed in the Saleri document MOD.08.015
(Action Plan) stating for each item of the list due date for the solution of the non-
conformity found.

Depending on the result of the audit the Supplier will be rated as:

RED – Supplier (potential) blocked

Is not possible to issue a nomination for the product.
YELLOW – Supplier with conditional approval
It is possible to issue a nomination for the product but under some conditions.
The minimum conditions necessary to minimize the risk are:
- limitation to a specific product;
- the Supplier (potential) is introduced into a Suppliers Development
Program to monitor the progresses over the project.
GREEN – Supplier approved (potential)
It is possible to issue a nomination for the product with no limitations.
 IST.08.003-ENG
QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS FOR Rel. 01
PURCHASED PARTS Date 31/01/2018
Pag. 5 of 29

The potentials of the Suppliers will be evaluated based on the following:

- general information
- specific technical and technological skills
- developments of product and process
- quality management
- production and logistic management
- sub-suppliers management

The Supplier must be qualified to enter the panel of the Saleri Suppliers to be able to
be nominated for new business.

2.3 APQP – Product and process development

APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) is a management process to develop
new products.
It defines the necessary steps to ensure that the product meets the goals established
by the design, in compliance with the Customer Specific Requirements and in terms of
quality, performances, capacity (production), timeline and costs.
Saleri does use the Project Management to follow all the new products by applying
the APQP process and requires the Tier 1 suppliers to use the same approach thus
ensuring the best quality for the purchased parts.
The Tier 1 Supplier has to manage its own APQP plan according to the Saleri one.

2.3.1 APQP – Product design

2.3.1.1 Design Requirements
Saleri shares with the Supplier all the relevant data necessary to the
component to be purchased:
- volumes and capacity;
- technical requirements (drawings, testing specifications,
reference standards, assembly requirements);
- quality requirements;
- environmental and cogent requirements;
- logistic requirements.
The analysis of the technical requirements is essential in order to
minimize the needs for product modifications during the following
steps of the product development.

2.3.1.2 Feasibility analysis

The Supplier is required to perform a feasibility analysis of all relevant
aspects in the development process management component,
considering the following:
- know-how;
- experience from similar products;
- training of personnel;
- necessary investments in machinery, tooling and all the
necessary fixtures to produce the part;
- available capacity according to the project volumes.

2.3.1.3 DFMEA – Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis

 IST.08.003-ENG
QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS FOR Rel. 01
PURCHASED PARTS Date 31/01/2018
Pag. 6 of 29

If the Supplier is responsible for the design of the component, it is

required to issue the design FMEA highlighting the critical path and the
potential critics in the product.
When the design responsibility is within Saleri, the Supplier must provide
resources and expertise to allow Saleri to identify all the possible
critical issues of the project.
When required, the DFMEA must be completed before design freeze
milestone.

2.3.2 APQP – Process design

2.3.2.1 Flow chart
The Supplier must include in the flow chart all the steps necessary to
manufacture the component as well as all the controls that are
necessary to keep the production under control.
The flow chart must include also raw materials procurements,
outsourcing (when used) up to the shipment of the product.

2.3.2.2 PFMEA – Process Failure Mode and Effect Analysis

The Supplier must issue the PFMEA to identify all the weaknesses of the
process and implement the necessary corrective actions to remove
the potential cause of the failure.
The PFMEA must be ready at the Supplier before Saleri releases the
serial process.

2.3.2.3 Control plan

The Supplier, based on the outcomes of the flow chart and PFMEA,
must issue the control plan with all the controls to be carried out during
the production.
For each step of the flow chart the following are defined as a must:
- product characteristics
- process characteristics
- frequency of the control
- methods
- gauges
- reaction plan
- evidence of the registration of the data
The significant/critics characteristics shown in the Saleri drawing must
be highlighted in the control plan.

2.3.3 APQP – Process development

The Supplier has the responsibility to develop the manufacturing process
according to the findings in the earlier stages of the design of the product and
the process.
More in detail are required:
- the product must meet the design requirements;
- adequate capabilities for the critical characteristics;
- adequate installed capacity for the volumes of the project;
- adequate measuring system;
- adequate working conditions;
 IST.08.003-ENG
QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS FOR Rel. 01
PURCHASED PARTS Date 31/01/2018
Pag. 7 of 29

- training of the personnel involved in the process.

2.3.4 APQP – Product/Process validation

2.3.4.1 PPAP – Production Part Approval Process (Was I07-151)
At the end of the process development, Saleri has to validate it to
guarantee that the serial production is suitable and capable to
produce conforming parts.
Saleri has defined different PPAP levels depending on several factors:
- OE applications (depending on the milestone of the project);
- After Market applications;
- Prototypes.
The PPAP documentation must always accompany the parts
submitted by the supplier.

2.3.4.1.1 Samples submission

The submission of the sampling to Saleri must be done in
the following way:
- Language: Italian or English (no other languages
are admitted);
- Electronic format: all the documentation in one
single .pdf file (as per PPAP level request);
- Destination: through mail sent to the following
address:
documentazione.ppap@saleri.it
in the subject the part number must be shown as
well as the ECL of the drawing (see the example
below):

2.3.4.1.2 Requested documentation

All the submitted samples (referred to new products or
modification to serial products), must be accompanied
with a specific documentation depending on the PPAP
level requested by Saleri with the PO.

No matter the level requested, the samples must always

be accompanied by the following:
- Declaration of product conformity filled by the
supplier (MOD.08.003-ENG);
- Balloned Saleri drawing;
- Dimensional checks;
- Material certificats and/or heat treatments
certificates;
- PSW (Warrant);
therefore the level 1 PPAP is the minimum requirement
Saleri asks to its suppliers.
 IST.08.003-ENG
QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS FOR Rel. 01
PURCHASED PARTS Date 31/01/2018
Pag. 8 of 29

If the request on the PO refers to a PPAP level 2-5, the rest

of the documentation might be submitted to Saleri within
10 days from the delivery of the components (the count
starts from the date in which Saleri accepts the goods at
the incoming materials department).

The output of Saleri approval process is the CAP

(Certificato Approvazione Prodotto – MOD.08.011/1); this
document is issued no earlier than 10+1 days to allow the
supplier to submit the missing documentation.

If due to production needs Saleri should control the

samples and the dimensional result should be conforming
to the requirements, the sampling procedure will be kept
on-hold untile day 10+1 to allow the supplier to submit the
missing documentation (if any).

Of course if the dimensional control should find non

conformances (from functionality point of view), the
samples will be rejected even if all the documentation is
complete.

2.3.4.1.3 Saleri PPAP levels

Saleri has defined the following PPAP levels depending on
the application of the component or the status of the
samples in the APQP process:

Saleri PPAP

- (§§): in case the production is carried out with the use of mold and trimming tooling (for
example die-casting process), level 3 can be submitted with the use of mold serial tool
without the use of the trimming tool; when it comes to level 4 both tools have to be used
to produce the parts.

Notes:
(*): with regards to the MSA studies, the minimum requirement defined by Saleri is that Type 1 +
Type 2 or 3 studies be performed depending on the type of the instrument; if the
instrument/characteristic is defined by attributes, the requirement is to perform MSA study for
attributes.
(**): for Type 1 studies, the requirement is Cg ≥1.33
for Type 2/3 studies the requirement is that the percentage be ≤20%

In case Saleri should require more documents or controls,

these will be highlighted in the PO.
The Supplier is required to check the PPAP level required
with each PO and contact Saleri Quality Department if
problems or other should arise.
Only Saleri Quality could grant derogations to the
requested documentation.
This derogation needs to be given in written form and the
Supplier must include this in the documentation
submitted.

2.3.4.1.4 Dimensional checks, visuals and functionals

Before sending the parts to Saleri for the approval, the
Supplier must check the conformance of the parts with:
- dimensional checks
- visual checks
- functional checks
in accordance with Saleri specifications and drawing.
The submission of the samples to Saleri must be done
following the below listed rules:

Prototype part (DPx.xxxxx.x)
all the parts delivered to Saleri must
be identified and the dimensional
report must refer to the part
identification
Applies to all the parts no matter the technology:
if the order is for smaller than 5 pieces, the requirement
is to perform the control of 100% of the pieces for all
the dimensions indicated in the Saleri drawing; if the
order is greater than 5 pieces then the same
requirement applies to 5 pieces;
moreover, if the order is greater than 5 pieces, it is
required that the critical charcteristics () be
measured for:
I. 100% of the pieces in case of orders smaller than
20 pieces;
II. 20 pieces taken from the production at regular
intervals for orders smaller than 100 pieces;
III. 1 part every 5 pieces taken at regular intervals for
orders greater than 100 pieces.
 IST.08.003-ENG
QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS FOR Rel. 01
PURCHASED PARTS Date 31/01/2018
Pag. 11 of 29

Serial parts: (2.xxxxx.x) Die castings, castings, forgings and injection moulding:
(3.xxxxx.x) 3 pieces (for each cavity) controlled 100% for all the
(4.xxxxx.x) dimensions on the Saleri drawing.
(5.xxxxx.x) Machined parts:
5 pieces controlled 100% for all the dimensions on the
Saleri drawing (for each fixture if CNC machining or
jaw in case of transfer machine when the total number
of fixtures/jaws is smaller or equal to 4);
3 pieces controlled 100% for all the dimensions on the
Saleri drawing (for each fixture if CNC machining or
jaw in case of transfer machine when the total number
of fixtures/jaws is greater than 4).
Assembled and testes parts:
5 pieces controlled for 100% of the dimensions on the
Saleri drawing.
Note 1: in case of repeated orders on the same part number (prototype or preserial), if the
parts are coming from the same setup, the Supplier is oblieged to notify Saleri to be
able to receive a quick approval as an extension of the previous approved parts.

Note 2: the frequencies indicated in the above table can be modified only upon written
approval by Saleri Quality; this information has to be indicated into the PPAP
documentation.

In case of samplins submitted due to a modification on the

already approved part, it is enough to submit the PPAP
indicating only the measurements of this dimension.
If the characteristic is critical, new capability studies shall
be performed and results submitted.

2.3.4.1.5 Critical/Special characteristics

If the Saleri drawing should not be available for the time
the parts are required (prototypes manufactured based
on a 3D model), the PPAP documentation level 1 shall be
submitted and the critical characteriustics to be taken as
a reference are the one listed in the following table:

Component Critical characteristics ()

Die casting pump body - None
Die casting bracket - None
Machined pump body - Bearing seat diameter
- True position of dowel holes

Flange - Inner diameter (bearing interface)

Complete thermostat - Tightness test (objectifation)
Plastic component with - Tightness test (objectifation)
gasket
Gasket - None

2.3.4.1.6 Packaging
The packaging of the samples shall be such to guarantee
both the integrity of each single part and the cleanliness
requirements indicated in the drawing until the delivery to
Saleri.
Therefore, each single sample shall be placed in a
dedicated packaging to avoid possible damages during
the transportation.
For ferrous parts, it is also required to use a VCI sheet to
protect the parts from corrosion.

2.3.4.1.7 Warrant (PSW)

This document shall contain at least the following:
- part description
- Saleri part number
- ECL of the part
- PPAP level required by Saleri
- address of the production site
- name of the reference in Saleri Purchasing
- reason for submission of the samples
- tooling used (proto, pilot, serial)
- results of the controls
- signature of the responsible person

The Supplier might use its own PSW module or one used in
the Automotive field.

2.3.4.1.8 Deviations from the requirements

Any deviation from the requirements of the drawing
(tolerances, cleanliness, tightness test or other) or from
Saleri specific requirements, MUST be indicated in the PSW
to alert Saleri Quality of the non-conformance affecting
the sampling.

2.3.4.1.9 Salmples identification

The Supplier shall identify each single part referring to the
dimensional report to avoid mixing.
The identification shall not put in danger the conformity of
the part as well as the funtctionality (permanent
objectifation shall be agreed with Saleri Quality).
 IST.08.003-ENG
QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS FOR Rel. 01
PURCHASED PARTS Date 31/01/2018
Pag. 13 of 29

If during the control the Supplier shall find non-conforming

characteristics, it is necessary to contact Saleri Quality to
evaluate if the non-conformance could be accepted.
If Saleri Quality should accept the deviation then a
derogation will need to be issued and attached to the
PPAP documentation.

Such parts will have to be delivered to Saleri separated

from the conforming parts with a dedicated delivery note
and a reference to the derogation.

2.3.4.1.10 Result of the PPAP

Saleri Quality will evaluate the samples and the relevant
documentation.
The result of such control is the document called CAP –
Certificato Approvazione Prodotto (MOD.08.011/1).

Out of this procedure, the following decisions might be

issued:

a) FULLY APPROVED CAP

The parts are conforming and the
documentation is complete.
It is possible that minor non-conformances are
present and they are accepted as not such to
compromise the functionality of the component.

b) CONDITIONALLY APPROVED CAP (*)

The parts are usable although major but not
functional non-conformance are present and/or
the documentation is incomplete or missing.
In case of parts off-tool/off-process the sampling
MUST be submitted again to receive a fully
approved CAP (condition necessary to start
serial process).

c) REJECTED CAP (**)

The parts are not usable (shall sent back to
Supplier) because major nonconformance are
present and these might compromise the
functionality of the final assembly.
The sampling shall be submitted again to
achieve the full approval status (condition
necessary to start serial process)..

WARNING!
(**): the non-conforming parts will be stored in the bonded area for 10 days;
during this period, the parts are available for the Supplier.
Once the 10 days have expired, the materil will be scrapped automatically.
 IST.08.003-ENG
QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS FOR Rel. 01
PURCHASED PARTS Date 31/01/2018
Pag. 14 of 29

It is the Supplier responsibility to take contact with Saleri Purchasing to

determine how to manage the non-conforming material (in any case within
the 10 days mentioned above).

(*): for the parts which are dimensionally conforming but under conditionally
approved CAP, the parts will be stored in Saleri and used after 10 days even
if the documentation will not be submitted; in this case a fee of 200€+VAT will
be charged to the Supplier.

2.3.4.2 Process Audit

After the PPAP approval (serial process – level 4), it is Saleri right to
verify at the Supplier the complete process under the rules defined.
The main topics that will be evaluated during such audit will be:
- sub-supplier management
- supply management and control
- management of the technical documentation and CSR
- PFMEA and control plan
- process documentation (working instructions, poka yoke, etc)
- training of the personnel (ILUO or other approach)
- process and product control
- identification of the product, FIFO and traceability
- maintenance management
- non-conformance management
- measuring devices management
- management of the outsources processes

The evaluation of the Supplier’s process in any case will be done

before the SOP (Start Of Production).

Depending on the result ofn the audit, the global evaluation of the
Supplier will be rated as follows:

1. LEVEL C: process not adequate

The process is not adequate and the Supplier cannot continue with
the delivery of parts under the normal conditions.
The urgent containment actions that the Supplier must put in place
are:
- to introduce a 100% sorting activity for the relevant
characteristics in agreement with Saleri Quality;
- the corrective actions must be urgently implemented and the
Supplier must be continuously monitored by Saleri;
The goods coming from the Supplier must be inspected in Saleri with
a reinforced incoming inspection plan.
A resourcing activity by Saleri is carried out; if the Supplier does not
recover from the situation the business can be moved to a different
source.

2. LEVEL B: process adequate but conditionally accepted

The process is adequate and the Supplier is authorized to supply parts
out of the audited process.
 IST.08.003-ENG
QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS FOR Rel. 01
PURCHASED PARTS Date 31/01/2018
Pag. 15 of 29

An action plan is issued with the list of activities that are necessary to
bring the Supplier to a level A.
The closure of this actions must be witnessed by Saleri SQE.

3. LEVEL A: process adequate and capable

The process is fully approved and the Supplier is authorized to supply
parts out of the audited process.
An action plan might be issued but the closure of the activities does
not require the visit of Saleri SQE.
A new Audit can be necessary in case of new projects or anomalies
during the supply.

2.3.4.3 Run@Rate
Every year Saleri Purchasing sends to all the Suppliers the “Supply
Agreement” with the forecasted year quantity for each purchased
part number.
It is understood that the quantities indicated in the forecast could be
as high as a 20% more (flexibility).
Sareri requirement for the R&R is to produce sufficient to verify that the
process be able to guarantee:
- absence of bottle necks in all the process steps;
- efficiency and effectiveness of the process (OEE, production
stops, scrap management etc…);
- real installed capacity;
- possible criticalities not observed during the previous steps.

2.3.4.4 Requalification
The Supplier is oblieged to make a requilification of the product once
a year independently for the product/process change.
Upon Saleri request, the Supplier shall submit the documentation
according to the PPAP rules described in comma 2.3.4.1.2.

2.4 Requirements for the serial production

Once released, the serial process has to be capable of guarantee stability and
conformance of the products.
It is therefore essential that the Supplier follows the rules defined in this paragraph.

2.4.1 Process changes management

The Supplier must keep unchanged the conditions in which the process was
released and approved (PPAP).
If for some reasons the Supplier shall modify the process, a written request has
to be submitted to Saleri.
Before changing the process, the Supplier shall wait for Saleri approval.
The Supplier therefore shall act as follows:
- to inform Saleri of each process modification to be introduced
(production site, materials, production cycle, tooling, sub-suppliers
etc…)
- to develop a plan for the introduction of the process change by
following the PPAP rules indicated in section 2.3;
 IST.08.003-ENG
QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS FOR Rel. 01
PURCHASED PARTS Date 31/01/2018
Pag. 16 of 29

- to submit a sampling out of the new process and wait Saleri approval
before introducing the modification in series.
The supplier is prohibited from introducing process changes without the
approval of Saleri.
In case the Supplier will modify the process without Saleri approval, then Saleri
will act as follows:
- debit to the supplier all relevant costs coming from this action;
- inform the Supplier certification body.

2.4.2 Derogations
If during the controls a non-conformance shall be identified, the Supplier shall
ask Saleri for a derogation to deliver the parts.
Before delivering the parts, the Supplier shall wait for a written approval of the
derogation by Saleri.
In case the Supplier shall not follow this procedure, all the relevant costs will be
charged to the Supplier.

2.4.3 Identification and traceability

The Supplier must define the size and characteristics of its production batch
and define the necessary identification able to:
- define the raw materials and the half-processed throughout the whole
process;
- define the status of the half-processed material depending on the
status;
- define the conforming and the non conforming material;
- manage the FIFO (First In First Out) approach.
The Supplier must guarantee the traceability of its products; in other hands, it
is necessary to link all the relevant information to the production batch or the
DMC when required.
The traceability is necessary to track down non conforming parts in the
eventuality of a recall campaign.

2.4.4 Special characteristics management

Special characteristics are by definition features the Saleri defines as
important/critic for the functionality/legal respect of the product based on
experience and competence.
Moreover, these characteristics can be the result of the application of the
DFMEA and/or PFMEA.
The Supplier has to know the meaning of the Saleri symbology.
The respect of such characteristics is an indispensable requirement.

With referenc to the special characteristics (report and critic), the processes
have to guarantee the respect the required values of the indexes Cm/Cmk,
Pp/Ppk e Cp/Cpk.

Unless special customer specific requirements are defined, Saleri requires the
following:

- Cm ≥ 2 e Cmk ≥ 1,67 (50 pezzi consecutivi – secondo VDA4)

- Pp ≥ 1,67 e Ppk ≥ 1,67
- Cp ≥ 1,67 e Cpk ≥ 1,33

If the Supplier cannot guarantee such values for the special characteristics, it
is mandatory to apply an alternative control method (100% control, poka-yoke
etc…) to guarantee the conformity of the products delivered to Saleri.

2.4.6 Sub-suppliers management

The Supplier must ensure the sub-supplier management and guarantee that
the quality standards are met throughout the project life.

after authorization can be implemented under the PPAP rules.
In any case, if necessary, Saleri reseves the right to visit and audit the sub-
supplier in presence of the Tier 2 Supplier.

2.4.7 Non conformances management

It is common interest of Saleri and the Supplier to identify possible non-
conformances in the shot time possibile to protect the final customer.
When a non-conformance will be detected (during incoming inspection or
during production steps), the material will be segregated and a non-
conformance report (RNC) will be issued (MOD.10.002).
The Supplier has to answer within 1 working day to the following:
- information regarding the traceability of the NC parts;
- containment actions on the suspect material still at the Supplier plant
(3D report)
within 5 working days (a delay can be granted upon request):
- root cause analysis
- corrective actions to be implemented (5D report)
within 15 working days (a delay can be granted upon request):
- closing of the non-conformance.

All the information related to the root cause analysis, corrective actions and
effectiveness verification must be collected in an 8D report (Supplier form or
Saleri form).
The Supplier must keep in an appropriate way the returned components for 3
months unless a different agreement is specified between the parts.
 IST.08.003-ENG
QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS FOR Rel. 01
PURCHASED PARTS Date 31/01/2018
Pag. 19 of 29

When a non-conformance is detected by Saleri, the following actions can be

put in place:
- rework of the non conforming parts at Supplier expenses and in any
case after Supplier authorization (unless the urgency of the action
cannot wait for such process);
- sorting of the parts with Saleri or external company people at Supplier
expenses after Supplier authorization (unless the urgency of the action
cannot wait for such process);
- sorting of the parts internally at the Supplier plants;
- sorting of the parts in Saleri plants by means of Supplier people trained
to conduct such operations;
- recording of the activity;
- substitution of the non conforming parts or the whole batch;
- reject the whole batch.

In case the suspect parts are obtained from parts given by Saleri to the Supplier
for manufacturing purpose, it would be possible not to pay the work made by
the Supplier on the non-conforming parts even in case the parts might have
source defects.

In case the non-conformances shall arrive to the final customer, it will be Saleri
right to debit the Supplier for the costs incurred.

In case the non-conformances are severe or repetitive, Saleri might open a

CSL procedure (Controlled Shipping Level) with the following levels:
- CSL1
- CSL2
- Enhanched CSL2 (or CLS3)
Rules of such processes are described in the instruction IST.08.001-ENG.

2.4.8 Escalation management

When the Supplier demonstates a poor level of quality, communication
difficulties, poor cooperation and transparency, late deliveries, Saleri might
open an escalation procedure.
The escalation levels defined are four (4):
- Escalation Level 0
- Escalation Level 1
- Escalation Level 2
- Escalation Level 3
as defined in document MOD.08.001-ENG.

If the first Saleri analysis should find that the failure is due to the purchased part, the Supplier
shall carry out all the necessary analyses to establish the root cause of the failure and the
necessary corrective actions to eliminate it (expecially in cases where the failure can arise
into a serial problem).
Moreover, the Supplier has to refund Saleri of the analyses costs and the debit received by
the final customer due to the infant failure (within warranty).
