Guidelines
TEN Document n° P06_35_7.2 Revision: 7a Revision date: 23/06/2017 Purchasing
Purpose :
The Supplier APQP tracker Template summarizes the component status and provides an assessment at a Milestone level.
Suppliers should provide APQP status reports for a new product to meet the program quality, cost, performance and timing
objectives. Similar components can be reported as a group if agreed by the Tenneco Application buyer and/or SDE/SQE
assigned.
All Suppliers will use this form for Program tracking in alignment with the TITAN c-folders. The APQP Tracker
Template should be uploaded into the TITAN C-folder by the Supplier. This APQP Tracking Sheet can be found in the
Supplier Quality Manual.
Supplier Kick-Off
The Kick-Off Phase starts after the supplier has been awarded the business. Tenneco and the Supplier define
Phase 1 the Key Milestones, Project Timing and establish the deliverables and expectations from the supplier for the
component and program. In the event "Design Validation Plan (DVP)" is submitted by the supplier and
signature approved by Tenneco Engineering. The signed DVP must be uploaded into Titan.
Product/Process Development
Supplier completes designs for his tooling, assembly lines/cells, gauging required to manufacture the
Phase 2 component/material. The supplier shall collect data to assure that the manufactured items meet drawing,
specification and capacity requirements.This phase ends with the approval of the tooling, assembly equipment
and gauging at the supplier’s facility.
Pre-PPAP
In this phase the supplier is doing a serial production trial run using production tooling, assembly equipment
Phase 3 and gauging. The important activity during this phase is the first part inspection by the supplier, and
subsequent tuning of the process to produce components that conform to the drawings and specification.This
Phase ends with the completion of the PPAP production run.
This is the last phase of APQP. During this phase the supplier has to complete and submit a Production
Phase 4 Product Approval Process (PPAP) package to the Tenneco approval plant. By end of this Phase all additional
project Milestones need to be completed. The suppliers should have records to demonstrate the successful
completion of the APQP process (Lessons Learned).
Program - Timing
Program Need Date
The Program Need Dates for each Project Milestone needs to be established by the Supplier at the beginning of the
program. It shows the date by which the Milestone must be completed to support the whole project timing. These dates
can be modified with approval by Tenneco to ensure that any impact on the critical path of the program is understood and
controlled.
Definitions/Risk factors for "Green - Yellow - Red" are listed in the table below
Status - Definition
Risk Color Definition
Action register
Target dates and/or deliverables are at risk. A recovery plan is not
High RED available and/or implemented, or the plan does not achieve program
required
targets
Low Green Target dates and/or deliverables are on track and meet objectives
Program Need Date is the last possible date a Milestone needs to be completed without negative impact to quality or
timing of the program.
Additional Milestones need to be tracked and reported as requested by Tenneco. In doubt, please ask the Tenneco
Application buyer and/or the assigned SDE/SQE.
Frequency can be adjusted depending on direction from Applications Buyer and/or SDE/SQE request.
