Feared Customer Event potential safety or an unwanted System Event to identify all possible root causes and combination of causes leading to
these events.
 All Feared Customer Events identified by Renault Group in relation with the supplier’s part must be taken into account.
 Renault Group shall inform the supplier of the severity level for the event to be analyzed (ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level on ISO 26262)
or grade quotation, FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) severity etc.)
 The Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) document shall include:

 Details of the top event or ultimate failure effect that was analysed.
 A list of the factors (e.g. usages conditions, system limits, intersystem, implantation, specific climate constraint or environment, process impact
etc.) and assumptions used in analysis.
 A graphical representation (the fault tree) of all possible causes of the top event including both single failure and combination of failure
 List of single failure leading to the top event and list of critical components
 All possible root causes related to early failure, systematic failure, random failure, process failures and wears out failure, and identified
common modes.
 ASIL decomposition if relevant
 Recommendations for any countermeasures to be included in the product design or in process based on the results of the FTA analysis
 The supplier shall take into account the specific requirements of each sales country for vehicle regulations, and the feared customer events when
conducting this analysis.
 The FTA has to be linked with the FMEA study.
 Unless otherwise specific request from Renault Group, the supplier shall use his own document

Part Number Details (PND)
Key Point(s):
⚫ To prevent listing each part number on every RGPQP document, its possible to combine similar parts into a ‘family group’ if they have the same
manufacturing process/line (e.g. the same part type in different colours, RH/LH specification, etc). Then, all subsequent RGPQP documents can simply
refer to this part family group (usually 1st 5 digits of the part number)
⚫ This needs mutual agreement with Renault Group
⚫ The Part Number Details sheet is used to:
➢ List all parts supplied by a specified supplier for a specified project
➢ Specify all part numbers within a family group
➢ Check a document has been submitted for each part number
➢ Cross check the suppliers understanding of project parts content with Renault Group Bill of Materials
➢ Cross check sample parts orders for trials
➢ Identify parts not manufactured at the despatch address
⚫ Any part requested by Renault Group must be specified in this document. This supports PCP submission & subsequent capacity data input into RG-DCP
system.

⚫ Complete the Part Number Details sheet as necessary
⚫ Its helpful to attach it to the other relevant RGPQP document submissions for cross check (e.g. Control Plan, PSW, FMEA, etc.).
