We have had, for rather many years, some documents in the Supplier Portal that explain our requirements towards our suppliers. One is called "Key Elements" and another is "Purchasing Quality Procedures, PQP". The PQP's have now been reviewed, updated and re-structured to follow the layout of the Key Elements.
Hence, we have merged the 14 PQP's to 7 procedures that will be re-named them to "Key Element Procedures". One Procedure for each Key Element. By this change we have connected our requirements more naturally to each other.
The Key Elements and the Procedures are valid for the Volvo Group.
Please see the Key Elements and the Procedures via this link.
