Are there any specific procedures or guidelines to comply with the requirements of Ford Q1 with regards to Prototype and child parts traceability and/or documentation?

I'm not aware of any but its been a while since I've worked on a Ford project at prototype level.

I just found this site. So here it goes. Ford has a extensive book on prototyping that ends in packaging requirements. On Reporting and tracability an Inspection Report Package is prepared containing 1) PPQI Data Summary 2) Modified ISR 3) Marked-up Blue print. In a nut shell all parts must be 100% checked as per agreed upon, and all the data of the completed part and it's components (with warrants) must be sent to the SQA/SQI engineer. All parts are also serialized for tracing. Believe it or not once you follow these guidelines if used properly it can be a great benifit to both companies.
