3.1.11 Mechatronics

Definition

A mechatronic supplier is a supplier that delivers to Autoliv, either in serial life or during development phase (prototypes / pre-production parts), components that contain electrical, electronic or software parts with or without mechanical integration of those components.

Common acronyms:

• SW - Software
• HW - Hardware
• WCCA - Worst Case Circuit Analysis
• BOM - Bill of Materials
• PCBA - Printed Circuit Board Assembly
• EMC - Electromagnetic  Compatibility

Requirements for Mechatronic Suppliers

General Requirements:

  • Comply with the requirements from Autoliv Supplier Manual section 3.1.10 Cyber Security
  • Confirm that all Cybersecurity activities are included in the project planning and management (TARA & Vulnerability analyses)
  • Customer specific requirements (OEM) are received, reviewed, and evaluated – CIA is released

Hardware:

• Supplier shall provide electrical schematic diagrams with component values, tolerances and name
• Supplier shall provide PCBA layout for all layers
• Supplier shall provide BOM for all components including the following:
  • All components that are part of the Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA)
  • Stand alone passive and/or active components
  • BOM shall contain:
    • Manufacturer part numbers
    • Country of origin of component, wafer fab (if applicable), packaging location (if applicable)
• Supplier shall provide datasheets for all components
• All components are active from the manufacturer
• All components must be automotive qualified
• Supplier shall perform Worst Case Circuit Analysis (WCCA) and ensure component margins are <%90 or obtain a deviation from the responsible Autoliv engineer

Software:

• In regard to ASPICE standard compliance supplier must provide:
  • During nomination phase:
    • An assessment report(s) performed by an external assessor on previous project with similar products and on the same development teams and location that shall not be older than 2 years from the date of RFQ submission and demonstrates Level 2 capability (for all processes, tasks and activities under the responsibility of the supplier)
    • If the certificate shows deviations from the required capability level, an improvement plan to address the deviations shall be presented to Autoliv
    • If no assessment has been performed, the Supplier shall provide to Autoliv its Process Improvement Plan for targeting an assessment with the target Capability Level 2 (for all processes, tasks, and activities under the responsibility of the supplier)
  • During project development:
    • Plan the relevant activities during the project development activities in order to reach the agreed ASPICE level (for all processes, tasks and activities under the responsibility of the supplier)
    • Allow Autoliv and/or third-party assessments during the project development in order to assess the ASPICE levels at different stages during the development
    • If the ASPICE assessment shows deviations from the required capability level, an improvement plan to address the deviations shall be presented to Autoliv
  • The assessments shall be carried out according to ISO / IEC 33002 with the following requirements being fulfilled:
    • PAM Name & Version: Automotive SPICE v4.0 or higher
    • Guideline name: Automotive SPICE Guidelines for ASPICE v4.0
    • Process Context Category: B (entire product /delivery)
    • Category of independence: A,B
    • Purpose: Identifying and reducing process related product risks (SPICE Guideline V4.0 section 1.2)
  • In the case of cybersecurity, the supplier has also achieved A-SPICE level 2 for the SEC Scope (for all processes, tasks, and activities under the responsibility of the supplier)
• Source code developed by the supplier shall comply with MISRA C:2012
• The supplier shall provide SW architecture documentation (if safety requirements present, safety impacted components shall be identifiable in the SW architecture)
• The supplier shall provide Autoliv requirements coverage matrices
• The supplier shall provide a release note for each SW release including:
  • SW identification and compatibilities (HW/SW for example)
  • Implemented features / corrected bugs on the SW version
  • Known issues
  • Resources consumption (memory, CPU, stack)
  • Status of tests (unit tests, integration tests, qualification tests) including requirements coverage rate
  • Static analysis report
  • Compiler warning list
• The supplier shall provide/present (on request only) any SW technical document requested by Autoliv (Detailed design, safety analysis, code…)
• If not covered by ASPICE assessment on SUP.8, the supplier shall present their configuration management plan and tools used to manage versions and change control

Manufacturing

Must comply with the applicable S-MPSs related to their process e.g., SMPS-030 and with the ALV-S069 special process assessments.
