Introduction:
                 These requirements are set forth to ensure that all of LG Sourcing Vendors are
             successfully meeting the quality expectations of LG Sourcing and its customers. The
             vision of LG Sourcing Quality Assurance is to assure quality processes and manufacturing
             practices are in place within its vendor’s manufacturing facilities resulting in the safest
             and highest quality product being provided to LG Sourcing and their customers. These
             requirements are meant to improve the vendor’s quality systems whether already fully
             established or just being developed. While these requirements are meant to improve
             quality, they don’t guarantee the quality of the final product. The vendor is still
             ultimately responsible for supplying quality product that meets LG Sourcing
             expectations and total customer satisfaction.
                 This Quality Management System contains provisions that are fully required for
             compliance and others that are recommended best practices. All provisions referenced
             within this document and the ISO document that begin with “shall” are mandatory
             requirements to be implemented within the vendor’s organization. All provisions that
             begin with “should” are recommended for implementation within the vendor’s
             organization. These recommendations are applied to items that will establish a more
             robust Quality Managements System and will greatly benefit the vendor once
             implemented. The vendor must consider all provisions when establishing their Quality
             Management System.
                 All vendors shall purchase copies of the ISO 9001:2008 standard to reference these
             requirements. All other referenced documents and manuals referenced herein should
             be purchased by the vendor to aid in the implementation of their QMS.

All vendors in establishing their Quality Management System shall implement and
                comply with all of the following paragraphs of the LG Sourcing Vendor QMS

                a target of 1.66 is desired.

                Permanent Corrective Action: A corrective action that includes all of the controls,
                methodologies and actions necessary to ensure that the root cause is identified and
                corrective action has been implemented to ensure the problem does not reoccur.

                8D: An eight step method for resolving and correcting product and process issues.
                Form the Team (define objectives of the team, scope the plan, and timetable)
                Clarify the Problem (state the problem as concisely as possible)
                Contain the Problem (quarantine all suspect product from all points of flow)
                Identify potential Root Causes (brainstorm potential reasons for failure)
                Generate Solutions (identify possible solutions for likely root causes)
                Implement Permanent Solutions (based off most likely failures)
                Prevent Recurrence (look at like product and processes, fix systems)
                Congratulate the Team (recognize and thank those who fixed the issue)

                FMEA (Failure Mode Effects Analysis): A rating methodology for evaluating and
                prioritizing potential failures of the product due to design or process issues. By
                determining the Risk Priority Number (RPN), weighted factors identify areas for
                improvement opportunities, reducing the likelihood of nonconforming product being
                shipped.
                (Likelihood of Occurrence x Likelihood of Detection x Severity of Occurrence=RPN)
