 I - Global SREA Process Scope of Application

a) Definition of SREA
The SREA (Supplier Request for Engineering Approval) is an external supplier request to obtain Ford
engineering, plant and STA (Supplier Technical Assistance) approval for a plan to implement
proposed external supplier-initiated changes. This meets the change notification requirements of
PPAP (Production Part Approval Process).

NOTE 1: SREA approval does not indicate an approval to ship production parts/product. PSW (Part
Submission Warrant) approval per PPAP and any Ford-specified functional trials are required prior to
shipping production parts/product.

NOTE 2: An SREA is not to be used to approve:

Changes that affect cost. Cost changes must be approved in WERS (Worldwide Engineering
Release System) or equivalent.
Changes that require a modification to the Ford print and / or a Ford part number suffix. These
changes must be approved in WERS or equivalent.

b) When is an SREA required?

When an external supplier needs to make a permanent change to a:
o production manufacturing process or site/location after PPAP approval
o service-unique part/product or process after PPAP approval.

When an external supplier does not have access to WERS or an equivalent system*, all
supplier-initiated design changes are to be communicated to Ford Product Development
Engineering using an SREA to:
o Request a permanent design change (i.e. a WERS Concern or an equivalent), OR
o Request a temporary engineering specification (i.e. a WERS Alert or an equivalent)

c) Regions and Brands Affected

The SREA is applicable to all global Ford geographic regions and brands of Ford Motor Company
except Mazda. Ford geographic regions are:
o North America Sites located in Canada, USA, and Mexico
o South America Any country in Central or South America
o Europe Russia, Turkey, Israel or any country in Western Europe, Eastern Europe,
North Africa, or Scandinavia
o Asia/Pacific All other countries not included above

Note: wherever "Ford" is used in this document, it refers to "Ford Motor Company".

* Regionally deployed equivalent design and release system.

II - Global SREA Process Production Components
a) SUPPLIER MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND SITE/LOCATION CHANGE

(i) Types of Changes

MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND SITE/LOCATION CHANGES
Any supplier-initiated changes to the original PPAP approved process affecting:

Site location
Site construction affecting process or process flow
Part/product Processing
Equipment changes
Process flow
Sub-supplier changes affecting site location, processing, process flow or materials
Material changes within the existing design specification
Material source changes

Contact the STA Engineer if the proposed process or site change is not listed above.

Notes:
Changes in manufacturing processes or sites/locations proposed by sub-suppliers require
approval of the Tier 1.
Ford-Directed sub-suppliers are required to submit the SREA to both Ford and the Tier 1 for
approval.
See section V "Approval path for sub-supplier proposed change" (page 18)

1 Supplier completes the first page of the SREA form (Form 1638 on page 15), includes tracking number using optional site code date format.

2 Is this a supplier-initiated site/location move of the Tier 1 or Ford-Directed sub-tier?

Yes -- Supplier proceeds with steps S1, S2, and S3, and 4 below.
No -- Supplier submits the completed first page of the SREA form and supporting material by e-mail to the STA Engineer. Supplier also sends a copy
of the SREA (by e-mail) to all affected Product Development Plant Residents. The SREA process continues with steps M1a, M1b, M2, M3 and
4 below. Note: a list of Product Development Plant Residents is available through https://web.qpr.ford.com/sta/SREA.html

Supplier-initiated Tier 1 or Ford-Directed sub-supplier site/location move

S1, S2, and S3
- The supplier submits the completed first page of the SREA form and appropriate attachments to the Ford Buyer (by e-mail) with a copy to STA.
Also submits to the Tier 1 if it is a Ford-Directed sub-supplier site/location move.
- The Ford Buyer then follows Purchasing Resourcing procedure PP 2.1.3 to obtain approvals. Approvals are not obtained through the SREA
Process.
- If approved by Ford (and by the Tier 1 if it is a Ford-Directed sub supplier site/location move), the supplier follows the agreed work plan and
submits PPAP (PSW).

- If rejected, the Buyer informs the supplier per Global Resourcing Procedure PP2.1.3
Manufacturing process change or a non-Ford-Directed sub-supplier site/location move
M1a STA Approval M1b -- Product Development Plant Resident Review
- STA reviews the proposed change using the Q1 manufacturing site - The affected Product Development Plant Residents review the SREA and
assessment or other appropriate tools/methods to assess the supplier's supporting documents for impact of the change on vehicle or Powertrain

affected Product Development Plant Residents (by e-mail) with an
explanation of the rejection. - Proceed to Product Development Plant Resident Approval, step M3.
M2 Product Development Engineering Approval
- Ford Product Development Engineering reviews the proposed testing (DV Design Verification and/or PV Production Validation) to verify that the
testing robustly evaluates the impact of the change on the part/product -- FAP03-149 (Ford internal link) defines appropriate DV and PV testing.
- Ford Product Development Engineering recommends any appropriate functional trials to the Lead* Product Development Plant Resident based on
impact on all affected Ford plants and sends a copy (by email) to all other affected Product Development Plant Residents.
- If the Product Development Engineering Manager approves the SREA (see the required approvals & instructions on page 7) the Manager forwards
(by e-mail) the approved SREA to the Lead* Product Development Plant Resident and all other affected Product Development Plant
Residents/Plants, with a copy to the supplier.

- If Product Development Engineering Manager rejects the SREA, the Manager returns it to the supplier and to all affected Product Development Plant
Residents (by e-mail) with an explanation of the rejection.
M3 Product Development Plant Resident Approval and Distribution
- The Lead* Product Development Plant Resident reviews the supplier's proposed change for impact on the Lead* plant processes.
- The Lead Product Development Plant Resident approves or rejects the SREA for his own plant, and informs all the other affected Ford Product
Development Plant Residents of his decision. Any Product Development Plant Resident has an opportunity to reject the SREA per box M1b above.
- All affected Product Development Plant Residents concur with or revise the Product Development Engineering Functional Trial recommendations for
their respective plants.
- All affected Product Development Plant Residents work individually with the supplier to develop functional trial run requirements for their respective
plants, using page 3 of the SREA form or equivalent document. Page 3 of the SREA form can also document functional trial approvals. A WERS Alert or
equivalent may be used to track the trial run parts. The supplier manages the delivery & logistics of the trial run with each Product Development Plant
Resident. NOTE: Functional trial testing is to be conducted after a successful PPAP submission. It is not a condition of SREA approval.
- The Lead* Product Development Plant Resident informs the Ford Product Development Engineering Manager of the SREA approval, and then
forwards the approved SREA to the supplier.
- The Lead* Product Development Plant Resident is the only Plant Resident required to sign the SREA.
- If the Lead* or any affected Product Development Plant Resident reject(s) the SREA, the rejecting PD Plant Resident returns the SREA to the
supplier, and informs the other affected PD Plant Residents and the Ford Product Development Engineering Manager (by e-mail) with an explanation of
the rejection.
4 PPAP/PSW Submission
For only the M1, M2, M3 SREA path: The supplier includes the approved SREA in the PPAP submission package.
For both the M1, M2, M3 path and S1, S2, S3 path:
- The Supplier submits PPAP, obtains approval, and retains the PPAP package.
- The supplier completes the functional trial (if required) and must receive functional trial approval or waiver prior to shipping production quantities of parts.

III - Global SREA Process Service-Unique Components
SUPPLIER PART DESIGN, MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND SITE/LOCATION
CHANGE

(i) Types of Changes

DEFINITION -- FCSD Service-Unique parts/product:

Parts/product released by FCSD and not common with production parts/product (i.e. remanufactured
components, service chemical, etc), and past model parts/product no longer used in production or for Original
Equipment warranty repairs, but still produced for service.

SERVICE-UNIQUE MANUFACTURING AND SITE/LOCATION CHANGES

The list of service-unique manufacturing and site/location changes is the same as the list for production
parts/product on page 4 - section II a) (i)

Contact the FCSD (Ford Customer Service Division) STA Engineer if the service-unique process
or site change does not appear on page 4.

SERVICE-UNIQUE DESIGN CHANGES

Any supplier-initiated changes outlined in Section II b (i) including:
Change components of an assembly due to availability issues (obsolete, not currently
available, tooling down, etc.)
Ship without a component of an assembly due to availability issues
Change the content of a kit due to availability issues
Substitute essentially identical final assemblies
Expand to coverage of one part/product and drop another for complexity reduction
Material changes or substitution resulting from obsolete or prohibited material revisions
Worn tooling dimensional, and tolerance change approval
Request to produce part/product to meet last run samples-- as a result of:
o Loss of Check Fixtures
o Loss of Tools
o Loss of Master Sample parts/product
o WERS Design Record not up to date due changes made with no record, changes made
with incomplete record, changes made with inaccurate record
o Drawing not up to date for all of the above
o No Drawing
o No WERS Design Record

Note (Ford internal use):

For current model service-unique parts/product and FCSD Service-Unique parts/product; the originating Design and
Release or PVT activity is responsible for all changes per the production part Global SREA Process documented in this
procedure.

If Ford Engineering is unable to address the SREA for the FCSD Service-Unique parts/product, then, upon FCSD
request, Ford Engineering should transfer part/product ownership in WERS to FCSD (activity NUU0). This part/product
ownership transfer will maintain a single design record associated with the transferred Service-Unique part/product and
resultant SREA change.
