1-3 What documents are annexed to the order?

1-4 What information must the order acknowledgement include?

1-5 Within what maximum time must I return the order acknowledgement?

2 – PRODUCTION

Good reflexes to have during production:

1 – Request written authorisation from Novelis PAE for any modification of a reference or manufacturing process
2 – Request written exemption in the event of a manufacturing difference
3 – Send delivery notes endorsed by the date and the receiver’s name for parts supplied by Novelis PAE
4 – Warn Novelis PAE as early as possible and in writing of any foreseen delay.
5 – All these requests must be forwarded to the Project Manager.

2-1 The trade reference is equivalent to the one ordered. Since it’s an equivalent item, do I need to warn Novelis PAE?

2-2 The drawing shows a weld but I prefer to manufacture this part by folding. My solution seems better but do I ask for Novelis PAE authorisation?

2-3 This part has residual oxy-acetylene burn marks that do not affect its operation. Do I warn Novelis PAE?

2-4 One month before the delivery date, I foresee a week’s delay. A week is not much, do I need to warn Novelis PAE?

2-5 Do I decide to warn the Design Office Manager to validate modifications?

3 – PRE-ACCEPTANCE

Pre-acceptance is performed by the supplier. For successful pre-acceptance:

1 – Assemblies must be complete and assembled as far as possible. Manufacturer and EC identification plates must be affixed and engraved
2 – Assemblies must be clean (oil, grease, marks, chips, weld splatter, etc.)
3 – Parts or unassembled or unmounted assemblies must be grouped together for each machine
4 – Individual labelling for each machine with Novelis PAE numbers of unassembled or unmounted parts
5 – Unmounted fixings must be sorted by machine and must be identified
6 – Results of these inspections must be entered on the inspection report, photos must be included and everything must be returned to the Project Manager.
An acceptance inspection by Novelis PAE cannot take place without having previously forwarded the inspection report and photos of the assembly to the Project Manager.

3-2 Is it compulsory to fix and engrave manufacturer and EC identification plates for pre-acceptance?

3-3 I must supply a set of screws, which cannot be installed on the equipment.

3-4 I must fill in an inspection report. Should I wait for the Novelis PAE inspector to fill it in with him?

3-5 Sending photos before Novelis PAE acceptance can solve problems and save time.

5 – LOGISTICS

Transportation must be prepared based on Novelis PAE instructions. PAE.
These instructions are provided in technical specification 000 601 ST1..

5-1 What are the Novelis PAE recommendations regarding protection of unpainted surfaces?

5-2 When can I have an equipment item shipped without a packing list?

5-3  Is there a specific Novelis PAE form for the packing list?

5-4 What must the packing list include?
