<p> SECTION 2.12 - COLOR & GRAIN APPROVAL ACTIVITIES ***** PRODUCTION PREPARATION *****</p><p>PURPOSE: To ensure that the established part color and grain requirements defined by REYES & Toyota Design are met.</p><p>TIMING:From production preparation sample submission through the life of the part.</p><p>REQUIREMENTS:</p><p>All color and grain approvals must be achieved prior to mass production line fill and in accordance to the REYES Master Schedule and SPMP. Any change from the approved schedule and plan must be communicated to and approved by REYES Quality.</p><p>I. Color Approval Requirements</p><p>1. The supplier is responsible for developing the color with the raw material supplier and confirming the color to standards prior to REYES Quality review, reference Flow Chart 2.12 -1 for details.</p><p>2. The supplier must provide visual and colorimeter data showing parts achieve color standards or boundary samples including their judgment. The data is to be recorded on the Color / Grain Matching Follow Sheet.</p><p>3. The numerical data forms a basis for benchmarking and tracking process variation. Preference should be given to the scale, which best replicates,</p><p> the visual technique (L*a*b* , L*C*h* , CMC, etc.).</p><p>4. Visual color matching activity utilizing mating parts, components, etc. is the final or ultimate decision making method as to standard to target achievement and tuning or adjustment direction.</p><p>5. Unless otherwise indicated by REYES Quality, the supplier must attach a Color Matching Follow Sheet to the part submission and provide to REYES Quality per the timing indicated on the REYES Master Schedule and SPMP.</p><p>6. Suppliers are required to request their master color / grain plaques through REYES Quality, concerns regarding color / grain plaques should be directed to REYES Quality, as well.</p><p>7. It is the supplier’s responsibility to establish a color and gloss management program which controls part variation and sub-supplier Revision 1 Reyes Automotive Group Section 2.12 March 2006 San Antonio, TX Page 1 of 5 SECTION 2.12 - COLOR & GRAIN APPROVAL ACTIVITIES ***** PRODUCTION PREPARATION *****</p><p> quality (i.e. part and material variation).

Supplier Color Standards 7) At each color matching meeting REYES Quality will give supplier instructions for the next meeting.</p><p>Note: 1) Visual color matching is the ultimate controlling method. 2) Numerical data is the basis for benchmarking</p><p>II. Grain Approval Requirements</p><p>1. REYES or Toyota Design may issue an ECI to change the grain instruction based on review of the Grain Memo, reference Flow Chart 2.12 - 2 for details.</p><p>2. REYES Quality will issue a Grain Authorization Sheet to the supplier when: a. Production preparation samples satisfy all dimensional, appearance, and fit requirements, for both individual parts and upon assembly into the completed vehicle. b. No further changes will be made or are planned to materials or mold (cavity side).</p><p>3. The supplier can initiate graining of the tool, mold, die, etc. only after receiving a Grain Authorization Sheet from REYES Quality.</p><p>4. The supplier must review the Grain Authorization Sheet adding the date by which grained parts will be provided to REYES Quality for approval, then sign the sheet and return it to REYES Quality by the date indicated.</p><p>5. The supplier must request grain approval using the Color / Grain Matching Follow Sheet from REYES Quality as indicated on the SPMP and in advance of mass production line fill.</p><p>6. The supplier must only utilize a REYES or Toyota approved graining source and should consult with the related REYES or Toyota Design Engineer regarding their choice.</p><p>7. Grained parts from all mold cavities must have REYES Quality approval.
