Following
operations will be completed manually:

 

•                  Operation Instructions, Pictorial Based Excel
Format

•                  Inspection Instructions in Excel and Word
Format

•                  Flow Charts in Excel or Word Format

•                  Floor Plans in Solid Works Format

 

Following
stipulations apply:

 

•                  Vehicle and complete part kit to arrive at Tecstar
location on or before July 29, 2005

•                  Providing dedicated resource at Tecstar’s
facility

•                  Access to all drawings, BOM’s, current
process instructions and flow diagrams

•                  Office space, phone and internet access at

1.1.1                     SCOPE OF WORK

 

1.1.1.1                                   Work Instructions will be developed for each operation
identified in the Final Manufacturing Process. Contained in these documents
will be items that identify the tools needed, parts required, quality of parts,
fixture to be used, torque values required, revision control, pictorial views
and step by step instructions. The document numbering system will correspond to
the process flow document. These documents are intended to be at 30% completion
by November (reference timeline), with preliminary documents in place. 100%
completion of manufacturing documents, fixture lists, and tool lists is
December.

 

1.1.1.2                                   Control Plans will be in the AIAG required format. Control
Plans will follow the process performed in the station and correspond with the
process flow documentation. Each process step will include a reaction plan.
Process Characteristics will be noted.

 

1.1.1.3                                   Router will be developed to show the sequence of
each process, process name, process description and amount of labor time per
process step.

 

1.1.1.4                                   Key Characteristics will be identified. These characteristics
will be on the control plan and linked to an inspection that will collect
either variable or attribute data. Current Characteristics will be used and
reviewed with your VP of Quality. Additional Characteristics will be identified
and also pre-reviewed with Force Protection.

 

1.1.1.5                                   Inspection Instructions will be developed for Receiving (vehicle
ready for Final Assembly), In-Process and Final Inspection. The documentation
is intended to “stay” with the vehicle (in a traveler) and then in the permanent
vehicle file (for each individual vehicle). Current inspection and any proposed
inspections will be reviewed with Force Protection.

 

1.1.1.6                                   Floor Plan Layout will be supplied in Solid Works Format. This
Drawing will contain the following: main final assembly station and sub
assembly location and foot print, material aisles, material staging area, work
bench location, repair location, lighting requirements , air and electrical
drops, inspection area, dynometer area, water test and plant flow.

 

1.1.1.7                                   Fixtures/Tools/Equipment lists will be supplied. Each list will
identify the type of product required, location of intended use and quantity
required. This would also include the inspection equipment specifications. These
documents are intended to be at 30% completion by November (reference
timeline), with preliminary documents in place. 100% completion of
manufacturing documents, fixture lists, and tool lists is December

1.1.1.8                                   Material Plan for product to be located in or around each
station will be developed. Identification and/or design of type of Material
Handling Racks will be provided.

 

1.1.1.9                                   Process Flow Diagrams will be created for each process including a
master overall flow. All movement will be identified to include store,
transport, inspection and operation.

 

1.1.1.10                            Metrics (or Measurable) will be developed for Key Characteristics and
for FTQ with the intention that the data collection will be manual.

 

1.1.1.11                            Repair Plan will be developed including work instructions
and location of the Motor Bay. These instructions will be a combination of the
process instructions.
