Learning Objectives

Clear understanding of Safe Launch process and when to implement as a supplier


At the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the overall process of Safe Launch and when you are required

to utilize the Safe Launch process.

• The importance of a standardized method for Safe Launch.

• Guidelines for Safe Launch.

• How to use the Safe Launch process.

5

Why is Safe Launch Important?

Safe Launch will help ensure a flawless launch at SOP of new products


Polaris

• Critical parts have increased surveillance at SOP to prevent non-conforming

product from being shipped to Polaris.

• R@R and Pulse effectiveness is validated by monitoring the supplier’s

production capability for the first 90 days.

• Increased likelihood of detecting abnormal situations that can cause non-

conforming product or part defects

Supplier

• Suspect parts are contained within the supplier facility. This eliminates RMO’s

and the need for 3rd party sorting at Polaris.

• Production issues that did not manifest themselves during trial build or Pulse

quantities can be quickly identified and corrected during Safe Launch

The Quality Lifecycle Management process is a

process to ensure product quality assurance.

Critical Process Steps:

This will be your guide in the presentation to give you an understanding of the Safe

Launch topic and its benefits to you.

Process Usage:

Determine applicable

suppliers based off criteria

Determine dimensions and

inspection frequency for

each part

Review supplier Safe Launch

Control Plan in APQP

Supplier begins production build

ahead and records Safe Launch data

Monitor on a predetermined

frequency

Exit Safe Launch process once

supplier has met the applicable requirements

Process Definition

The Polaris Supplier Quality representative will inform the supplier if their part requires Safe Launch


• Supplier Quality or Plant Quality determine whether supplier part or incident

meets Safe Launch criteria

• This includes international Supplier Quality if support is needed with international suppliers

• Safe Launch criteria is referenced on Safe Launch Procedures and Criteria OPS-PROC-0115

• Supplier is notified by Supplier Quality

Inspection Sheet is filled out for each shipment during Safe Launch process


• Supplier Project Lead fills out first portion of Inspection Sheet for review during

APQP process 3.7 Safe Launch Control Plan

• Supplier Quality fills out the results once supplier has began production intent

manufacturing

• ‘Quantity No Good’ will automatically highlight red if there are any non-

conforming parts found

Data should be reviewed by both the supplier and PolarisPolaris CONFIDENTIAL

• Supplier Quality fills out Inspection Sheet, Visual Aids (if applicable) and SPC

data for all lots within the Safe Launch period

• Data should be reviewed by supplier for any non-conformances before shipping

parts and sending data to Polaris

• Data is retained by supplier for duration of Safe Launch plus 1 year

each part






frequency



• The data will be submitted for Polaris to review on a predetermined frequency

• Group 1 part data should be signed off by Polaris SQE and Engineering to acknowledge it has been reviewed. Group 2 parts only need SQE signatures. The supplier does not need signed off data from Polaris to ship.

• The frequency of data submittal will be based off multiple factors

• Refer to the Safe Launch Implementation Guideline on the Instructions tab

• Provide feedback based off measurement results and SPC data

• Record any non-conformances on Action Register

13

Training Content

Sufficient evidence or justification must be provided to discontinue Safe Launch


• The supplier may discontinue Safe Launch once the exit criteria has been achieved and all corrective actions have been approved

• In special cases a supplier may discontinue Safe Launch for reason other than the exit criteria. Below are some examples:

• Paint supplier may have a target First Pass Yield rate instead of zero non conformances

• A supplier may not be capable of holding the print tolerance and submits a Design Change Request or Process Change Request

• A supplier has reviewed and received pre approval from Supplier Quality

• A supplier has effectively implemented Mistake-Proofing that has been approved by Supplier Quality

• The supplier should reflect any necessary changes to their Control Plan and PFMEA based of Safe Launch results

• Identify KPC’s, key dimensions that impact functionand assembly

• Identify any new equipment, process, technology orprocess changes

• Refer to the Instructions page of the TEX doc for common Safe Launch items

Demo / Example


Confirm sheet is filled out correctly and has all necessary items22

• The supplier’s project lead should then fill out the Safe Launch inspection sheet and SPC page for review by Polaris Supplier Quality at section 3.7 Safe Launch Control Plan in APQP

• Polaris Supplier Quality reviews the submission to ensure all agreed upon items are listed on the sheet

Demo / Example


Review data for any non-conformances or concerns23

• The supplier’s quality department fills out the remaining cells once production has started

• Polaris Supplier Quality reviews the data for any non-conformances

Contact Justin Smoker for additional questions or comments25

Q- Why do we need to use a standard method for Safe Launch?

A- To ensure data is thoroughly monitored and all the necessary steps are taken to ensure a flawless launch.

Q- What are common Safe Launch pitfalls?

A- No corrective action is taken when non-conformances are found. The action register sheet should be completed if the supplier is unable to meet their FPY target.

Q- How often should data be submitted?

A- This is up to the Polaris Supplier Quality engineers discretion based off the part. The instruction sheet provides a guideline which can be followed if it is not clear.

Q- What should be done once Safe Launch is discontinued?

A- The supplier should update their Control Plan and PFMEA based off the results from Safe Launch.
