5.6 Product Escalation check
Implementation of product escalation check (5 forward/backward) by checking order/8D report with
detailed descriptions of checking conditions has to be done by Control System 2. In case the vehicles
are already in the next shop, the QA – Engineering has to ensure, that also the escalation check there
is performed and documented.
The activities are temporary (time/frequency limited) as random checks on additional semi finished
vehicles and in line with scope of already identified and recognized failures (check characteristics).
The results will build a base for introducing suitable follow up activities as well as evaluating the
effectiveness of countermeasures.
The checking contents and extension of checking figures takes place independence of the failure
category (FC 9, 5, 3, 1).
