1. General
1.1. Scope
This global Proactive Containment procedure, defined as GSQN-004, is an integral part of the
Supplier Quality Requirements to protect Stellantis from receiving the delivery of non- conforming

on November 16, 2023 06:57 PM (UTC+1) - useri

parts.
The Proactive Containment procedure is applied equally to all suppliers and affiliated organizations
T8264CR
who supply products to the Customer (Stellantis group of companies, its affiliates and its Joint
Ventures).

In addition, it applies to parts that meet any, but not limited to the following criteria:
 New, modified, carryover, and MOPAR parts for new programs (including “Top Hat” and
“Face-lift” programs)
 Undergoing a post-launch engineering change
 Undergoing a process change
 Undergoing a resource
[email protected]
 Supplied from a process re-started after a duration of 90 days or more, or otherwise specified
by SQD

For any new part development or change in the product or the process as described above, the
Proactive Containment is associated to the Pre-Launch Control Plan which is not a replacement for the
Production Control Plan, but rather a higher-level document that acts as a temporary supplier's
Production Control Plan which contributes to increasing the level of confidence that all dispatched
products will fulfill quality expectations. It is also used to validate and approve the Production Control
Plan. Refer to the Stellantis APQP grid – Stellantis (Document 01276_22_00038).

The Tier 1 Supplier is responsible for ensuring that the Proactive Containment Process plan is in place for all
sub-tier supplier components.

NOTE: Stellantis may request this Proactive Containment Standard be initiated at any time, as
required. The Proactive Containment Standard does not take the place of 3CPR (3rd Party
Containment and Problem Resolution) but may be added as an additional level of control over
those processes, in those cases where the Proactive containment failed to protect Stellantis, 3CPR
L2 may be requested by Stellantis.

1.2. Purpose and Coverage

The purpose of the Proactive Containment Procedure is to:

 Protect all Stellantis facilities and end customers from quality spills and issues during critical
phases of a program
 Ensure that potential quality spills, which could arise and affect Stellantis facilities are
identified, contained, and corrected at the Supplier's manufacturing plant before shipment
 Confirm the designed component dunnage, shipping method and dunnage labeling meets all
Stellantis facility requirements (as shipped to Stellantis facility)
 Validate that the supplier’s Production Control Plan, based on key characteristics, will
ensure the protection of our assembly and manufacturing plants and service part warehouses
from quality non-conformances during critical periods including Launch

4
  Identify and address any underlying or fundamental issues that contribute to a technical
and/or systemic problem. Full analysis of both the technical and systemic root causes of
failure(s) found at the supplier must be reviewed with the Stellantis SQE on a regular basis.

It documents the supplier's efforts to verify control of its processes to ensure that any quality
issues that may arise are quickly identified, contained, and corrected at the supplier's location
on November 16, 2023 06:57 PM (UTC+1) - useri
which ensures the involvement and visibility of supplier’s top management.

3.1. Procedure Description

3.1.1.No
on vember 16, 2023 06:57 PM (UTC+1) - useri
Application
T8264CR
The Proactive Containment procedure consists of controls, inspections, etc. that are over and above
the standard production controls in the Supplier’s Control Plan. It should include, at a minimum, all
the following characteristic types: Regulatory (including Safety, Emissions, Homologation, and
Report), Functional, Important, and Regional “Special” characteristics.

Please note that Stellantis may, at its discretion, add other characteristics as well.

3.1.2. Format [email protected]

The Proactive Containment procedure should be included as part of the Supplier’s pre-launch and
production Control Plans. It consists of two types of controls:

 “Reinforced" or more stringent versions of existing controls.

 “Supplementary” or additional controls that will be done during the Proactive Containment
period only with entry date, exit criteria, and exit date as defined by the customer

If the Reinforced controls will be done in-station, they should be included on the Control Plan in a row
below the existing control. For example: see Reinforced controls in blue text for Proactive
Containment (PC).

 Increased verification of error proofing functions using test parts
 Increased involvement/presence of top management

The establishment of in process containment stations for additional checks/audits or off-line

independent checks from the normal manufacturing process may be utilized but should be clearly
[email protected]
identified and documented as Proactive Containment Inspection Areas and be approved by the
customer. Final product inspection containment station(s) should be located at the end of the
manufacturing process after product packaging, clearly identified as Proactive Containment Areas and
approved by the customer.

If agreed to by Stellantis, the Supplier may include the Proactive Containment process Reinforced and
Supplementary controls on a separate Control Plan document, with its own unique reference number.
In these cases, each control must clearly reference back to the appropriate row on the production
Control Plan or be clearly identified as a Supplementary control. In addition, the primary Control Plan
should have the following sentence included: “This document does not include the Stellantis Proactive
Containment process with the Proactive Containment document number referenced.

3.2. Process Steps

3.2.1. Process Documentation Preparation
The Proactive Containment process is developed during the Advanced Product Quality Planning
(APQP) meetings and should include all Regulatory, Functional, Important, and Special characteristics
(at a minimum). Stellantis may include additional characteristics, at its discretion. These additional
inspections, testing, and dimensional checks required at the Proactive Containment areas should be
based on Product critical measurement points, high Action Priority ratings and/or issues identified
during product and process development. Inputs to the Proactive Containment process should include:

 Additional Quality Requirements (AQR)

 Part Inspection Standards
 List of defined key critical characteristics
 Design and Process FMEAs

The use of automatic data collection and measurement systems, functional testing and any error
proofing should be identified where possible.

Parts shipped prior to Start of Production (SOP) should be inspected/checked 100%. For later builds
and production, characteristics should be checked at a sample size and frequency defined on the
Proactive Containment process Control Plan, based upon production rates and

9
as agreed to by the SQE. The Proactive Containment process should be reviewed and approved by
the SQE prior to implementation.

3.2.2. Process Supplier Implementation

2023 06:57 PM (UTC+1) - useri

As part of the Proactive Containment process development, Supplier should identify the following:
on No vember 16,
•T8264CR
A single individual from their plant management team to take the responsibilities to update,
maintain, and ensure implementation of the Proactive Containment process
• Defined offline Proactive Containment inspection stations for reinforced controls not performed
on the production line and for supplemental controls, which should include (as applicable):
o Adequate lighting necessary to properly inspect the parts
o Approved boundary samples
[email protected]
o Inspection instructions with training records on file
o Appropriate reaction plans for any identified defect or nonconformance
 Large assemblies are required to have multiple functional stations focused on individual portions
of the proactive containment.

Basic Requirements

1. Tally Sheets and full analysis of failures

2. PDCA
3. Proactive containment area layout
a. Lighting
b. Work instructions, boundary samples
c. Large assy broken into multiple functional areas focused on individual processes
d. Each part identified as proactive containment complete, i.e., water soluble marker
e. Each feature marked as complete, i.e., water soluble marker
4. Complete management involvement with a well-defined escalation process
a. First incident: Team leader escalates to plant leadership including photo, issue
description, quality alert & documentation of issue
b. Repeat incident: Stop the line – Notify plant leadership, supplier engineering and
Stellantis SQE
c. Recurring meetings with supplier corporate level participation to review proactive
containment data, confirmation of systemic root cause established, including Pareto
analysis and corrective action completed in timely fashion, review with SQE
d. If suppliers are missing corrective action target completion dates, it must be escalated to
Stellantis SQE management
e. Verification of specialized proactive containment equipment being used, e.g., weld,
lighting, etc.
f. Audit of suppliers using proactive containment checklist
g. All processes followed through with Tier N suppliers

5. Supplier confirmation that the Proactive Containment process will be duplicated for each
additional shift, as shifts are added to the production schedule, until full capacity is reached.
This is to ensure that 2nd and 3rd shift teams are executing the same Proactive Containment
process plan as they come on board. All required training of team members should be
documented and kept on file. Supplier should ensure the Proactive Containment process plans
are posted out on the plant floor. The SQE should validate

10
 that the Proactive Containment process is fully documented and posted out on the plant floor.
The Proactive Containment process plan should be summarized by the supplier and inputted
into the PowerPoint Dashboard submission to the Stellantis program manager.

Implementation
T8264CR
Implementation of Proactive Containment activities through the Supply Chain (Tier 2 and lower)
should be:

• Proactive Containment activities at sub-tier suppliers should be the same duration as the Tier 1
supplier
• All Tier 1 Supplier’s Proactive Containment activities should be covered under the sub- tier
suppliers’ Proactive Containment as required
• [email protected]
Ensure sub-suppliers implement a First Piece Shipment Certification (FPSC) equivalent
Proactive Containment Launch plan that includes an increased frequency of inspection, part
retention, and continuing conformance testing
• Ensure the critical sub-suppliers include a 100% offline visual inspection for pre-
production phases and at least the first 90 days of production
• Ensure packaging and labeling is correct

The Tier 1 Supplier is responsible to ensure that the Proactive Containment Process plan is in place
for all sub-tier supplier components. The Proactive Containment process at sub-tier supplier locations
must include all special characteristics (both those identified by Stellantis and internally by the Tier
1). Proactive Containment process at sub-tier suppliers should follow all the requirements listed here
within, at a minimum. Stellantis at its discretion may request Tier 1 sub-tier supplier information as
required.

3.2.4. Documentation and Results Analysis

Documentation and analysis of Proactive Containment process results must include:

• Format and analysis of the results, which should match the requirements for the type of
characteristics being checked (variable data, SPC, etc. as appropriate)
• Reaction plans for out-of-control characteristics should be maintained by the supplier,
accessible to STELLANTIS as requested and should follow STELLANTIS’s standard issue
tracking document; GSQN-004a
• Supplier’s retention of data must follow STELLANTIS requirements identified within
Quality Requirements for Suppliers (QRS); Docinfo 01272_22_00061 or BeSTandard PRO-
00109
• The supplier must use the Proactive Containment Checklist to evaluate the robustness of the
proactive containment process (Ref. GSQN-004B).
• Full data analysis of the issue root cause and systemic root cause:
o Required Charts : (ref. GSQN-004B) Proactive Containment Checklist)

3.2.5. Parts Identification

Identification of Proactive Containment parts should include:
The customer’s requirements to identify Proactive Containment parts and ability to be cross- referenced
with the applicable results
 Identification marks should be legible, on non-visible & nonfunctional surfaces, and not easily
removed
 STELLANTIS SQE and Engineer should approve the method of identification prior to
implementation
 Supplier should also comply to any specific customer plant requirements or requests
 If possible, the mark should be visible when assembled

3.2.6. End Customer Received Material

14
At the end customer’s facility, if received material is found to have the following issues or any related
shipping issues:

 Component damage from inadequate packaging protection

 Damaged dunnage from material handling, equipment, etc.
 Incorrect shipping label/location per end customer’s specification
on November 16, 2023 06:57 PM (UTC+1) - useri
The SQE will communicate and work together with the supplier to track any issues found and
T8264CR
determine all corrective actions necessary. The supplier will be issued a 3CPR- L1 and L2 as
determined by end customer and SQE causing them to follow all the 3CPR process requirements.

3.3. Duration of Proactive Containment

3.3.1. [email protected]
New Programs
At a minimum, Proactive Containment process should begin with the first shipment of part
requirements from off tool parts and prior to Start of Production (SOP) and ends no earlier than the
date of Start of Production (SOP) + 90 days.

3.3.2. Changes in mass production

For post-launch engineering changes affecting the part and process, the Proactive Containment
process should begin with the first shipment and remain in place for a period of a minimum of 90
days, or otherwise agreed upon by the SQE. If any non-conformance is
received during the proactive containment the 90 day clock resets to zero.

3.3.3. Shutdown

For restart after excessive shutdowns (5 wks or more), The Proactive Containment process should
begin with the first shipment and remain in place as per agreed time or number of parts and end no
earlier than 15 days of production without any incident.

3.4. Exit Criteria of Proactive Containment

The Proactive Containment Process Exit Criteria per component characteristic should be clearly
defined during the process preparation phase. The criteria should be agreed to by the Stellantis APQP
Team prior to implementation and the Supplier should review all exit criteria results with the Stellantis
SQE to confirm that the criteria have been 100% achieved. To decrease any characteristic inspection
frequency, the Supplier should review achievement of Exit criteria with Stellantis SQE in advance of
any decreased inspection frequency. Reference Annex-001

3.5. Handling of Defects and Nonconformances Management

When a defect or nonconformance is found during the Proactive Containment process period (either at
the Supplier Plant or End Customer Facility), after appropriate corrective actions are implemented, the
Proactive Containment process should continue for an additional 90 days (at a minimum). If the defect
was detected at the Stellantis (End Customer) plant, Stellantis (End

15
Customer) will impose, at its discretion the appropriate Third-Party Containment and Problem
Resolution actions as required (3CPR).

3.6. Special Requirements for Rework / Repair / Salvage Operations

During the Proactive Containment process period, rework/repair is not allowed unless agreed to (in
on November 16, 2023 06:57 PM (UTC+1) - useri
writing) by the Stellantis SQE and Engineer. Otherwise, nonconforming parts should be scrapped.
T8264CR
Rework operations should meet all requirements in the PPAP for rework parts, including a completed
PFMEA and controls on the line that meet or exceed those on the regular production line. The
Stellantis SQE should review rework operations as part of the Process Audit (PPQ).

Shipments of parts with reworked components during the Proactive Containment process period
require written notification to receiving plant, including Stellantis Production Control, receiving Plant
Supplier Quality, and SQE prior to shipment. Reworked parts must be traceable as rework and
identified in accordance with the receiving plant’s instructions.
[email protected]
3.7. Additional Proactive Containment Activities / Requirements

Each of the following Proactive Containment activities may be required at the discretion of the
Stellantis SQE, over and above the standard Proactive Containment process.

3.7.1. Extended Part Retention

The Supplier should retain part build samples for problem solving during the pre-production phases
and first 90 days of production. When feasible, part samples should be scrapped at the end of the
retention period.

If part samples will not be scrapped but re-introduced into production (requiring Stellantis SQE
approval), the Supplier should:

 Ensure that obsolete engineering levels are not re-introduced into the supply chain unless
proper engineering approvals have been given
 Identify the method and criteria for acceptance of the parts, with approval by the
Stellantis SQE and Engineer
 Identify re-introduced material when shipped to the Stellantis-designated facility
 Add an additional 100% visual inspection of the material. This should be an ongoing,
continuous activity, throughout the production run

Each part retention plan should include:

 frequency
 retention period
 retention duration
 retained part disposition plan

3.7.2. Photographic Documentation

The Supplier should collect photographic evidence or parts, at a frequency agreed to by the Stellantis
SQE. Automated or manual cameras should be used to photograph outgoing finished goods to record
the state / condition as shipped. Photos are considered quality records and should be retained by the
Supplier. Photos are used for root cause analysis for external characteristics: Presence of external parts,
correct routing of hoses, tubes, wiring, appearance,

16
basic confirmation of connections, etc. Camera locations and zoom settings should be optimized based
on product failure mode analysis and action priority matrix. The requirement to be maintained from
first part shipped to 90 days past Start of Production (SOP). Supplier should obtain approval from end
customer SQE when these records can be disposed (at minimum of 1 year after start of production).

3.7.3. Teardown Inspections

on November 16, 2023 06:57 PM (UTC+1) - useri
The Supplier should perform a disassembly (teardown) inspection of final assemblies on an on-going
T8264CR
basis within the Proactive Containment period. The Supplier should teardown and inspect completed
assemblies for the following, plus any other characteristics determined by the Stellantis APQP team:

 Missing components
 Residual torque
 Scratches, visible contamination, or other non-conformances
[email protected]
The teardown inspection should be added to control plan, with the frequency approved by the
Stellantis APQP Team. In addition, the Supplier should:

 Record inspection results

 Use random selection for parts
 Teardown inspection should be performed by qualified / trained personnel
 Only re-use components resulting from teardown inspection if they go through the
approved rework process. Note that some components may not be re-used such as
gaskets, seals, stretched fasteners, etc.

3.8. Partial LIFO Logistics Strategy for Extended Supply

For extended supply chain scenarios, the Supplier should implement a minimum 10% LIFO (last-in-
first-out) delivery logistic process. This is to accelerate identification of defects. A minimum of
batch or lot traceability is required when implementing this step.

Example: When supplier is shipping from an offshore to an onshore warehouse location. Supplier
shall perform a minimum 10% LIFO for duration of the Proactive Containment process.
