Re: Renault CSR - Identifying the difference between an ASES or ASAS-P audits
ASES - Alliance Supplier Evaluation Standard. This is used by Renault to evaluate a Supplier's QMS before approving them for Business. Normally, RFQ is floated to a Supplier only upon their clearing ASES ranks and subsequently getting into their approved supplier list.
ASAS-P is Alliance Supplier Audit Standard - P for Production. This is a kind of lighter version of ASES and used to audit the QMS sustenance of a supplier during mass production.
ANPQP is Alliance New Product Quality Procedure. This is Renault's equivalent of
APQP and applicable for all their Purchased parts. It defines requirements for Supplier from planning phase through SOP till end of product life. A Supplier is obligated through RFQ and Purchase agreements to follow these requirements.
