7) Corrective Actions
a) Corrective Actions Required: This area will automatically populate based on the ratings in each audit section.
b) Date Corrective Actions are to be completed: Corrective action date is automatically populated. Duration is based on the audit date and the
durations in the 'Corrective Actions' tab cell H4&5. If the required completion date is changed formal notification should be provide to the supplier.
FOLLOW UP ACTIONS
The corrective actions are necessary for all categories that are rated Yellow or Red (0 or 1). Timing on these actions should not exceed a 90 day
duration unless the Lear auditor agrees to extending the completion date based on the complexity of the corrective actions. It is in both companies best
interest to complete the corrective actions as expediently as possible. Conference calls should take place on a regular basis, the frequency of the calls
are dependent on the level of risk for each rating less than a 2 = Solid or Fully implemented.
Before increasing the score of a category; a Lear auditor should visit the supplier to reassess the system, if feasible: or the supplier may be able to
provide adequate evidence and documentation to appease the Lear auditor.
Once all systems whose status were Yellow or Red have been addressed to meet all Lear requirements a follow-up audit should be completed. Upon
completion of the follow-up on-site audit, new documentation should be stored in the same system as the original audit (GAMS). This will provide a
history of actions taken by both parties to successfully address any issues.
The supplier should proactively improve each area of concern and report to Lear prior to the required closure date.
Below are the levels of Risk with the corresponding color code. Suggested timing for Corrective Actions and conference calls are listed with each level
of Risk.
RED = High Risk - Score 0% to 74%
Supplier must address and improve areas of concerns within 30 days to to improve to a Yellow status or better. Lear's auditor may extend or
reduce the completion time as necessary. Conference calls should take place at least twice a week or as required by the Lear auditor.
YELLOW = At Risk - Score 75% to 84%
Supplier needs to address and improve the identified areas of concerns within 90 days. Lear's auditor may extend or reduce the completion time as
necessary. Conference calls should take place at least bi-weekly or as required by the Lear auditor.
GREEN - Low Risk - Score 85% to 100%
Supplier is considered to have adequately met Lear requirements and can be considered Low Risk. Continuous Improvement actions should
continue to all areas that do not achieve a 'Good' (2) rating.
1) Questions
a) These questions do not impact the overall score and are used to provide additional information that Lear Corporation deems important. Each
question should be answered with a Yes, No, or in some rare cases "X" for Not Applicable. Additional information can be provided in the Auditor's Notes
general section as discussed below.
b) For those questions related to requirements, in case of their non fulfillment, an explanation (in bold) must be included in the auditor notes and an
action plan must be requested, Not Applicable (X) items must be explained.
c) The Q&A section must be completely answer to get the score, without it you will see this message that Q&A are missing:
AUDIT SECTIONS
The five audit sections; Management, Quality, Production, Materials, and Engineering focus on overall quality system elements that Lear Corporation
expects suppliers to have fully functional in their facilities. Each section's questions are structured the same way; but focus on different systems that
should be in place under each aspect of plant operation.
Introduction
Page 4 of 45 Printed: 05/03/2025
880214861.xlsx
1) Scoring Each Category
a) Each Category has four basic questions that establish an overall level of capability for that subject.
1. Evidence
a. Supplier must provide visual or written proof that the system in question exists and is defined.
b. All documents affecting plant systems should be reviewed and approved prior to use.
c. System documentation should be readily available and understood by those implementing the process.
2. Adequate
a. This portion defines Lear expectations of a satisfactory process/system. If all areas are met a 'solid' score (2) can be awarded.
b. In order for a score of 2 to be earned in the 'Adequate' portion, a written document of the system should exist.
3. Deployed
a. Determine if the Supplier uses this system through out their facility where applicable.
b. Communication of the system should be found near or around each area where the system would be used.
4. Measure
a. The Supplier should have a method of measuring the success of each system, in some cases one metric may show the results of
multiple systems. (i.e. KPIs, external PPM's.)
When scoring the first portion of each section 'Evidence,' the Auditor should answer 1 of 3 ways: -"Y" for yes that there is evidence of the system, -"N"
for no = inadequate evidence of a system, or - "X" for Not Applicable; in rare instances when the supplier may not need the system based on the product
or processes.
CRITICAL NOTE: If the Lear auditor identifies any area as 'Not Applicable' (X); an explanation of why that category is Not Applicable should be included in
the appropriate section of the 'Auditor Notes' tab.
The other three portions of each category; Adequate, Deployed and Measured should be scored on a 0, 1, or 2 basis.
Adequate
0 = Does not meet guidelines
1 = Meets some guidelines
2 = Meets all guidelines
Deployed
0 = Not Adequately deployed
1 = Deployed in some areas
2 = Deployed in all or most applicable areas
Measure
0 = No system of measuring
1 = Can measure but is not attaining goals
2 = Measuring and attaining goals
Scoring Box: The scoring box is to the right of each question. The scoring box is where each auditor rating is entered. Scoring boxes that are grayed out
means that question does not need to be evaluated and may be skipped.
1.0 -Management
The management section reviews the overall critical elements of managing efficient on-going production.
1) Metric System
This system is to ensure Management uses data in their decision making, target setting, and planning. The metrics used may vary for each division
or organization; but should provide management a method to assess current, future, and past performance.
2) Communication System
Each company should have a method to distribute information on the status of the facility based on the metrics used by management. The
communication should flow from top down in order to promote goals and continuous improvement. If communication is used properly, positive
trends should be seen in the metrics.
3) Organization Structure
Every company should contain an organizational chart that depicts positions and personnel names for each position. Each position should have a
title and list of responsibilities for the person filling that position. A well-defined organizational chart can reduce conflicts and tension between
employees/departments as well as creates a chain of communication and authority.
Introduction
Page 5 of 45 Printed: 05/03/2025
880214861.xlsx
4) Business Conduct and Compliance
Lear is committed to conducting business ethically and with integrity throughout the global supply chain. Lear requires all suppliers to have an ethics
program in place consistent with Lear’s “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics” and to adhere to all applicable Lear Compliance Policies as set forth
at www.lear.com.
5) Environmental Management
A systematic, documented, and objective assessment of conditions, operations, and practices of a business or facility for the purpose of verifying
compliance with environmental protection statutory and regulatory requirements. ISO 14001 should be followed.
6) Loss Prevention
A loss prevention program should be in place at all suppliers to 1) prevent catastrophic loss; 2) plan for significant production interrupting events
(including 'acts of God'); and 3) recover from incidents to protect their customers' production.
The hot work permit program is for all processes using extreme heat or fire (e.g., torch welding and cutting).
2.0 -Quality
This section is directed toward the basic systems that contribute to Quality Control of product and process.
3.0 -Production
The Production section examines the processes that drive and control the production environment.
1) Process Control
A system that monitors the processes to ensure the consistent production of conforming product and warns when the system is not in control. These
controls may include Process Setup Sheets, First Piece Inspection, or Control Charts. Each of these three systems focus on specific areas; Process setup
sheets focus on before the process is running, First Piece inspection checks that the process can make acceptable product, and Control Charts can
monitor results over time. A documented Control Plan must exist and be followed.
2) Manufacturing Metrics
A key to managing and controlling production processes is data. This data can take many forms (e.g., Operational Equipment Effectiveness (OEE),
Efficiencies, Parts Per Million (PPM), scrap, customer scorecards, etc.). These metrics combine key pieces of data in order to show the status of production
processes. Key manufacturing metrics should be communicated to everyone involved in the process. Operators should understand what these metrics
represent and whether the teams are meeting objectives or not. This can help employees involved in the process to better control or improve the process
as required.
3) Disciplined Problem Solving
Introduction
Page 6 of 45 Printed: 05/03/2025
880214861.xlsx
Problem identification, investigation, and correction is a cornerstone of an effective organization. Externally identified and Internal problems should be
documented with at least: Immediate Corrective Actions, Root Cause identification, Permanent Corrective Actions, Verification of Corrective Actions, and
Preventative actions. Multidisciplined problem solving teams should include operators. The problem solving team should use the 5-Why methodology to
ask, "why this happened?" as many times as it takes to identify the 'true' root cause. Note: Sole reliance on 'Operator Training' is not an acceptable
Permanent Corrective Action.
4) Training
Most processes require the human factor; to help control the processes training should be implemented. Training provides employees with the basic
knowledge and confidence to perform specific tasks to eliminate or reduce costly mistakes. A system should be established that ensures employees are
trained on the tasks they are responsible for on an ongoing basis.
5) Process and Product Improvement
Process and products require to be audit and improved to guarantee that customer needs are fulfilled, auditing process should be defined to improve
their control and performance, products should be monitoring regularly to confirm all specification are satisfied.
6) By-pass control for SC/CC
Organization has procedure to control all SC/CC requirements and includes process to avoid controls by-passed.
4.0 -Materials
This section reviews activities related to Materials Planning, Management, and Control.
5.0 -Engineering
This section reviews other processes for proactive planning, analysis, and improvement.
1) Process Planning
Historically in the automotive industry the Process Failure Mode Effects Analysis (PFMEA), and Control Plan have been the staple in process planning
and control. This system provides a vehicle for transferring knowledge from similar processes to new ones and establishes a format to record lessons
learned in order to control the process. APQP process should be used for product and process development.
2) Variation Reduction
Variation reduction is important in improving processes by eliminating waste or defining new ways to control a process. It is important that a system
be in place to collect data, analyze the data, and implement improvements. Operators should be involved.
3) Lean Manufacturing Systems
This system is vital to remove excess wastes within the manufacturing process as well as aiding in the management of the process. Although Lean
Manufacturing is considered a Continuous Improvement tool, it is valuable enough to include as a separate requirement in the manufacturing management
processes. 5-S is included here.
4) Measurement Capabilities
Supplier should have the capabilities to measure all required dimensions for parts produced. Gauges must be controlled and certified. Performance
testing should be completed in an accredited laboratory.
5) Product Integrity
Safety related product and process characteristics must be monitored appropriately to ensure part performance.
Introduction
Page 7 of 45 Printed: 05/03/2025
880214861.xlsx
6) Change Control
A critically important aspect of manufacturing is to properly plan, authorize, implement, and validate changes. This system should focus on the
organization's ability to asses, communicate, and execute changes within the facility as well as controlling changes at sub-suppliers. The Production Part
Approval Process (PPAP) Section 3 must be followed for Customer Notification and Approval of changes and the Lear SCR (Supplier Change Request) must
be used to communicate proposed changes to Lear (see Lear.com).
7.0 -Maintenance
Manufacturing processes require equipment in order to produce products. Maintaining this equipment is important as non-functioning
equipment leads to costly downtime during production. A preventative maintenance program should plan how often equipment needs to receive
maintenance based on manufacturers recommendations or historical lessons learned. A Total Predictive Maintenance (TPM) plan takes the next
step in preventing costly downtime by proactively identifying maintenance events and timing based on historical breakdown data.
1) Preventive Maintenance
Procedure about preventive maintenance must be in place and followed by the organization, including all resources needed.
2) Corrective Maintenance
The organization must define an improvement activities to reduce downtime by tracking their breakdowns and define actions required
according to the organization targets.
3) Backup and Spare Parts
Well control of the tooling historical data and their required spare system should be clearly define and maintain to procure reduce at minimum
loss time in the operation.
4) Tooling
All equipment status should be known by the organization, including their modifications, customer property, lifetime and its capacity.
5) CC/SC Equipment
Special care of all equipment affecting the SC/CC specification is in place to guarantee it conformity and also the customer satisfaction.
6) TPM
Supplier should confirm that all actions are focus to maintain an high degree of efficiency in the organization and also involve all levels of the
company to the equipment care.

SUPPLIER BUSINESS PROCESS DESCRIPTIONS ◄
Suppliers to Lear Corporation are required to implement a quality system using the process approach as defined in IATF-16949 and ISO 9001. Lear Corporation recognizes ISO 9001:2015
as the first step toward implementing adequate systems and is required for suppliers that manufacture parts, or provide a service that ends up in the final vehicle assembly.
For suppliers who do not have resources available to support the implementation of a IATF-16949 registered quality system, Lear requires the supplier to document at least the following
business processes: Sales, Development, Manufacturing, Quality, and Delivery. The intent is to ensure critical functions strive to meet the intent IATF-16949 and/or ISO 9001. The
process approach should be used to define the inputs, outputs, and performance indicators (metrics) for each critical process.
