1 General aspects

1.1 Target and validity of the guidelines

The supplier shall be informed in detail about the logistics requirements of the customer REHAU. The aim is to

organise the smooth process, to strengthen the relationship between the partners and to minimise the costs. The

guideline shall be applicable all over the world for all suppliers and deliveries. Wherever possible, country-specific

requirements have been taken into consideration whilst setting up these guidelines. By sending the offer the sup-

plier commits to complying with the REHAU logistics requirements.

1.2 Contact

In case of general questions on the logistics guidelines, please get in touch with the

purchasing centre in Muri, Switzerland: Mr von Richthofen Telephone: +41 (31) 950 3449 Hubertus.vonrichthofen@rehau.com or with the Logistics Planning Department in Rehau, Germany: Mr Strasser Telephone: +49 (9283) 77 1686 Christian.Strasser@rehau.com For the respective project-specific logistics planner, please refer to the respective enquiry documents.

1.3 General requirements on the supplier

As a competitive factor, logistics are an important key to economic success. Correspondingly it is self-evident for

REHAU to set up and optimise reliable and efficient logistics processes with the suppliers. REHAU pursues the

goal of the goods being received in the right quantity, at the right costs, in the right type and quality at the right time,

at the right place and recipient. For this reason, it is of importance to REHAU that the logistics of the partners and

their delivery chain are set up according to standardised basic principles. The communication between the supplier

and REHAU forms the basis for a functioning co-operation in this respect.

1.3.1 Reporting requirements

If the supplier wants to carry out changes on the points mentioned hereinafter, this fact has to be indicated to the

contacts mentioned in chapter 1.2 as promptly as possible. In parts this may mean a renewed approval process by

REHAU.

Changes in the defined delivery times, deadlines, periods or -sequences.

Change of the production location or of the shipping plant.

Change of IT system.

Changes of operational logistics structures.

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 7

Changes on the product and/or the packaging.

1.3.2 Organisation

The supplier shall have to ensure that

independently and without additional reminders, a detailed time schedule is set up for all milestones for

the implementation of the requested deadline significant for the project handling. The supplier is respon-

sible for updates and the flow of information.

at least one contact is nominated for technical matters and quality questions as well as a competent rep-

resentative who is authorised to take decisions and who is available at any time during the office hours.

Upon request of REHAU a project team with project members is nominated for all relevant fields.

for special actions outside office hours a competent contact is available and that his or her accessibility is

ensured.

between the supplier and the competent REHAU contact regular written reports can be exchanged which

are maintained at least until the series release by REHAU.

all communication with REHAU is carried out in German or English language.

the data exchange between the two parties can be carried out electronically (cf. chapter 5 DFÜ / EDI).

the planned needs of REHAU are met.

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 8

2 Packaging

2.1 General requirements

REHAU attaches importance to the fact that the following points are taken into consideration in the selection of a

suitable packaging:

Protection of the parts

Costs for packaging and handling

Avoidance of waste of packaging redundance

Job safety and environmental protection

Suitability for storage

Suitability for loading and transport

High packaging density

The supplier shall have to carry out the development of the packaging independently. The packaging shall have

to be developed in such a way that the articles can be processed in a qualitatively perfect condition throughout

the entire process. In the process, all country-specific regulations in the countries of dispatch, transit and destina-

tion shall have to be observed and the means of transport (heavy goods vehicle, overseas container) used shall

have to be used to optimal capacity. Further, the packaging concept has to be discussed and agreed. The coding

of the transfer of electronic delivery data has to be discussed and agreed as well (Contacts, please see chapter

5.2)

If a product is supplied to various REHAU plants (such as to Germany and the USA), REHAU shall reserve the

right to request from the supplier different packaging for the delivery of the respective plants.

The supplier shall ensure that the costs offered include the presentation of a sample container including parts for

every location mentioned in the enquiry of REHAU for approval of the packaging.

In case of the packaging of purchased parts, REHAU differentiates between concept approval, which may be

based on a presentation as well, and the approval of the packaging which shall be based on a sample packaging

including parts.

The sample packaging shall be presented to REHAU in harmonisation with the logistics planner, and the approval

of the packaging shall be obtained.

If a part shall be used in various REHAU locations, this may mean potentially also a separate sample packaging

for each location. In keeping with the separately harmonised project time schedule, the packaging shall have to

be rendered available to the project in due time.

The packaging approval shall permit the supplier to purchase the packaging for series production.

Without further request, the supplier shall provide evidence for the containers paid by REHAU.

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 9

The packaging for REHAU plants shall have to fulfil certain requirements. They shall be defined in greater detail

in the next chapters. The responsibility for the qualitative suitability of the packaging shall continue to be with the

supplier even after their approval by REHAU. The approval for the packaging is specific to the plant and the pro-

ject. In the event of a plant change during the series process, the supplier must again obtain the approval of the

plant that is now responsible. REHAU reserves the right to carry out container changes in coordination with the

supplier or for well-justified reasons.

If the supplier should violate the agreement reached, REHAU reserves the right to charge the supplier with the

expenses resulting thereof. Further points are stipulated in chapter 12 titled “Financial consequences in case of

violations”.

2.2 Definition of permissible materials, packaging height and maximum weight

The document titled “Requirement catalogue - packaging” (Enclosure 1) shall be decisive. In any case, the legal

requirements of the recipient country shall have precedence.

Packaging height / maximum weight:

The maximum permissible overall height of a loading unit shall be 1,000 mm. The said shall have to be strictly

observed, but shall not apply retroactively for awards already completed. Applicable as from enquiry for new pro-

jects!

For REHAU it is important to strictly observe the health and safety regulations. Independent of the type of packaging

(disposable and reusable packaging) the following maximum permissible gross weights shall have to be observed:

- Individual packaging / KLT max. 15 kg (30 lbs)

- Loading unit / pallet max. 1,000 kg

These specifications shall have to be strictly observed. Deviations shall have to be coordinated with the appropri-

ate logistics planner of REHAU, and may be implemented only after the written approval of the said.

2.3 Disposable and reusable packaging

In coordination with REHAU, suitable packaging shall have to be defined for every new product to be supplied. The

use of disposable and reusable packaging shall be based on economic considerations, and shall depend on the

location of the real production plant and the distance between the locations.

Disposable packaging shall have to be recyclable and shall be disposable without any effort because the said shall

not be returned. For construction and dimensions of the KLTs and loading units, please refer to the current “Re-

quirement catalogue - packaging” (Enclosure 1), in which additional permissible standard packaging for REHAU

plants have been listed. It is imperative that the disposable loading units are stackable (minimum 1+1) for transport

and storage. Single stacking must be coordinated with the appropriate logistics planner of REHAU.

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 10

Damage of the goods, which is the result of insufficient layout of the packaging, shall be borne by the supplier. The

smooth supply of the REHAU plants shall have top priority, and thus the on-time delivery of the products to REHAU

customers. Further points are stipulated in chapter 12 titled “Financial consequences in case of violations”.

In case of reusable containers, it shall have to be observed that

they can be emptied completely and are easy to clean.

they can be pooled (cf. Enclosure 1 titled “Requirement catalogue - packaging“).

repairs, replacement purchases and thus involved expenses shall be borne by the causer as a matter

of principle. If no assignment to a causer is possible, the costs for repair or thus involved expenses

shall be split 50:50 between REHAU and the supplier.

replacement containers and their inlays, if and when applicable, shall be charged at 100 % of the

replacement value. This arrangement shall apply for reusable packaging which are the property of

REHAU as well as for empties of third parties which cannot be returned by the supplier.

containers, which are not the property of the supplier, may be scrapped only with the written approval

of the appropriate logistics planner of REHAU.

for after-series and ETD needs the supplier shall be obligated to store containers temporarily in suffi-

cient quantity. The quantity shall have to be coordinated with the appropriate logistics planner of RE-

HAU.

Moreover it shall have to be observed that an ESD-compatible load carrier shall have to be used for the delivery of

ESD-endangered component parts.

During the construction of the packaging it shall have to be observed that another secondary packaging of individual

parts is avoided. A direct removal from the packaging shall be possible without any additional unpacking process.

The supplier shall have to ensure that the empties for surface-critical visible parts as well as for electronic compo-

nents are stored under a roof at least, and thus are not subjected to weather conditions. The packaging costs shall

include the costs for cleaning, maintenance and repair. The corresponding charges shall have to be corroborated

separately.

2.3.1 Preproduction series

Up to the use of the serial packaging agreed upon, the supplier solely shall be responsible for rendering available

to REHAU a suitable, safe and correct solution at his costs. All solutions must be approved by REHAU - at minimum

four weeks - prior to their use. In coordination with the appropriate logistics planner, this packaging for preproduction

series shall also serve as emergency concept / alternative packaging for the series. The common objective shall

be to provide the serial packaging for the delivery of the preproduction series already.

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 11

2.3.2 Series

As a matter of principle, series packaging (emergency concept and spare parts packaging as well) shall have to be

approved product-specifically by the Logistics Planning Department of REHAU in cooperation with all REHAU

plants involved. The delivery intervals shall be specified at material level by REHAU. The number of packaging

shall be planned in such a way that the planned reaches plus the quantity in transit are made. Further points are

stipulated in chapter 4 titled “Load carrier management”. Tool costs for special containers shall be offered to REHAU

separately.

As from approval, the delivery shall be made in the approved packaging. Deviations shall have to be correspond-

ingly indicated on the delivery note (such as emergency packaging, alternative container). In case of product

changes (type, shape of structural parts) the supplier shall be obligated to check the series containers available

and to adapt or replace them potentially in coordination with the responsible logistics planner.

2.3.3 Alternative packaging

Should series packaging agreed with REHAU be no longer available or only available in insufficient quantities in

the series process, the supplier requires alternative packaging which must be determined in cooperation with the

Logistics Planning Department of REHAU prior to the SOP. Importance is attached to the fact that this bottleneck

situation is an individual case and the use of an alternative packaging is a temporarily limited measure. However,

the supplier may not use any packaging that has not been approved by REHAU in advance. The proposed pack-

aging must always be approved of by the logistics planner of REHAU. It has to be ensured that the alternative

packaging meets the requirements of the products, and the goods are ideally protected in the alternative packaging

as well, so that no damage or encroachment occurs. These preventive measures shall avoid the reduction in quality.

The use of an alternative packaging shall be indicated to the empties manager in the Bought-in Goods Department

at the REHAU recipient plant in due time. If the supplier should violate the agreement reached, REHAU reserves

the right to charge the supplier with the expenses resulting thereof. Further points are stipulated in chapter 12 titled

“Financial consequences in case of violations”.

2.3.4 Special load carrier

Special load carriers may become necessary in case of excessive lengths, ocean transport, special cases (such

as liquids or coils), temperature-sensitive products or in case of hazardous materials in conformity with the latest

valid legal regulations. The use of special load carriers shall have to be coordinated with the appropriate logistics

planner of REHAU. The planning, development and construction of the special load carrier and alternative packag-

ing shall be carried out by the respective supplier. The said shall also bear the costs of planning, development and

construction. Acceptance and approval of the special load carrier shall be effected by REHAU.

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 12

2.4 Protective and transport function

Loading units shall have to withstand the loads occurring during the shipment process. The protective function and

thus the perfect transport function as well shall have to be ensured during the entire transport. The weight of load

and the potential superimposed load of the packaging shall have to be identifiable.

The objective of REHAU shall be to always call off full containers. Incomplete layers or pyramid stacks are not

permissible. If fills of complete layers are not possible with the container solution due to the called-off quantity, the

last layer shall have to be filled up with empty containers which shall be correspondingly marked “empty”. Loading

units open to the top shall have to be covered with a pallet cover plate and shall have to be strapped with plastic

tape (at least twice).

Example for unacceptable packaging:

Inadequate packaging

Pyramid

stacking

Edge

Diagonal ar-

rangement

Missing pallet cover plate

Repackaging which is caused by insufficient transport protection or bad packaging material shall be at the ex-

pense of the supplier. Further points are stipulated in chapter 12 titled “Financial consequences in case of viola-

tions”. The same shall apply to incorrect palletizing (overlaying).

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 13

2.5 Admissibility - mixed load carrier

The main objective of REHAU is to ensure unmixed delivery on pallets. In duly substantiated exceptional cases,

mixed pallets may be formed as well. The clarification and acceptance of mixed pallets by the REHAU logistic

planning department is mandatory. In this case it has to be ensured that different material numbers have to be

physically separated from each other. If the supplier should violate the agreement reached, REHAU reserves the

right to charge the supplier with the expenses resulting thereof. Further points are stipulated in chapter 12 titled

“Financial consequences in case of violations”.

2.6 Overseas packaging

Overseas packaging must be designed to be disposable. Care must be taken to ensure that the disposable pack-

aging is able to withstand the usual rigours of ocean transport. Receptacles and loading units must be stackable to

ensure optimum use of the shipping containers. The footprint measurements of the pallets must be aligned with 40‘

HC-ISO shipping containers. Exceptions require the approval of the responsible logistics planner of REHAU. Fur-

ther, the loading units must have a 4-way tail lift recess. For the overseas packaging, the shipping container meas-

urements (maximum 3 (1+2) stacked loading units), the IPPC standard for wood packaging and all country-specific

regulations must be complied with. The maximum gross weight of individual cartons/ small load carriers must not

exceed 15 kg (30 lbs). Since 01 July 2016 the new SOLAS Regulation for the determination of the gross mass of

shipping containers applies. From this point in time, only shipping containers with a verified gross mass may be

loaded. For this reason, it is essential that the supplier provides REHAU with exact information on the gross weight

of the components and packaging (incl. padding and fastening material). If he fails to do so or if the information

transpires to be incomplete or incorrect, the supplier is liable regardless of his culpability for all direct costs and

also subsequent costs resulting from the supplier’s breach of contract.

3.4 The marking

The supplier shall have to mark all containers clearly with the markings required for the contractual handling on

long and a short side (adjacent sides).

Right from the first delivery of the preproduction series, the supplier shall be obligated to mark the goods correctly.

The container identifications shall have to be in compliance with the regional industrial standard and shall have to

be coordinated in detail with the respective REHAU customer plant. As a matter of principle, the marking shall have

to be reached by bar-code reader without having to re-shift the loading unit. The container identifications shall have

to be attached well visibly to the containers, shall not exceed packaging, and shall not cover each other. Further-

more they shall have to be protected against soiling, environmental influences and transport stress. Elements of

the loading unit protection (strapping tapes) must not obstruct the legibility of the container identifications. If the

product is subject to a limited preservability, a best-before date shall have to be mentioned on each container.

Products with a best-before date shall have to be indicated clearly in the offer already indicating the best-before

date. In case of missing, illegible or incompletely filled-in markings, REHAU reserves the right to charge the supplier

with the additional expenditure. Further points are stipulated in chapter 12 titled “Financial consequences in case

of violations”.

3.4.1 Examples for attachment of the markings

Wire mesh box

The marking shall be attached on the right-hand top broadside of the wire mesh box or in a pocket at the front side.

Small load carriers

The marking of small load carriers shall have to be added to the pockets intended for the purpose and shall have

to be fitted by means of completely removable adhesive spots or shall be applied by adhesive labels in the first

place, which can be removed without a trace. If no pockets are available, the adhesive labels, which can be re-

moved without a trace, shall have to be attached to the intended document surface. If no document surface has

been defined, an arrangement shall have to be made with the appropriate logistics planner. The small load carriers

shall have to be arranged on a pallet in such a way that all labels of the small load carriers sitting on the pallet can

be read. The marking of the entire pallet shall be fitted to the same point as on a small load carrier in case of a wire

mesh box or on the cover.

Examples for correct attachment

In case of containers in the NAFTA size, the label may be attached only on the intended field (Kennedy label).

Boxes

The marking of the individual boxes shall be attached horizontally on the front side. The boxes shall have to be

arranged on a pallet in such a way that all labels of the boxes sitting on the pallet can be read. The marking of the

entire pallet shall be fitted to the same point as on a box in case of wire mesh boxes or on the cover.

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 17

Container identification labels

The container identification labels of REHAU must not be removed. The supplier shall have to remove obsolete

dispatch pendants or other irritating labels prior to the next delivery. In the course of the development it is imperative

that the supplier agrees the content, attachment and any other details concerning the container identification label

with the project-specific contact from the Logistics Planning Department. The container identification label requires

the approval of the contact at the Logistics Planning Department.

Container identification label example:

3.4.2 Marking in Europe and South Africa

As a matter of principle, standardised and bar-code readable labels in conformity with guideline VDA 4902, Version

4, shall have to be used for marking right down to the smallest packaging unit. Basically, the packages shall have

to be labelled on the level of the master as well as on the level of the single. Moreover, REHAU may request an

additional marking of the package upon agreement with the supplier.

If the supplier has consignments to a REHAU plant in France, the GALIA goods labels may be used. For deliveries

to the REHAU locations in South Africa, the marking on the VDA label “Packaging Material No. Customer” (Field

11.2) has to be filled in.

Other deviations shall have to be coordinated with the respectively responsible logistics planner.

The REHAU template for the VDA goods label (bar-code readable) - “Master label” (loading unit) as well as “Single

label” (packing unit, KLT / box) is rendered in Enclosure 2 titled “Example: VDA goods label”.

The supplier shall be responsible for the fact that all parts including prototypes and preproduction deliveries are

marked according to instructions.

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 18

3.4.3 Marking - world

America

In the American plants and the countries belonging to NAFTA, the packaging units shall be labelled with normed,

standardised and bar code capable labels according to Guideline VDA 4902 Version 4. In exceptional cases the

specifications of the AIAG also apply, these must however be agreed with the logistics planner of REHAU in ad-

vance. All REHAU plants worldwide have adopted the VDA 4902 Version 4 as standard.

The labelling requirement applies to even the smallest packaging unit.

Further details/specifications for our plants in America are defined in attachment 5.

4 Load carrier management

4.1 REHAU specifications

In general, the cost calculation for the reusable container concept shall be based on an empties / full goods ex-

change ratio of 1:1 whereby the supplier shall have to ensure the initial top-up at REHAU.

All containers for a smooth process (such as batch sizes, safety stock, transport circulation of full goods and emp-

ties, etc.) shall have to be included in the calculation by the supplier. REHAU has a fixed stock of corresponding

containers of eight days. The delivery shall take place min. once a week. If a complete loading unit covers more

than needs of three months, a reasonable delivery batch shall have to be defined with the contact of the Logistics

Planning Department of REHAU. Additional demands for containers used for deliveries between supplier and his

suppliers and refiners shall not be paid for by REHAU. If an exception is required for the container reaches, this

shall be specified by the purchasing body in cooperation with the central contact of the Logistics Planning Depart-

ment.

Furthermore, the supplier shall have to keep to the specified exchange / quality criteria for the containers of REHAU.

As matter of principle, it applies that the containers must not be deformed, damaged, soiled or be stuck all over

with old labels (except the container identification label). If one or several deviations exist, the additional costs for

repackaging the goods, additional personnel expenses and disposal of the old container shall be charged to the

supplier. Further points are stipulated in chapter 12 titled “Financial consequences in case of violations”.

The description of the REHAU exchange criteria for reusable packaging is rendered in Enclosure 3 titled “Exchange

criteria - reusable packaging”.

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 19

4.2 Container account / inventory record keeping

When using reusable packaging, a container account shall have to be kept by the supplier. If and when required,

these data shall have to be rendered available to the REHAU employee competent for the empties management -

cf. Enclosure 4 titled “Additional contacts”. In addition, the supplier shall have to supply a stock declaration every

month at a key date agreed upon. Handwritten elaborations shall not be accepted. The account management shall

have to be carried out in electronic form. If the supplier wishes to use a certain programme for the stock declaration,

he shall have to check the compatibility with REHAU programmes. It is only by rendering available usable data that

the quality of the process can be ensured.

Moreover REHAU shall demand an inventory once a year. This action is necessary to ensure a controlled process.

The aim is to process and balance timely any differences in stock occurring. For REHAU the security of supply is

of primary importance. REHAU Logistik Automotive in Muri near Berne is available as another arbitration board. In

case of need, it decides on the further solution process.

4.3 Management of the containers in keeping with EOP

If the purchase contract, a project or special scopes of delivery should expire, the supplier shall be obligated to

register in writing the containers which are not his property. REHAU shall be permitted to take over free of charge

all containers allocated to this scope of delivery, this project or this purchase contract. For scrapping the containers

the supplier shall require a written approval of the appropriate logistics planner of REHAU. Losses of containers

shall be replaced at 100 percent of the replacement value. REHAU shall charge this amount to the supplier. This

arrangement shall apply for reusable packaging which are not the property of the supplier as well as for empties of

third parties which cannot be returned by the supplier.

5.2 REHAU EDI parameter

Information required for the set-up will be hand over to the supplier separately or can be requested from Mr Stefan

Ertl, Stefan.Ertl@rehau.com or 2ndLevelSupportEDI@rehau.com. The technical structure and content of the

electronic delivery note must match standard specification, which were agreed. A seperate technical agreement of

the structure and the content between the EDI-interfaces is mandatory.

6 Transports

6.1 General aspects

The transports including transfer of costs and risk shall be carried out exclusively on the basis of the provisions in

keeping with Incoterms 2010. The prices in the offer shall be based mandatorily on the Incoterms respectively

mentioned in the enquiry.

REHAU shall reserve the right to change the delivery agreements in keeping with the Incoterms in the

course of the project.

Basically REHAU shall reserve the right to collect the products by its own forwarding agent. In this case

the supplier shall receive a corresponding “routing order” indicating the transport time to be taken into

consideration.

Special trips caused by demonstrable fault of the supplier (e.g. delayed delivery, return shipments due to early or

excessive delivery) shall be the responsibility of the supplier. All additional costs for special trips / express shipping

resulting thereof shall have to be borne by the supplier.

Suppliers awarded for DAP have to discuss and agree to the delivery concept with REHAU in advance. The time

slot schedule of some REHAU plants has to be booked and observed.

6.2 Cargo securing

In order to protect the staff against work-related accidents and the material against damage, it is important to

observe the correct load safety. Materials must not protrude over the side of the load carrier. The load centre of the

load carriers shall have to be observed and shall have to be marked, if and when necessary.

Moreover, the stacking capability of the load carrier during transport shall have to be observed with respect to load

safety. Damaged load carriers must not be used and shall have to be removed from the process. The materials

must not move inside the packaging and on the load carrier. It has to be ensured that the materials and the pack-

aging are linked non-slip with the load carrier in every direction. Applicable legal and official requirements for secu-

rity of the load must be observed.

8 Bidding phase

The offer shall include the delivery in keeping with Incoterms 2010. Component part prices, packaging costs and

logistics costs shall be rendered separately in the offer. REHAU expects as an offer the solicitation documents

completely filled in by the supplier. In this respect special emphasis shall be given to the logistics process. For

directed buy parts this shall be ensured by the supplier by filling in and returning REHAU BPO (blanket purchase

order).

Upon request, REHAU shall be provided with cost details for purchased parts as well as for tools / investments.

Upon request of REHAU, the price contracts shall have to be provided for directed buy parts mandatory by OEMs.

By submitting the offer, the supplier confirms that the component parts originate from the EU, otherwise the origin

of the goods has to be declared clearly. In case of an order, the supplier shall provide the proof in the form of a

supplier’s declaration, origin declaration on the delivery note and/or customs-confirmed EUR 1.

By submitting the offer, the supplier shall declare that

there is a fundamental willingness to set up a consignment store and/or VMI. The further coordination on

the realisation shall take place between REHAU and the supplier in case of an order.

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 24

he has received access to the functional specifications and requirements mentioned in the enquiry and

that he shall observe them.

9 Rolling requirement and call-off planning

9.1 Principle procedures

REHAU shall render available to the supplier a permanently updated rolling requirement and call-off plan for the

products agreed upon.

In this respect the required quantity shall be calculated by a machine process and shall be issued on the REHAU

delivery schedule or shall be transferred by EDI data set (Delfor/VDA4905). The said shall be transferred automat-

ically – the interval of delivery scheduling is coordinated bilaterally between REHAU and the supplier. As the re-

quired quantities are calculated on the basis of the goods received, it is important to prevent shortages and/or

excessive deliveries that the supplier carries out a plausibility check, and in case of potential differences he shall

immediately inform the Central Purchasing Department in Muri.

The delivery schedule lists the required quantities in short-term, medium-term and long-term periods for a maximum

of 9 months.

The short-term period (about 1 to 2 weeks1) includes the current delivery call-off(s). The delivery call-offs shall be

assigned to precise calendar days. These delivery dates shall be binding and shall have to be observed without

fail. They shall be considered deadlines for receipt and always without grace period. The delivery of the required

quantities shall have to be in conformity with the latest delivery schedule. Additional and/or separate orders shall

not be placed.

In the medium-term period, the required quantities shall be assigned to calendar weeks and to months in case of

long-term periods. The required quantities rendered for the medium-term and long-term periods shall be considered

target figures.

Due to influences, for which REHAU is not responsible, variations of the required quantities may occur. In order to

ensure constant readiness for delivery, REHAU and the supplier may agree on minimum inventory levels in indi-

vidual cases to be stocked by the supplier.

REHAU shall grant the supplier a production / material approval in conformity with a separate agreement. In case

of a complete cancellation of the required quantity, REHAU takes over the obligation to accept the materials ordered

and/or the preliminary materials required with the reservation of contract and specification conformity. In this case

1The short-term period is also dependent on the frozen zone. The frozen zone is predetermined by REHAU (bilaterally by

supplier, article and site) and must be reflected in the corresponding supplier system.

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 25

the delivery shall have to be agreed upon with the competent dispatcher. The acceptance shall take place at the

latest 12 months after the cancellation.

The “production / material approval” period shall start with the date of the delivery schedule, and if no new delivery

schedule is available shall apply progressively for the period stated. The obligation to accept shall refer to the

highest required quantity during this period.

9.2 Confirmation of the delivery call-off

A confirmation of the delivery call-off shall not be required because REHAU shall take it for granted that the re-

quested quantities and the delivery date shall be observed. In exceptional cases change requests shall have to be

disclosed in writing to the competent dispatcher immediately, at the latest, however, within 48 hours, or within 24

hours in case of daily deliveries.

9.3 Delivery quantity upon individual requests / delivery cycle

The quantity to be delivered each time shall be indicated on the REHAU delivery schedule. As a matter of principle,

the delivery quantities shall correspond to the multiple of the packaging unit agreed upon.

REHAU shall not be obligated to accept any short deliveries or overdeliveries. In this case the short deliveries or

overdeliveries shall have to be agreed upon with the competent dispatcher. In case of overdeliveries and/or ad-

vance deliveries not agreed upon REHAU shall reserve the right to return the goods freight collect. The delivery

cycle shall be rendered in the delivery schedule.

9.4 Delivery period

In case of cross-border deliveries within Europe the delivery call-offs shall be passed on 10 working days, outside

of europe max. 42 working days, previous at the longest; in case of deliveries within a country at the longest 5

working days ahead of the delivery date. The delivery period for each product and receiving location shall have to

be coordinated between the supplier and REHAU.

REHAU shall try to make sure that no changes of the arrangement occur during this delivery period. Nonetheless

the supplier shall try to do everything to deliver as fast as possible in emergency cases.

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 26

10 VMI / consignment store

The consignment store / VMI shall have to be coordinated with REHAU and shall have to be ordered separately.

10.1 VMI

VMI is a consumption-based procedure, in which the supplier is responsible for scheduling and delivery control.

Based on delivery of the products in due time, the supplier ensures at all times that the minimum and maximum

stock agreed upon is not fallen short of or exceeded. In this respect it shall be considered safe that REHAU shall

inform the supplier at least once a week about the current inventory. In addition, along with the stock declaration

the supplier shall receive a rolling consumption preview of the presumable required quantity for the following days,

weeks and months. As a matter of principle, the VMI process shall take place with the consignment.

10.2 Consignment

In the consignment handling process, the products delivered by the supplier shall remain the property of the supplier

until removed by REHAU - from the consignment store named by REHAU. With the removal of the product from

the consignment stores, the said shall be considered sold.

Logistic and commercial details shall be defined in the REHAU consignment store contract. The REHAU process

shall provide consignment in combination with VMI and delivery schedule. In coordination with the supplier REHAU

reserves the right to combine other planning procedures with consignment.

11 Emergency concept

With the award of the contract, the supplier shall have to present REHAU with an emergency concept. This emer-

gency concept can then be harmonised with REHAU. On the side of the supplier, a competent contact shall have

to be nominated in addition, who is available at any time.

The aim shall be to define common measures which may serve as an emergency concept in case of disruptions

which could have an influence on the supply of REHAU. For example, disruptions may occur through the following

examples:

Defective machines or plants

Tool breakage

Capacity problems

Quality problems

Damage or delays during transport

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 27

Disturbances in the supply chain of the supplier

EDP problems

Employees fall ill

Means of transport drop out

Other events (strikes, accidents, etc.)

Immediately when a disturbance occurs which has an influence on the supply of REHAU, the supplier shall be

obligated to report this fact to the appropriate planner at REHAU.

The supplier shall have to include the following data in his or her message:

Data on the currently known maximum supply disruption (quantities)

Cause of disturbance and estimation of its duration

Presentation of the measures taken / planned to remove the disturbance

Quantity and times of the emergency deliveries

If the procedure to remove the disturbance is insufficient as seen by REHAU, REHAU shall be permitted to suggest

measures to remove the disturbances under consideration of the interests of the supplier. The supplier shall be

obligated to implement these measures, provided these measures and their implementation are reasonable.

12 Financial consequences in case of violations

If a supplier violates against the provisions of this directive, REHAU shall charge its expenses for the correction as

follows.

The expenses mentioned shall cover the costs occurring to REHAU (staff, surface, operating materials, general

expenses), which are necessary to correct the corresponding faults before they can lead to further disturbances.

The outlay unit (AE) shall serve as a basis for the calculation of expense. REHAU organises its production locations

as follows:

Country 1: Germany, Austria, USA, France, Spain, South Africa: EUR 50 per AE.

Country 2: Mexico, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary: EUR 35 per AE.

All countries not listed here shall fall into the group “Country 2”.

(A) Basic outlay

A value of 2.0 AE shall be charged for the basic outlay for each complaint. The following services shall be included:

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 28

Administration of the complaint with the REHAU purchasing network

Complaint information to supplier

Performance of the tasks to process the complaints within the REHAU production plant (fault analysis,

blocking and separating of parts, and return / rework, if and when required)

Monitoring, internal control of the corrective measures of the supplier, completion of the complaint, issue

of debit note, dispatch and booking, archiving of complaint

(B) Additional outlay

Following up of the allocation of the outlay units, which shall be used to charge the individual error patterns in

addition to the basic outlay for the complaints. The data shall always refer to the number of positions per delivery

concerned.

Consignment fault: 1.0 AE

The following faults shall be taken into consideration here for example:

Inadequate delivery documents (not in conformity with our specifications from this document)

Faulty or absent DFÜ, if agreed upon

Division of the quantity delivered to several consignments

Underdelivery or overdelivery without previous approval by REHAU

Missing time slot booking

Faulty packaging: 1.0 AE

The following faults shall be taken into consideration here for example:

Delivery in wrong packaging

Delivery in incomplete packaging, without caps, for example

Marking / labelling: 1.0 AE

The following faults shall be taken into consideration here for example:

Insufficient marking

No label

Wrong data on the label

Several labels

No label in conformity with our specifications from this document

REHAU Logistics Guidelines for purchased parts / Automotive

Status 01 2017 Page 29

Sorting and/or repacking process:

Sorting out or repacking of parts at a REHAU production location by the supplier: 0.5 AE per hour

Sorting out or repacking of parts at a REHAU production location by REHAU: 1.0 AE per hour

On the basis of the REHAU complaints report, the debit note shall be issued to the supplier.

13 Validity

In individual cases, a situational adaptation of the logistics guidelines shall be possible. On account of the high

demands of the REHAU customers especially, this may become necessary. In this case a cooperation with the

supplier shall be coordinated. A refusal of an adaptation shall not be permitted without an understandable reason.

If a provision of this logistics agreement should be or become invalid, this fact shall not affect the validity of the

other provisions. By means of adaptation the ineffective stipulations shall be replaced by another reasonable stip-

ulation which comes economically closest to what the contractual parties would have wanted if they had known

about the ineffectiveness of the stipulation.

2.0 Pallets

To exchange EPAL certified EUR-pallets, the following exchange criteria must be observed.

Non-Exchangeable EUR-pallets3:

A single upper or lower edge board is dam-aged so that more than one nail or screw shank is revealed.

The marking EUR on the right, as well as the logo of a rail-company is missing on the left side.

A board is missing.

A block is missing or split to the point where more than one nail shank is visible. Skewed blocks may not protrude more than 10 mm.

A board is broken transversely or diagonally.

More than two upper or lower edge boards are dam-aged so that more than one nail or screw shank is visible.

Other characteristics (Poor condition overall):

The loading capacity can no longer be guaranteed (wood worm-eaten or rotten).

Contamination is such that products may be soiled.

Large splinters are coming away from a number of blocks.

There is evidence that inadmissible construction elements have been used, e.g. boards

and blocks that are too weak.

State 06/2014

3.0 Boxes

The valid EPAL exchange criteria apply. Non-exchangeable boxes are4:

The stacking frame or the corner uprights are de-formed.

The hinged front panels can no longer be opened or closed.

The floor frame or feet are so bent that the box pallet no longer stands firmly on four feet or can no longer be stacked safely.

The lattice is so torn that the wire ends pro-trude inside or outside (one wire per wall is al-lowed to be missing).

One board is missing or broken.

The essential identification markings (EUR in oval, railway symbol) are missing or illegible.

Due to rust or dirt, the general condition is so bad that freight can be contaminated.
