3 Goals & Scope“We need Suppliers who are capable of providing best-in-class quality and services.” Before
presenting the following guidelines, we want to provide the general principles that drive thisprogram to make sure that each Supplier’s decision to participate is made with a complete
knowledge of our objectives, of the procedure used, and what is expected of all Suppliercompanies.

Goal
The purpose of this manual is to provide BorgWarner Suppliers and BorgWarner Employees
guidance as to our Commercial, Quality, Delivery, Technology, and Business expectations.
The demand for improved product quality is widely recognized as the primary challenge
facing our industry. BorgWarner has historically been committed to producing the highest
quality product possible. Our policy is to meet and strive to exceed Customer requirementswith the standard of measurement being zero defects.
This manual details the procedures and systems of this quality approach, the basis of which
is defect prevention and continuous improvement. BorgWarner is committed to thisapproach, and we expect the same commitment from our Suppliers. It is important that
BorgWarner’s supply base develops our same enthusiasm for excellence and displays thewillingness to work toward the common goals outlined in this manual. With this in mind,
BorgWarner has created this common Supplier Manual applicable for all BorgWarner
locations supporting the following points:•

Communicate to the Supplier BorgWarner’s expectations, goals, and minimum
requirements to assure quality of supplied parts.

•

Encourage open and free communication of ideas, information, and notification ofproblems among Suppliers, BorgWarner, and its Customers in the spirit of teamwork
and cooperation.

•

Develop an overall plan to ensure smooth production start-up and ramp-up both at
BorgWarner and the Supplier, based on effective planning and communication.

•

Define the quality assurance procedures and documents Suppliers must follow toassure application of an effective quality system certified to ISO 9001, working toward
IATF 16949.

Scope
This Supplier Manual applies to all production material Suppliers and service part Suppliers
that supply product to the production facilities of BorgWarner. These procedures may be
applied to other parts, materials, and services (such as consumable tools and supplies,
indirect material, capital equipment, and non-production services). The applicability of theseprocedures to tools and supplies will be indicated on purchase orders.
Responsibilities•

All production material Suppliers and service part Suppliers must maintain acomprehensive Quality System to ensure compliance with the requirements of thecontract and this document. This manual explains BorgWarner’s minimum

BorgWarner Supplier Manual
expectations as well as the process BorgWarner follows to assess the capability andperformance of each Supplier. BorgWarner seeks Suppliers who have a minimum of
ISO 9001 and who will achieve IATF 16949 registration. BorgWarner expects
Suppliers also cascade this requirement to their subcontractors.
•

The organization shall pass down all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements
as well as special product and process characteristics to their Suppliers and require
the Suppliers to cascade all applicable requirements down to the supply chain to thepoint of manufacture.

•

BorgWarner also seeks Suppliers who have ISO 14001 or comparable registered
Environmental Management Systems.

•

All production material Suppliers and service part Suppliers must inform BorgWarner ifanother customer places that Supplier on a special status regarding quality and/or
delivery. Such a status could be controlled shipping, customer shutdown due to a
supply issue, or a field action.

4 Supplier Code of Conduct
The BorgWarner Beliefs serve as a guide for our employees on the way we conduct ourbusiness—with our customers, our employees, our Suppliers, and our communities. These
beliefs, which are deeply rooted in our culture, also serve as a framework for the standards ofbusiness conduct, we expect of any Supplier that does business with us. Further, thesecommitments are in accordance with the Supply Chain Due Diligence laws. Compliance withthese standards will be a mandatory component of our purchase contracts worldwide andmust also apply to subcontractors, in particular under the premise to protect human rights andprevent or minimize environment related risks at all times in our supply chain. It is also
expected that our Suppliers cascade similar expectations described in this Supplier Code of
Conduct to their own Suppliers. The Supplier’s shipping location is encouraged to complete
the AIAG Supply-Chain Sustainability eLearning. This training is free of charge and can beaccessed at the following link:
https://www.aiag.org/store/training/details?CourseCode=ELSCS

4.1 Inclusion. Respecting individuals
BorgWarner operates in a climate of respect, courtesy, and impartiality. The same fairness
and impartiality should be extended to all legitimate Suppliers who wish to compete for
BorgWarner business. We expect open, honest, and timely communication. BorgWarnerSuppliers should encourage a positive, diverse, and equitable workplace by not toleratingharassment or discrimination, including that involving national and ethnic origin, race, color,social origin, health status, sexual orientation, religion, gender, age, political opinion, or
disability.
Basic Working Conditions Guiding Principles
BorgWarner expects its Suppliers and Sub Suppliers to develop policies and practices for allof its facilities worldwide, to provide working conditions that are appropriate under applicablelaw and that support and uphold the BorgWarner Beliefs. We also expect suppliers toadhere to the International Labour Organizations’ (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental
Principles and Rights at Work and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights.
•Use of Child Labor is Prohibited
Prohibits Suppliers from employing any person below the age of 15 except as part of agovernment sponsored training or apprenticeship program.

•Forced Labor and Corporal Punishment is Prohibited
Prohibits Suppliers from using forced labor in any form and further prohibits physicallyabusive practices, including corporal punishment or the threat of corporal punishment.

organization of their own selection and their rights to collective bargaining, in
accordance with local laws. Workers must not be penalized or subjected toharassment or intimidation for exercising any legally protected right to join or not joinsuch legal organizations. Encourages open communication between management
and employees regarding working conditions without fear of retaliation, intimidation, or

Compensation
Expects that Suppliers’ employees will receive compensation and benefits that arecompetitive and consistent with applicable laws regarding minimum wages, overtime
hours, and legally mandated benefits. The compensation paid to Suppliers’ employees
should constitute at least a minimum of a fair and living wage.

•

Ethical Recruitment
It is our expectation that our Suppliers hire workers lawfully, in a fair and transparent
manner that respects human rights. Suppliers should not mislead or defraud potential
workers about the nature of the work, ask workers to pay recruitment fees, orconfiscate, destroy, conceal, or deny access to worker passports and othergovernment-issued identity documents. Workers should receive a written offer in alanguage well understood by the worker, stating in a truthful, clear manner their rights
and responsibilities.

•

Working Hours
Expects Suppliers to comply with applicable laws regulating hours of work.

•

Equal Employment
Expects Suppliers to have written policies promoting equal employment opportunities
and formal, independent practices for responding to any complaints.

•

Health and Safety
Expects Suppliers to promote safe and healthy work environments for all employees
in all types of workspaces and expects commitment to continually improving the same.
Suppliers should also provide proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) whenapplicable and have an emergency preparedness and response plan. Hazard and risk
analysis systems should be implemented to minimize the potential for incidents or
accidents. If Suppliers provide their workers with residential facilities, they must
provide clean and safe accommodations. Suppliers should also properly manage thehealth and safety of contractors as part of a company’s extended supply chain.

•

Use of Private or Public Security Forces
Suppliers must not commission or use private or public security forces to protect thebusiness if, due to a lack of training or control on the part of the company, thedeployment of the security forces may lead to violations of human rights.

•

Women’s Rights
Gender inequality underpins problems such as unequal opportunity in employment
and unequal pay for equal work. BorgWarner expects its Suppliers to provide equal
opportunity in employment and commit to equal pay for equal work.

4.2 Integrity. Honoring truth
We at BorgWarner demand uncompromising ethical standards in all we do and say—weexpect our Suppliers to do the same. Our policies prohibit the acceptance of gifts, services,or anything of such value that the good judgment of the recipient might be influenced, or that
Rev. Date: 2023/08/09

Page 10 of 70

BorgWarner Supplier Manuala third party might reasonably perceive as influencing that judgment. Payments of money,
property, or services for the purpose of obtaining business or special consideration areprohibited. If a BorgWarner employee solicits a gift or entertainment opportunity from a
Supplier for their personal use, the request is to be declined. We discourage our employees
from purchasing goods or services from BorgWarner Suppliers for their personal use, eventhough paid for by the employee.
•

BorgWarner recognizes that in some cultures, business gifts and businessentertainment are considered an important part of the development of business
relationships. Any gift or entertainment must be evaluated to ensure it is in the bestinterest of BorgWarner, consistent with BorgWarner policies and the law, and inaccordance with local custom.

•

No listing of ethical guidelines can be considered complete. It is incumbent upon thoseaffected by this policy to avoid the misconception that if it is legal, it is ethical.
Appropriate conduct must reflect good judgment, fairness, and high standards.

Anti-Bribery (US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and UK Anti-Bribery Act of 2010)
BorgWarner expects all Suppliers (direct material, indirect material, and services) to comply
with all laws and regulations applicable to its business, at all governmental levels worldwide.
The use of corporate funds, property, or other resources for any unlawful or improper
purpose is prohibited. Anti-corruption laws require that companies meet prescribedaccounting and internal control standards and impose severe penalties on both companies
and individuals for certain types of payments and practices. BorgWarner Employees and ourSuppliers may not give, promise, or authorize any payments, either directly or indirectly togovernment officials in any country.
Anti-Bribery Due Diligence
All Suppliers (direct material, indirect material, and service provider companies or individuals)
who will have contact with government officials on BorgWarner’s behalf are required tocomplete an Anti-Bribery Due Diligence Questionnaire (preferably prior to award ofbusiness). The questionnaire is available in the Supplier section of the BorgWarner, Inc. web
page (http://www.borgwarner.com/en/Suppliers/default.aspx) or in the GSM Suppliers Site
document section in ExtraICE.
Conflicts of Interest
Conflict of interest occurs when an individual or a corporation (either private or governmental)
is in a position to exploit his/her or their own professional or official capacity in some way for
personal or corporate benefit. BorgWarner expects Suppliers to ensure that their employees
avoid and disclose situations where there is any perceived or actual conflict of interests andthat decisions be based on solid business judgment unclouded by favoritism resulting frompersonal relations and opinions.
Anticorruption and Anti-money Laundering
BorgWarner does not tolerate bribery, corruption, or money laundering under any
circumstances. Bribery involves offering, giving, receiving, or requesting something of value
to improperly influence a business decision and can take many forms, including money, giftcards, travel, employment (including internships), entertainment, and charitable contributions.
Giving bribes to anyone, including government employees or officials, directly or through aRev. Date: 2023/08/09

third party, is prohibited. BorgWarner also prohibits facilitation payments, which are small
payments intended to expedite a non-discretionary, routine government process or service(such as obtaining a visa or clearing goods through customs). BorgWarner, its employees,
and Suppliers are subject to local anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and anti-money launderinglaws. If you suspect a bribe or other improper payment has been made, contact the
BorgWarner Compliance Office immediately.
Fair Competition and Anti-Trust
BorgWarner expects its Suppliers to uphold fair competition and anti-trust standards
including, but not limited to, avoiding business practices that unlawfully restrain competition;
improper exchange of competitive information; and price fixing, bid rigging, or impropermarket allocation. An effective compliance policy and strategy enables a company tominimize the risk of involvement in competition law infringements, and the costs resulting
from anti-competitive behavior.
Financial Responsibility (Accurate Records) & Disclosure of Information
BorgWarner expects that Suppliers perform their business dealings in a transparent mannerand accurately reflect them in the companies’ financial reports and filings. Financial
responsibility refers to a company's responsibility to accurately record, maintain, and reportbusiness documentation including, but not limited to, financial accounts, quality reports, time
records, expense reports, and submissions to customers or regulatory authorities, whenappropriate. Books and records are expected to be maintained in accordance with applicablelaw and generally accepted accounting principles. BorgWarner expects its Suppliers todisclose financial and non-financial information in accordance with applicable regulations andprevailing industry practices.

and rewarding all who invest in us. To extend our competitive position, we expect our
Suppliers to relentlessly improve their own performance and to bring urgency to every
business challenge and opportunity.
Data Protection and Data Security
BorgWarner expects its Suppliers to implement robust data privacy and security standards
that protect an individual’s personal data, regardless of whether they are employees,
customers, Suppliers, or job applicants. Suppliers should respect the privacy and civil
liberties in respect of the collection, retention, use or dissemination, as well as any otherprocessing of personal data.
Intellectual Property“Intellectual Property” includes inventions, patents, trade secrets, “know-how”, trademarks,logos, and copyrights. Suppliers should use commercially reasonable practices to avoid theunjustified transfer of confidential technology and know-how (e.g., copyright, trademark,design, patent) and must be diligent to identify, protect, and defend our Intellectual Property
as well as the Intellectual Property of our (OEM) customers and sub-Suppliers.

restricted individuals, companies, countries, or regions, and that the products do not
require an export license or other authorization.

BorgWarner Supplier Manual•

To reduce the risk to BorgWarner and to protect the Supplier through increased
detection•

To document Supplier efforts to gain control of its processes during start-up andlaunch so that any quality issues that may arise are quickly identified and corrected at
the Supplier’s location and not at the Customer’s manufacturing location•

To increase involvement and visibility of the Supplier’s top management.

EPC requires a documented launch or pre-launch control plan that is a significant
enhancement to the Supplier’s production control plan. This EPC Plan will raise theconfidence level to ensure that all products shipped will meet BorgWarner expectations. Thisis an extraordinary launch measure. The EPC Plan will also serve to validate the production
control plan. The EPC Plan should take into consideration all known critical conditions of thepart as well as potential areas of concern identified during the Production Part Approval
Process. EPC serves to connect the Pre-Launch Control Plan referred to in section 3.7 of the
Chrysler, Ford, & GM Advanced Product Quality Planning and Control Plan Reference
Manual.
During the APQP Kick-Off Meeting, a completed EPC Commitment Form (GSM- F018) will
be signed by the Supplier.
Supplier Responsibility
Establish a containment process that has the following elements:•

Identification of the person responsible for the containment process•

Development of an EPC Plan consisting of additional controls, inspection audits, andfactors in the production process (set-up, machinery, fixture, tooling, operator,
material/components, preventive maintenance, climate). Additional controls could
include:o Off-line, separate and independent check from the normal production process
o Increased frequency/sample size of receiving, process, and/or inspections
o Defined/coordinated sub-Supplier containment and/or sub-Suppliersupport/audits as requiredo Increased verification of label accuracyo Increased error proofing validationo Increased involvement and visibility by top management, including increased
Management Internal Audits
o Other items as specified by BorgWarner or the Suppliero Prompt implementation of containment and corrective action if
nonconformances are discovered.

•

Document the EPC Plan (including functional testing and error proofing, if applicable)using the Control Plan format referenced in the Advanced Product Quality Planningand Control Plan Reference Manual, respectively, as mentioned in IATF 16949
appendix A. The development and documentation of the EPC Plan is expected tooccur during the Advanced Product Quality Planning Process. The EPC Plan is not aRev. Date: 2023/08/09

Page 34 of 70

BorgWarner Supplier Manualsubstitute for the Production Control Plan but is over and above the Production
Control Plan and is used to validate it.
•

To indicate compliance with the EPC requirements, Suppliers will attach to each
shipment label a special marking as agreed to between the Supplier and BorgWarner.

BorgWarner Responsibility•

The EPC quantity/timeframe will be agreed to with the Supplier and based on
BorgWarner’s Customer requirement.

•

Review and approve the EPC plan and communicate approval to Supplier.

Exit Criteria
Supplier will be eligible to Self-Exit Early Production Containment provided it meets thequantity/timeframe agreed to with no discrepancies found at Supplier or BorgWarner. In theevent the self-exit criteria has been met but the EPC plan continues to identify nonconformances, the EPC plan must be kept in place until process controls and capabilities
have proven effective, and the Production Control Plan is validated to BorgWarner’s
satisfaction.
Consequences of Shipping Non-Conforming Material•

Failure to execute EPC may result in Controlled Shipping.

•

Shipment of discrepant material during the specified EPC period or any other time
may result in Controlled Shipping.

9.7 Process Capability and Monitoring
Defined Part/Process Characteristics
In addition to certain Customer Specific Requirements, certain characteristics can bedeemed as important, and will require increased monitoring to ensure the quality of the parts.
Those characteristics may be designated as special, significant, high impact, major, or other,based on specific BorgWarner site requirements.
The appropriate BorgWarner representative will identify these specific requirements or
characteristics, either by direct communication, specification, or product drawing.
Control of Above Defined Part/Process Characteristics
The Supplier is expected to use statistical techniques to maintain a state of control and to
improve the process capability on defined part/process characteristics.
Unless otherwise specified by BorgWarner, a minimum 1.67 Ppk index is required fordesignated characteristics at initial PPAP submission. For ongoing series production, aminimum 1.33 Ppk index is required.
Suppliers must maintain the statistical data for all designated characteristics and must makethe data available to BorgWarner upon request. The Supplier may also be required to submit
this data periodically to BorgWarner when requested.
Unless otherwise specified by BorgWarner, if the process does not meet the required
capability target, the Supplier must supply a containment plan describing the 100%

BorgWarner Supplier Manual
inspection method that prevents out of specification parts from being shipped to BorgWarner,
and a Corrective Action Plan for capability improvement.
BorgWarner representative may designate additional requirements.
Lot traceability shall be maintained by the Supplier, unless otherwise specified by
BorgWarner (see section “9.10 Traceability Requirements” for specific details).
Special Process Requirements•

BorgWarner may require Suppliers with special processes to complete documented
evidence for BorgWarner and its customers such as AIAG, CQI, VDA 6.3, etc. The
goal of this standard is the development of a special process management systemproviding continuous improvement, defect prevention and reduction of variation andwaste in the supply chain. Suppliers may be expected to perform annual selfassessments. BorgWarner reserves the right to complete its own on-site assessment.
For all special processes, Suppliers must share the current CQI assessment with
BorgWarner as soon as possible upon request.

•

Heat Treatment processes are always critical to function and are a core aspect ofSupplier’s manufacturing processes. Deviations to a heat treatment process have aconsiderable impact on the quality and reliability of our products. BorgWarner puts
special focus into the approval of heat treatment processes at our Suppliers or
subcontractors. All heat treatment operations where BorgWarner products areproduced are required to follow the automotive standards (e.g., AIAG CQI-9) and tocomply with BorgWarner Engineering and Quality Standards listed on the drawing
specifications. A BorgWarner Heat Treatment representative maybe required toperform heat treatment audits at Supplier and/or subcontractors. Heat treatment
processes must always be released part-specific and furnace-specific.

9.8 Complaint On Purchased Material (CPM)
GeneralBorgWarner will immediately notify the Supplier if non-conforming material is found. Upon
verification that BorgWarner has received non-conforming product from a Supplier,
BorgWarner will issue a Complaint on Purchased Material (CPM) to the Supplier.
Evidence of defect such as digital photos will be provided when possible. A sample of thedefect may be sent to the Supplier upon request.
BorgWarner will issue a CPM to the Supplier regardless of the disposition and/or use of the
non-conforming material and improper PPAP submissions. BorgWarner will apply only the
number of non-conforming parts to the Parts per Million (PPM) calculation if containment
actions and sorting results are forwarded within an agreed time frame. BorgWarner will notissue a CPM and defective parts will not be counted toward the Supplier's PPM number, if
the Supplier:•

Requests and gets approval of eSCR (electronic Supplier Change Request) or otherequivalent approval to cover “out of print” conditions prior to shipping parts. See
Supplier Change Management section for deviation request guidelines.

•

Notifies BorgWarner of a potential quality concern prior to the concern being found by
BorgWarner and removes or sorts the suspect material and replaces it with "certified"material.

Rev. Date: 2023/08/09

Page 36 of 70

BorgWarner Supplier Manual
Containment Actions
Upon receiving a CPM from BorgWarner, Suppliers are required to immediately sort 100% of
their product, including product at the BorgWarner plant(s), in transit, in warehouses, at theSupplier's production facility, etc., and to ensure that BorgWarner's assembly plants aresupplied with enough certified stock to assure no disruptions to production. Material must belabeled as certified for the specific defect, or defects, for the next three shipments unlessotherwise directed by BorgWarner.
•

Depending on the continuity of supply situation, the following may occur:o High inventory at BorgWarner—Supplier may choose to have product returnedor Supplier may sort at BorgWarner.
o Low inventory at BorgWarner—Supplier must come on-site to BorgWarner tosort for defective product.
o Extremely urgent (possible line down)—BorgWarner will take the appropriate
action and the Supplier will be responsible for all costs incurred.
o NOTE: Some of BorgWarner’s production facilities do not allow sorting ofpurchased material to take place on-site. Suppliers must make arrangements
for transporting non-conforming material from BorgWarner, sorting the material,
re-packaging, creating new packing slips with accurate quantities, affixing new
bar code labels as needed, and arranging transportation of certified stock backto BorgWarner.

•

BorgWarner will contact the Supplier for authorization to return the material at
Supplier's expense.

•

BorgWarner will not manage Supplier sorting using an outside source. Suppliers are
responsible for outside sources and must make all arrangements to ship parts
between BorgWarner and outside source. Supplier will also be responsible forinspecting and monitoring the quality of sorted parts.

•

Defective parts returned to the Supplier, reworked and returned to BorgWarner may
still be counted toward the Supplier PPM. Reworked parts must meet specifications.
The repairing of parts is not permissible without prior written authorization from
BorgWarner.

•Supplier is responsible for reporting accurate sorting results and to request adjusted
defective quantities when appropriate. This can have an impact on the Supplier’s PPM
calculation.

8-D Reports
GeneralThe Supplier will respond to CPMs by using the BorgWarner 8-D Problem Solving
Form (GSM-F007) or other form approved by appropriate BorgWarner personnel. The
8-D documentation will be submitted in response to each CPM, unless otherwise
agreed to by the appropriate BorgWarner representative. E-mail is the preferred
method of response.
Initial Submission
Rev. Date: 2023/08/09

Page 37 of 70

BorgWarner Supplier Manual
BorgWarner must receive the initial 8-D response within 24 hours of notification. The
3-D report, with the containment action taken and initial sort results found, must be
submitted within 48 hours and the 5-D report must be submitted within 14 days. The
5-D report must contain the definition, planning and implementation of the long-termcorrective action items. The above deadlines apply, unless otherwise specified (e.g., if
a customer requires stricter deadlines such as 5-D closure within 7 days instead of 14days, BorgWarner may require a faster response from the Supplier).
Final Submission
Suppliers must submit the final 8-D Problem Solving Form for approval and closure assoon as practical, but no later than 30 days from the CPM issuance date. The Supplier
may request approval for an extension of the 30- day deadline but must do so prior tothe original deadline. Requests should be made to the appropriate representative of
BorgWarner.
Approval and Closure
The appropriate BorgWarner representative, prior to closure of a CPM, must approvea Supplier’s final 8-D Report. Any 8-Ds open beyond 30 days may negatively impact
the Supplier’s performance rating (see Supplier Performance Metrics section).
If the 8-D identifies a change to the process or part, the BorgWarner ChangeManagement requirements MUST be followed (see Supplier Change Management
section).
•

Supplier may be requested to present their corrective actions on-site at the
BorgWarner Facility.

•

BorgWarner and its Customers reserve the right to verify product conformance to therequirements at the Supplier’s and their subcontractor’s plants.

•

Verification of the implemented corrective action on-site at the Supplier may be
accomplished during subsequent visits.

•

If Corrective Actions take more than two (2) weeks to implement, a progress report
may be required.

•

When the corrective action is completed and verified to be effective, the BorgWarner
8-D Champion is responsible for approving the 8-D closure and notifying the Suppliercontact of the closure.

Controlled Shipping•

BorgWarner may determine that special measures are required to ensure adequate
quality and delivery performance. The costs related to these measures, including but
not limited to Controlled Shipping, will be at the Supplier’s expense.

•

Controlled Shipping is a requirement by BorgWarner for a Supplier to add a redundantinspection process for sorting of a specific non-conformance, while implementing aroot cause problem-solving process. The redundant inspection is in addition to normal
controls and should be completed in a controlled area. Submission of the CS2Assessment Form – I-Chart (GSM-F009) showing inspection results is required. The
data obtained from the redundant inspection process is critical as both a measure ofRev. Date: 2023/08/09

Page 38 of 70

BorgWarner Supplier Manualthe effectiveness of the secondary inspection process and the corrective actions taken
to eliminate the initial nonconformance.
•

BorgWarner will notify the Supplier they have been placed on Controlled Shipping.
Two levels of Controlled Shipping exist:o Level 1 includes a problem-solving process as well as a redundant inspection
process. The Supplier’s employees at the Supplier’s location enact theinspection process in order to isolate the Customer from receipt of nonconforming parts/material.
o Level 2 includes the same processes as Controlled Shipping – Level 1, with an
added inspection process by a third-party representing BorgWarner or
BorgWarner’s Customer’s interests specific to the containment activity. The
third party is selected by the Supplier, approved by BorgWarner or
BorgWarner’s Customer, and paid for by the Supplier. Suppliers may select thethird party from an approved listing maintained by BorgWarner or BorgWarner’s
Customer.

•Other measures may be required if Level 2 controls are not effective. Criteria for
application for Controlled Shipping – Level 1 or 2:
o BorgWarner will make the determination whether the Supplier can effectively
correct the non-conforming material situation through the normal CPM 8-D
process and isolate BorgWarner or BorgWarner’s Customer from the problem.
One or several of the following issues may be cause for Supplier to beconsidered for implementation of Controlled Shipping:▪

Repeat CPMs▪

Supplier’s current controls are not sufficient to ensure conformance torequirements▪

Duration, quantity, and/or severity of the problem▪

Internal/external Supplier data▪

Controlled Shipping – Level 1 failures▪

Major disruptions▪

Quality problem in the field (i.e., warranty).

o Based on consideration of the above, BorgWarner decides whether Level 1 orLevel 2 would be appropriate.
o A 3rd party or a BorgWarner representative may perform audits. The dataobtained from the 3rd party redundant inspection process as well as any audits
are critical as both a measure of the effectiveness of the secondary inspection
process and the corrective actions taken to eliminate the initial nonconformance.
o In special cases, the Controlled Shipping – Level 2 inspection may be required
to be performed outside the Supplier’s facilities at a facility deemed appropriate
by BorgWarner.
•

Exit criteria Controlled Shipping – Level 1 & Controlled Shipping – Level 2:

requested by BorgWarner or BorgWarner’s Customer.

9.9 Supplier Charge Back
GeneralSuppliers are responsible for the quality, on-time delivery, and reliability of the product they
supply. Product must meet the drawing and any referenced specifications. The Supplieraccepts financial responsibility for the consequences of non-conforming product and rejected
PPAP submissions including, but not limited to, costs incurred for containment, sorting,premium freight, rework, repair costs of BorgWarner value add processing, and replacementof defective material, resulting overtime, and productivity loss incurred by BorgWarner or by
BorgWarner’s Customers.
Following is the schedule for charge back costs associated with non-conforming product sent
to a BorgWarner site:•

Administration fee for each CPM issued.

•

Off-site 3rd Party Sorting—charges to be paid directly between Supplier and 3rd Party
Sorting Company.

•

In-house sorting by 3rd Party Sorting Company (if allowed by specific BorgWarnersite)—charges to be paid directly between Supplier and 3rd Party Sorting Company.

Rev. Date: 2023/08/09

•

Supplier will be responsible for all applicable warranty costs.

Unauthorized Changes
In cases where a Supplier has implemented an unauthorized change or has failed to deliver
contracted products in accordance with the specifications and terms of the BorgWarner
Purchase Order, all costs that are incurred by BorgWarner and/or its Customers will be thesole responsibility of the Supplier.
Charge Back Debit
The method of charge back will be by debit memo, processed by the BorgWarner receiving
location.

9.10 Traceability Requirements
Having a strong traceability system is a key component to overall success, with the focus on
improving quality, reducing costs, optimizing processes, and ultimately improving time- tocustomer throughout our supply chain. Cradle-to-grave availability and visibility of data is vitalfor our supply base who make, store, or move components through the supply chain because
the data is used in production output calculations, quality control and process capability
calculation, inventory management, revenue forecasting, warranty, repair, and otherbusiness operations. It’s also critical to increasing throughput and lowering production costs.
Lack of individual traceability significantly increases the time for root cause analysis andidentification of the source of a defect, as well as increased financial impact in the event of aquality incident.
With that in mind, BorgWarner business units have specific traceability requirements outlined
below:•

Traceability System requirements•

Individual or batch/lot component traceability requirements•

Manufacturing, machining, assembly, testing process traceability requirements•

Traceability Data Retention•

Part Identification (Barcoding) requirements.

The specific requirements for this section must be considered by Supplier in collaboration
with the associated BorgWarner business unit.

This requirement is in accordance with IATF16949:2016 requirements which outlines thefollowing:•

Organizations must use a process for quality assurance of products with internallydeveloped embedded software and have an appropriate assessment methodology toassess their software development process.

•The software development process must also be included within the scope of theinternal audit program; the internal auditor should be able to understand and assess
the effectiveness of the software development assessment methodology chosen by
the organization.

9.12 Product Safety Requirements
Product Safety is a section in the IATF standard, and an organization must have documented
processes for management of product-safety related products and manufacturing processes.
New requirements related to product safety include, where applicable:•

Special approval of control plans and FMEAs•

Training identified by organization or customer for personnel involved in productsafety related products and associated manufacturing processes•

Transfer of requirements with regards to product safety throughout the supply chain,including customer designated sources.

This clause highlights the fact that a product should perform to its designed or intended
purpose without causing unacceptable harm or damage. Organizations must have processes
in place to ensure product safety throughout the entire product lifecycle.

9.13 Cleanliness Requirements
Contamination control will improve part cleanliness over time with measurement, processcontrol and handling improvements. It utilizes a standardized systematic and a structured
approach to monitor and control contamination sources and applies a disciplined approach
when responding to issues.
Contamination control:•

Provides a systematic approach for control and communication of contamination
issues•Supports and establishes defined areas of continual improvement•

11 Supplier Change Management
11.1 General
Recognizing that managing change is of critical importance, BorgWarner has implemented a
corporate-wide Change Management System designed to ensure the quality and integrity of
BorgWarner products. Suppliers are expected to take a proactive approach to issues of nonconforming product or any changes to design, performance, materials, or processes. Suppliers
should never ship such product before obtaining written BorgWarner approval through one of themethods outlined below. In cases where a Supplier has implemented an unauthorized change
and BorgWarner and/or its Customers have been negatively impacted, the Supplier will be
responsible for compensating BorgWarner for all associated costs.

11.2 Temporary Changes
When seeking permission to temporarily ship product that is out of specification or productthat is produced with a temporary process change not reflected in the Supplier’s current
Process Control Plan, the Supplier is responsible for obtaining approval prior to shipping.
Such situations might include minor dimensional errors, or a processing operation
outsourced while a machine is down. Note that any changes to Supplier-specified productcharacteristics also fall under this requirement even if they are not shown on the BorgWarnerdrawing.
Suppliers must complete and submit eSCR (electronic Supplier Change Request) to theappropriate BorgWarner Supplier Representative for review and approval. Note that eSCR is
used for Temporary Deviation Requests and Permanent Change Requests (different
approval sections on the form).
The Supplier must obtain written permission prior to shipping product that is out ofspecification and carry out the following:•

Submit eSCR (electronic Supplier Change Request)•

Check box for Temporary Deviation Request only•

Track the eSCR expiration date and applicable quantity of product•

Ship product within the scope of the eSCR•

Obtain authorization for additional shipments beyond the agreed limit•

Approval must be obtained from all affected BorgWarner plants before implementing,unless otherwise agreed to with BorgWarner.

11.3 Permanent Changes
GeneralWhen seeking permission to make a permanent change to the design, performance, or
processing of product supplied to BorgWarner, Suppliers must request approval as described
below prior to implementation. Note that any changes to Supplier-specified productcharacteristics also fall under this requirement even if they are not shown on the BorgWarnerdrawing and/or specification.

Supplier Change Request•

Suppliers seeking permanent changes to product design, performance, or processing
must complete and submit eSCR (electronic Supplier Change Request) to theappropriate BorgWarner Supplier Representative for review.
o The form must include all relevant information.
o BorgWarner may approve, reject, or apply conditions of approval to the SCR(e.g., Level 3 PPAP required after change is implemented). The disposition isdetermined by the nature of the change and impact on manufacturing andCustomer requirements.

•

Approval of the eSCR does not authorize the Supplier to ship—it is only theauthorization to proceed with coordination of PPAP submission.
o Suppliers must NOT:▪

Implement changes before receiving full PPAP approval.

▪

Ship until satisfying all AIAG and/or VDA Production Part Approval
Process requirements.

▪

Ship prior to the implementation date established with the BorgWarnerMaterials Group.

▪

Implement before obtaining approval from all affected BorgWarnerplants, unless otherwise agreed to with BorgWarner.

o In cases where a Supplier has implemented an unauthorized change and
BorgWarner and/or its Customers have been negatively impacted, the Supplier
will be responsible for compensating BorgWarner for all associated costs
incurred by BorgWarner and its Customers.

11.4 Review Process
Review and Approval Process•

A cross-functional group at BorgWarner will evaluate eSCR (electronic Supplier
Change Request). The nature of the change (Supplier process or design change) will
determine if it can be implemented or if BorgWarner will require validation testing andapprovals from our Customers.

•

Suppliers may be required to use the BorgWarner eAPQP system as part of thisprocess.

12 Materials/Delivery Expectations

inventory buffer will become the responsibility of the Supplier. Any deviation from thispolicy must be negotiated with the proper BorgWarner facility or GSM representative.

12.2 Packaging/Containerization
The Supplier will plan for the timely provision of containers and/or packaging media tosupport BorgWarner requirements. Returnable packaging systems are the preferred methodof production part packaging. Extra cleaning processes required to meet BorgWarnercleanliness needs are the responsibility of the Supplier. Any costs associated with extra
cleaning are to be part of the Supplier’s quotation and are the responsibility of the Supplier.
BorgWarner must approve all packaging design during APQP and prior to PPAP. Suppliers
are not permitted to ship product to BorgWarner without packaging approval by BorgWarner.
The Supplier will develop and implement a system to monitor container quantity and theircondition. The Supplier will also ensure that the following conditions are met:•

Containers are kept in good suitably clean and dry condition (free from foreignmaterial)•

Labels from previous shipments are removed•

Containers are maintained in working order (i.e., lubrication of gate hinges, spring clip
locking devices, etc.)•

Damaged containers, trays, or other BorgWarner supplied product are to be removed
from the float, tagged as defective, and returned with notification to the Material
Control at the appropriate BorgWarner plant. Reimbursement to BorgWarner will bemade for Supplier-incurred damage of returnable packaging•

BorgWarner will ask each Supplier that utilizes BorgWarner-owned returnable
dunnage to keep inventories at their plant to ensure proper material flow•

At the end of the calendar year, BorgWarner will request an inventory count of all
returnable dunnage, including what is in storage at any of Supplier’s plants and what
is in transit to BorgWarner•

Packaging meets all government and environmental regulations.

The Supplier is responsible for all normal and reasonable costs associated with cleaning andminor repair.
Approval of Packaging•

Suppliers must utilize Supplier Packaging Form (GSM-F012) unless otherwise
directed as part of the APQP process.

Page 46 of 70

BorgWarner Supplier Manual
Label Size & Materials•

The size of the BorgWarner label will be determined by the BorgWarner receiving
plant. Label stock must be white, and the printing must be black. The tag will beaffixed via a pressure sensitive or dry gummed application. If the label cannot beaffixed to the package/container because of container size or design, special
arrangements will be required between the Material Control function at the receiving
BorgWarner plant and the Supplier.

Label Types, Label Placement, & Machine-Readable Information•

Label fields specified as containing machine readable information (bar codes) willcomply with plant specific requirements. Of particular note, Master Labels, and Mixed
Load Labels will be affixed to secondary containers in such a manner that when thepack is broken apart, the label is discarded or destroyed (e.g., hang Mixed Load Labelfrom the banding or attach to stretch wrap).

•

In order to ensure label accuracy, it is expected that the Supplier verify (electronicallyor manually) all labeling to ensure that the label matches the purchase order (orrelease). Label errors may be treated as a quality complaint necessitating permanent
corrective action.

12.4 Transportation & Supply Chain Security
