ducted on both of continuous data (Refer to Form-4.8-a) and discrete data (OK/Not OK, ON/OFF) (Refer to
Form-4.8-c).
Ashimori
Industry Co., Ltd.
The parts subject to the MSA must have critical or special characteristics, and other parts may be omitted
with our agreement.
For the same system (same measurement device, same measurer), the analysis shall be conducted on the
smallest standard dimension.
For calculation method of %GRR for continuous data, there are methods of using total variation for denom-
inator called “Total variation method” and using 1/6 of tolerance for denominator called “Tolerance method”.
The Total variation method shall be used for process control measurement system and the Tolerance method
for inspection measurement system. The parts to be used for %GRR calculation shall be representative parts
of variation in process (upper/lower limit part).
For discrete data measurement system analysis, at least 3 pieces of NG parts shall be included in 25 pieces
of measurement parts. The NG parts shall not be clearly deviated parts but barely deviated parts.
The measurement systems capable of repetitive measurement are nondestructive and reproducible meas-
urements such as dimension measurement, excluding strength requirement, destructive test torque meas-
urement, assembly load and pull-out load etc.
② Judgment Criteria
a) Continuous data
・%GRR＝Under 10% and ndc = min.5: OK
・%GRR＝10%～30% and ndc = min.5: Provisionally OK (Justification for OK result of the measurement system
is required)
・%GRR＝Over 30%: NG (Measurement system needs modification)
b) Discrete data
・Measurement part quantity: 25 pcs, Measurer: 2 people,
Number of measurement: Validity (number of OK) shall be 100% in twice of measurement for each.
9) Dimensional Results
All dimensional characteristics on drawing are applicable. The measurement sample quantity shall be 3 pcs for each
production process. (Refer to Form-4.9-a or 4.9-b)
For a part to be purchased in ASSY condition (e.g. Housing ASSY), the measurement shall be conducted on both
single component part (Housing, Guide bar etc.: Use Form-4.9-a) and ASSY (Use Form-4.9-b).
Measurement accuracy shall be 1/10 or less of tolerance specified on drawing.
10) Material Test/ Performance Test Results
10)-1 Material Test
In cases where chemical, physical or metallurgical requirements are specified in design document or the Control
Plan, the test shall be conducted on all parts and materials. The judgment criteria shall be defined (Refer to Form-
4.10-a). Material certificate shall be submitted regardless of the necessity of material test. The supplier shall con-
firm that the material described in the material certificate is same as the material instructed in the drawing.
10)-2 Performance Test
In cases where performance or functional requirements are specified in design document or the Control Plan, the
test shall be conducted on all parts and materials. The judgment criteria shall be defined (Refer to Form-4.10-b).

Inspection items may be specified by Ashimori.
In a case where the inspection items are indiscrete values, the pass or fail evaluation criteria shall be determined
by concerning measurement variability (refer to Note) corresponding to values indicated in drawings.
Note)
In case of conducting Gauge R&R: The pass and fail evaluation criteria shall be the value subtracted one-half
of %GRR result from the upper and lower limits tolerance specified in drawings.
In case of not conducting Gauge R&R: The pass and fail evaluation criteria shall be the value subtracted the mini-

Implementation of internal audit as per ISO9001or IATF16949 may be substituted for this.
When requested by Ashimori, please carry out self-audit by using the check sheet specified by Ashimori.
For failure reoccurrence prevention purpose or when contents of horizontal deployment have to be confirmed,
self-audit shall be implemented as needed.
The self-audit shall be also implemented at the event of process change such as production facilities change,
plant transfer or layout change.
In a case where the supplier is certified according to international standard or domestic standard regarding quality
management system, this shall be used as a part of audit standard. If Ashimori requests to present supplier’s quality
manual or equivalent documents in advance, the supplier shall promptly respond.
Further, in the audit, if Ashimori requests to present quoting source documents/records for quality manual or for
equivalent documents and quoting source documents/records for part production planning documents (the QC
Process Chart or the Control Plan), in order to confirm conformity to part requirements and the audit standard, the
supplier shall promptly respond.
①Notification of implementation
For audit to be conducted by Ashimori, Quality Assurance Dept. or Purchase and Supplies Dept. Purchasing
Quality Control Unit shall notify the person responsible for quality assurance at the supplier of the audit imple-
mentation in advance.
②Audit on quality assurance system
In accordance with quality assurance system documents at the supplier or sub-suppliers, adequacy of the con-
trol system shall be audited. As it is the basis of quality assurance from materials/parts receiving from sub-
suppliers to delivery to Ashimori.
③Audit on process
In accordance with drawings, specifications, inspection standard and the QC Process Chart, status of quality
control in production process of the applicable parts shall be audited.
④Special audit
For important items in customer’s or Ashimori’s process and at frequent occurrence of failure, the supplier shall
audit the quality control status according to the improvement report from tier-2 and subsequent suppliers.
2.20.4 Procedure in Accordance with the Audit Result

The supplier or tier-2 and subsequent suppliers shall draw up improvement plan and carry out the improvement
for the items pointed out at self-audit. Ashimori may request to report the outcome of the self-audit as necessary.
