g the criteria for exiting Early Production Containment (GP12), the supplier is responsible to have a quality system that continues to produce material over the long term that meets specifications. All suppliers are expected to measure their quality performance and work for continuous improvement on all parts. The process is to have the support and involvement of the suppliers39。 input variables, or binations of input variables, cause the undesirable output variable in the product.Suppliers should have a followup mechanism to insure items for improvement are implemented and verified. VERIFICATION OF A SUPPLIERS39。s continuous improvement efforts periodically. VERIFICATION FORMAT When the customer notifies the supplier that a verification meeting is to be conducted, the supplier will prepare his documentation showing improvement trends over time and explaining activities to support the continuous improvement effort.Further, the supplier will plete the Supplier Continuous Improvement Status Report (see attached sample and blank form). The purpose of the Supplier Continuous Improvement Status Report is to summarize, using a mon format, the current status of the suppliers39。s issued against the part number or family of parts. Any PR/R39。t reoccurred.a. Number issued.b. Number of initial responses ontime.c. Number of final responses ontime.13. Key Product Characteristics Summary:a. The total number of KPC39。s, those that are for attribute characteristics are to be entered in this column.c. When your control charts for attribute characteristics (p, c, np, u charts) show a value grater than (0) zero, enter the total of these characteristics in this column.d. Variable characteristics that have a Ppk value less than are to be counted in this column.e. Variable characteristics that have a Ppk value greater than or equal to and less than are to be counted in this column.f. Variable characteristics that have a Ppk value greater than or equal to are to be counted in this column.g. Variable characteristics that have a Ppk value greater than or equal to are to be counted in this column.CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT GP813. First Time Quality is the percent of parts which enter the process that are produced without scrap, reoperation or rework.N = number of parts st
