Scoring Summary Worksheets
A
1) Compliance to all F3 criteria
2) Non-compliance to fewer than 10 F2 criteria
3) A total score of 90% or higher
The organization is compliant in all key criteria and can demonstrate that the supply chain
management processes in use at the facility are best practice. Annual assessments are
carried out with the goal of ensuring sustainable and best practice processes. In support of
continual improvement, the development of an action plan should be considered in order to
eliminate any remaining unmet criteria.
B
1) Compliance to all F3 criteria
2) Non-compliance of 10 to 15 F2 criteria
3) A total score greater than or equal to 75% and
less than 90%
Although most of the fundamentals of supply chain management are demonstrated, the
organization is deficient in several areas that compromises the efficiency of internal
performance and may impact its ability to support the needs of the customer. An action plan
should be developed and implemented in a timeframe that meets the needs of the business
and its customer(s).
C
1) Non-compliance to any F3 criterion
2) Non-compliance to 16 or more F2 criteria
3) A total score less than 75%
The organization is deficient in one or more key areas of supply chain management. This
situation creates a high risk of disruption to customers and demonstrates a lack of efficiency
and control of internal processes within the existing supply chain strategy. Management
commitment will be required to create, prioritize and implement action plans in a timely
manner to avoid serious or prolonged issues with the customer.

Ford’s Commitment to MMOG/LE
Ford MP&L
adopted MMOG/LE
as a
Q1
endorsement
criteria in August
2001. Suppliers
must score a level
“A” on the
MMOG/LE
Assessment to
receive and
maintain the
MP&L’s
endorsement for
Q1.
Supplier
must
reassess
their
organization
Annually.
MMOG/LE is a global assessment
and should include all regions
supplied for production and
service.
When suppliers complete their
reassessment, GSDB online
must be updated with the
results between May 1st and July
31st, annually.
A missing, expired, or other
than Level A MMOG/LE
Classification in GSDB Online
will result in penalization in the
Q1 score (SIM will show the last
updated date).

Risk Identification
The causes for supply disruption are numerous and suppliers will ultimately be
held accountable for how they manage their operation and mitigate risk to
their customer and sub-suppliers.
There are essentially three ways a
supplier could start to manage risk:
1. Identify risk through supplier
mapping for all regional ship
points.
2. Perform a impact assessment
to identify problem points
3. Mitigate risk by continuously
monitoring to resolve issues

Lead Region
The old process…
Suppliers had to submit their petition to each region they
supplied.
Global Q1 requirements matrix
Now, the suppliers MANUFACTURING location determines the lead
region, and the lead region reviews the petition on behalf of the
global team.
Copyright © 2016 Ford Motor Company. All rights reserved.
Q1 Target Date
The STA target date is used to manage request
for MP&L Endorsement and balance work-flow.
A suppliers should only submit a request
for a Q1 Pre-screening within the 90-100 day guideline.
Copyright © 2016 Ford Motor Company. All rights reserved.
The Purpose of Q1 Pre-Screening
It is the intent of the Supplier Performance Management
Group (SMPG) to assist suppliers in becoming a Q1 supplier to
Ford.
The MP&L endorsement does not validate a suppliers QUALITY
system, but considers whether or not their DELIVERY
operations and internal systems support best in class Supply
Chain Management (SCM) practices for doing business with
Ford.
The SMPG team works to support a supplier in achieving
MP&L endorsement no later than 30 days from upload to a
secured Q1 SharePoint site.
Copyright © 2016 Ford Motor Company. All rights reserved.
30-Day Rule!
The Ford reviewer has 30 days to process a petition.
 With in this period, the Ford reviewer provides feedback in evidence and
makes recommendations for achieving compliance.
 By day 27, any revised documentation is considered for further review
(refer to Timing outline in Q1 Documents).
 If evidence satisfies MMOG guideline and Ford evidence requirements, supplier
will obtain the MP&L endorsement.
 If supplier evidence is non-compliant to meeting these expectations, supplier
resubmits evidence for open issues and starts a new 30 day review.
 The goal is to improve a suppliers first time through (FTT) success in achieving
Q1 MP&L endorsement.
 Prior to Q1 Initiative our FTT rate was 23%
 In 2016, FTT improved by 33% to 56% by including Q1 Pre-screening.

Q1 Eligibility guideline for MP&L Endorsement
There is no change in Eligibility requirements:
 Suppliers must meet the minimum delivery rating requirements:
 The six month weighted average (6MWA) for each active region
shall be greater than or equal to 81 (as displayed in SUPER-G).
 The three most recent monthly delivery ratings (two mature
months and the immature rating) shall all be greater than or equal
to 81 for all associated ship sites.
 At least one currently active ship site must have at least six months
of delivery ratings (for one or more regions shipping product).
 The Material Management Operations Guideline / Logistics
Evaluation (MMOG/LE) classification must be level "A".
 Suppliers must use the latest MMOG/LE version (v4 )dated
March 2014.
 Suppliers must utilize the Direct Data Link (DDL or eDDL) CMMS3
Copyright © 2016 Ford Motor Company. All rights reserved.
system.
Q1 Eligibility guideline for MP&L Endorsement…continued
Timing: sequence steps for contacting, scheduling, screening and review of
evidence
In February 2017, SMPG established [email protected] mailbox for
screening request and questions regarding MMOG and MP&L
Endorsement.
All evidence submissions will be measured for compliancy against the MMOG
standard, and evaluated based on how thoroughly a work instruction
captures the reasoning of assessment and “customer specific systems” as
outlined in the ‘Q1 MPL Requirements Checklist’.

Keys to successful petitioning - MP&L Endorsement
Training and Preparation
 Suppliers are more successful if they had formal MMOG/LE training via
Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) either in a class room session
or on-line (within one year of petitioning).
 Suppliers are more successful if they have attended Ford MPL and FCSD
Delivery Rating Training for Q1 prior to requesting MP&L endorsement.
 Suppliers are more successful if there is a dedicated team to support
evidence and data collection from all Supply Chain disciplines within their
organization.
The MP&L Endorsement will only be issued to suppliers who can
demonstrate that they have sustainability built into their MP&L processes,
and in alignment with the standards set forth by MMOG/LE guideline and
Ford “customer specific systems, application and processes”.

MP&L Petition Package Preparation
The intent of the Q1 MP&L Petition Review is to validate the organization
has sustainability built into their SCM processes to support their overall
business objectives, as well as to verify the organization has a
comprehensive knowledge of Ford’s MP&L and delivery requirements.
When completing the internal MMOG/LE assessment, the Assessor
should take into account a number of factors when deciding whether the
organization is compliant with a criterion:
• Is the process aligned with the organization’s overall business objectives?
• Is the process understood by all applicable personnel?
• Is the process being followed as documented?
• Are there measurable results?
• Does the output consistently deliver the required or expected outcome?
Suppliers are required to complete their own MMOG/LE
review in preparation for petitioning for the Ford MP&L
39
Endorsement.
MP&L Petition Package Preparation…continuation
Q1 Readiness Submission Outline (Q1SRO)
It is a supplier responsibility to ensure their
Q1 Package for MP&L endorsement is
organized and includes ALL applicable
administrative forms and evidence at time of
Q1 Pre-screening for each criterion to confirm
supplier readiness.
The lead representative MUST ensure
evidence supports their organization current
state and customer requirement for each
criteria; and evidence is within each
applicable criteria and respective sub-folder
before presenting to Ford Reviewer.
MP&L Petition Package Preparation…continuation
 The Global Q1 Petition Checklist section provides a list of
MMOG/LE criteria requiring objective evidence.
 Note all Ford requirements are listed, but suppliers must also
provide evidence that supports compliance to the MMOG
criteria.
The Ford Reviewer interprets evidence as:
1. Green
2. Yellow
3. Red
(complete),
(incomplete)
(non-Compliant).
A supplier is expected to provide a documented process which
communicates a detail work instruction tailored to their customers’ business
system or application.
ROBUST and supported by print screens, web link (s) and providing direction
on “how to process or access” a specific system or application.
Note: Instructions that are vague without sufficient detail can be classified as
missing information, non-compliant and/or not robust.

Lessons Learned
Best Practices for Maintaining High Delivery Performance
Train personnel to ensure that there is a clear understanding of all Ford’s MP&L requirements as outlined in:
•MP&L Supplier Reference Guide
•Supplier Delivery Performance Manual
•Materials Management Operations Guidelines
•Ford Global Terms & Conditions
At least 1 primary and 1 back-up employee should be formally trained on the Ford (e)DDL CMMS3 System and at least 1
employee trained on each shift.
Monitor (e)DDL daily as required and log all issues at the time of occurrence (e.g. via a Ford Daily Checklist).
•Maintain print screens to support that you are monitoring all key DDL screens (e.g. JBBW/JBBA, VABW/VABA, SVBW/SVBA) as required. These print screens can be
utilized in case a dispute is required.
•For additional information regarding CMMS3 supplier responsibilities, reference CMMS3 (eDDL/DDL) for Ford Production Suppliers Module 3: Daily Requirements
manual.
Monitor Ford (e)DDL CMMS3 and MP&L-in-a-Box bulletin boards daily for updated supplier information.
Monitor Month-to-Date ratings for the prior weeks shipments which are available each Sunday after 10 am in SUPER-G.
Suppliers should review the Month-to-Date rating and begin the initial stage of understanding the problems to prevent
reoccurrences throughout the month. Use the Month-To Date rating to Dispute The Delivery Rating.
Lessons Learned
Best Practices for Maintaining High Delivery Performance
Review Global Logistics Shipping Instructions (GSLI) website (https://web.mplb2b.ford.com/shipping/cgibin/index.cgi) regularly to verify if there are changes to your shipping instructions.
After transmitting an ASN:
•Verify that the 997 has been received
•Check the Ford (e)DDLL AJAW/AJAA (ASN Journal) to verify the ASN actually posted to (e)DDL.
•Review the Ford (e)DDL AJAW/AJAA (ASN Journal) and ADAW/ADAA (ASN History) screens for ASN Timeliness and ASN Accuracy errors.
•Review the Ford (e)DDL SVBW/SVBA screen to check for Cum Disagrees
Develop Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) that identify and track material/delivery issues.
Ensure at least 3 or more people are aware of all key events (e.g. annual updates for Supplier Delivery Contact
(SDC), FBBA Contacts, MMOG, BTIA) and are alerted (e.g. through calendar notifications) when dates are
approaching.
Utilize MMOG/LE as a tool to identify opportunities to improve MP&L processes and develop action plans to close
the gaps.
Develop well documented work instructions that clearly integrate Ford’s MP&L requirements, including
information on how to access Ford’s manuals and documents.
Summary of Changes by Ford MP&L Global Team
 Global compliance by Ford Regions: FNA, FOE, FAP, and FSA.
 Global Matrix: Compares each regions MP&L requirement and distinguishes
unique processes indigenous to each location.
 Lead Region (manufacturing site):
 Suppliers petition where it’s manufacturing location resides
 Suppliers no longer petitions each region for endorsement. Single endorsement
covers all regional ship locations.
 Expressed Intent to petition: New suppliers and resubmissions
 Supplier or STA can submit a request on behalf of manufacturing site.
 Supplier is responsible for ensuring readiness before pre-screening.
 Target date alignment: 90-100 days prior to request for Q1 Pre-screening
 Timing should be a realistic date for achieving endorsement
 Ford Reviewer considers a suppliers Target date for prioritizing request and
balancing (work-flow) request.
 STA will be required to ensure Target date is established in SIM
 Supplier will need to confirm Target timing before petitioning
 Q1 Pre-screening: Scheduled via a WebEx meeting
 Q1 SharePoint Site:. The Q1SPS is a centralized location for suppliers to manage
their Q1 Petition submission (package) with in a secured environment based on their
Covisint (FSP) access and FSN ID.

The Q1 SharePoint site is establish by manufacturing location and used for information sharing
between Ford’s Global MP&L team and suppliers petitioning for MP&L Endorsement
