Workflow
1. Packaging Instruction

TRW will inform you of which packaging to use (packaging instruction). If any questions please contact your responsible
person at TRW Koblenz.

In the below mentioned link, you can find the standard packaging catalogue offered by Volvo Logistics. The system offers
many different types of packaging with a big variety of different dimensions. On the first pages, you will find an overview
sheet with all the inner and outer dimensions of the different packaging configurations.

2. Sign-on to the Volvo Logistics packaging system

The next step is for the individual suppliers’ plant(s) to sign on to the Volvo Logistics packaging system by means of the
Volvo Logistics User Contract.

The new user implementation process involves some steps and actions to be taken. Including in this mail is the established
process for new user registration in the Volvo Logistics packaging system (see attached New User Implementation
process).

Once Volvo Logistics has received information from TRW, Volvo Logistics will initiate the process for registering your
company into the system. After receiving the User Information form, a unique packaging account number is assigned and a
User Contract with this number will be sent to you together with a user-id and password for the self-learning program for the
Volvo Logistics packaging system. When you have signed the User Contract and completed the Self-learning program your
account will be active in our system enabling you to order, use, register and control your packaging. All ordering,
movement declaration and inventories are done over the internet, via the Volvo Logistics web portal.

If you already have a packaging account with Volvo Logistics then Volvo Logistics would still need TRW to give a volume
indication of the packaging you will use for any new flow(s).

In case of any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us and we’ll be back to you as soon as possible.

Ordering, transferring and registration II

The interplay between ordering, transferring and registration is described step-by-step

1.
Suppliers order empty packaging via a web-application on the Internet. If the order for some reason cannot be
registered on the Internet, it can be placed by e-mail or by fax.

2.
VLC Emballage orders transport from VLC hauliers.

3.
Haulier confirms transport to VLC Emballage.

4.
Haulier picks up and delivers empty packaging to supplier and VLC Emballage adjusts the account balance via
the web-application/ V-EMS.

5.
Packaging filled with components is sent to customer plant. The supplier registers the transfers via Internet and
the account balance is adjusted.

6.
Packaging is sorted, cleaned and repacked by Customer plant into unit load.

7.
TRW designated Haulier picks up the empty packaging at Customer plants and delivers empty packaging to
depot. The releasing plant registers the transfers via Internet to VLC Emballage and the balance is adjusted.

The supplier can continuously follow all changes of status for their packaging account via Internet.
