2 This presentation is intended to provide a general understanding of the E-108 Branding Directive and is not intended to be a comprehensive training 2

3 At the end of this course, you should be able to: Understand the E-108 Branding Directive Describe how E-108 relates to Standard E-3 Locate and navigate the requirements and standards Understand how Branding Design Guides are used Identify the application of branding and coding on product data (3D CAD, 2D drawings) and physical parts 3

4 E-108 Directive establishes the Branding requirements Ford Engineering CAD & Drafting Standards (FECDS) E-3 details the application of the branding requirements 4

5 Directive E-108: Global Automotive Parts Trademarks Effective Aug 1, 2002 A message from the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ford Motor Company This Directive sets forth the policy for the entire Ford Motor Company automotive group and Fordcontrolled automotive affiliates and subsidiaries for the application of trademarks to automotive production and service parts and accessories. 5

6 Required Part Markings Automotive parts used to produce or service Ford Motor Company vehicles, or accessories marketed for them, must have three permanent markings: Ford Trademark Manufacturing site GSDB code Engineering Part Number 6

7 Prohibited Parts Markings Supplier trademark Supplier trade name Supplier part numbers Regardless of the country of origin, suppliers may not place these marks on the parts * * Unless required or permitted by law 7

8 E-108 Branding Directive Branding protects Ford against counterfeiting and the unauthorized sale or distribution of Original Equipment parts Adherence to E-108 is defined as a Final Data Judgment <FDJ> deliverable in the Global Product Development System (GPDS), and is also mandated by the Production Part Approval Process PPAP These markings indicate that a part was manufactured under Ford s authority 8

9 E-108 Branding Directive (cont.) E-108 requirements apply to all parts released after August 1, 2002 whether tooling to support the change is newly created, modified, transferred, refurbished, owned by suppliers, or owned by Ford Motor Company 9

10 E-108 Branding Directive (cont.) Coding (part marking) enables part identification and traceability Tooling added to support increased capacity or parts being sourced to new suppliers must support this requirement as well Sub-suppliers that do not have their own Ford GSDB code should use the Tier 1 GSDB site code 10

11 FECDS Standard E-3: Branding and Coding FECDS details the application of product data branding and coding requirements Expands upon Ford E-108 Directive for Global Automotive Part Marking 11

12 FECDS Standard E-3: Branding and Coding (cont.) All parts must comply with the E-108 Directive including change management of parts after initial release Tooling added to support increased capacity or parts being sourced to new suppliers must meet the Branding requirements 12

13 FECDS Standard E-3: Branding and Coding (cont.) Any assemblies, components, and/or accessories which are shipped to the assembly plant, bailed, made available through service, or made available as an independently marketed part must have permanent brand and code markings 13

14 FECDS Standard E-3: Branding and Coding (cont.) If the proposed branding and coding markings do not fully meet baseline or exception criteria as defined in Standard E-3, the responsible engineer must obtain a Global Brand Protection exemption prior to release of the part 14

15 Ford Trademark E-108 Branding Directive Ford Engineering Part Number E-108 Branding Directive Manufacturing site GSDB Code 15

16 Application of Required Marks Permanent marking is made with the part forming tool The three identification marks must be integral to tooling and a permanent characteristic of automotive parts. Company trademark has priority followed by the manufacturing site GSDB code then engineering part number. Temporary markings require an approved Exemption Labels, inking, pad printing or semi-permanent marking made by secondary operations like stamping or etching are temporary markings 16

17 Acceptable Company Trademarks Refer to Ford Motor Company Engineering CAD & Drafting Standard (FECDS) E-3 for engineering direction For common parts shared between two or more primary vehicle brands, FoMoCo in block letters inside a rectangle (preferred), or FoMoCo in block letters. For brand-unique parts that are not common, a primary vehicle brand trademark (e.g., Ford, Lincoln or Ford Oval). 17

18 Exceptions to Marking Requirements If a part fully meets one of these 4 Exception definitions, no Exemption is required 1. Size or Nature of the part If the size or nature of the part does not permit application (e.g., oil, water shield film, grease, mastic sheet) 2. Industry Standard Part Non-safety related industry standard part that is available as is from competing sources and not branded for any vehicle manufacturer (e.g., tire valve stems, light bulbs, some fasteners) 18

19 Exceptions to Marking Requirements (Cont.) 3. Black Box Parts Parts that are fully engineered and assembled by a supplier that are also used by multiple vehicle manufacturers without modification: Supplier identifying markings are not preferred, but allowed if such markings are not customer-visible when installed A permanent, secondary marking method such as laser marking or a secure label with a Company trademark, engineering part number, and supplier code must be visible on the part. 19

20 Exceptions to Marking Requirements (Cont.) 4. Purchased in Assembly (PIA) PIA refers to a sub-component that is always permanently attached or contained within a next level of assembly that is E-108 compliant PIA parts are NOT: Shipped to the vehicle assembly plant separately Available through service separately or within a service kit Available as an independently marketed part Used for a re-manufacturing or re-machining process Although a PIA part may meet all of the conditions above, Product Engineering may still elect to assign a Ford Engineering part number 20

21 Parts E-108 Trademark Compliance Checksheet Does the part comply with E-108 Directive? Form used to record GPDS compliance at FDJ & PPAP (Sec ) 21

22 Up Level Asy Compliance Checksheet Asy vs PIAs Format Form used to record GPDS compliance at FDJ & PPAP (Sec ) Serviceable PIA components only 22

23 What are Branding Exemptions? Exemptions are an approved reduced set of Branding requirements for a specific Ford part number Exemption requests are analyzed by the Brand Protection Group If approved, the exemption will describe the reduced set of marking requirements for that part number. Exemption Database number: 14-xxxxxxA or T (Yearserial number Approved or Temporary) Pre-Database Exemption number: 07-01xxx_A or T (Year-Month, serial number, Approved or Temporary) 23

24 Exemption Example: Full engineering part number 24

25 Branding Design Guides (DG) When a reduced set of branding requirements is appropriate for a base part number, a Branding Design Guide (DG) for that base part number is written and the DG number is placed in the Branding database A newly created part with the same base part number that meets that reduced set of requirements, can use the DG number as the Exemption number The DG exemption number is placed in the Master Part Record EXAMPLE: Design Guide number DG14-xxxxx (DGyearserial number) 25

26 Design Guide Exemption Example: Base part number Allowed 26

27 Service Kit Packaging Marking Service kit packages are marked with Temporary type marking; e.g. label Label must have Ford trademark, Ford service kit part number and the GSDB code for the supplier selling the kit to Ford Parts included in the kit are not expected to have a service part number on the part but are required to have an engineering part number Parts included in the kit must conform to E-108 Branding requirements to the level they are available separately 27

28 S e r v i c e K i t s Production Asy Cart Asy Service Parts Cart Body Handle Asy Wheels Axle Asy Prod. & Service Parts Require Permanent Marks: Ford TM, Manufacturing site GSDB code & Ford Engineering Part #. Temporary Marking of Production Asy Number Permitted Service Kits & PIAs Handle Asy Tee Nut Handle Grips (PIA) PIAs Do Not Require Branding. Engineering part number must be issued for all parts contained within kits. Wheel Asy Kit Wheels Axle Pins (PIA) 28

29 S e r v i c e K i t s If the parts in an assembly or kit meet Branding expectations (with or without an approved exemption), the assembly or kit packaging part number may be shown on a label or other temporary type marking. - No exemption required - Production Assembly Cart Asy Serviceable parts and assemblies Cart body Handle Asy Wheels Axle Asy Axle Pins (PIA) Service Kits Marking Expectations E-108 applies E-108 applies Handle Asy Kit E-108 applies Tee Nut Each part needs Ford Eng. part # at minimum one of the parts needs Handle the Trademark and GSDB code to meet E-108 for the assembly No marks or Ford Eng. part # are required because grips are PIA to Grips (PIA) the handle E-108 applies E-108 Applies E-108 applies Contained within kit. Requires Ford Eng. part #. No part markings are expected. Wheel Asy Kit Wheels Axle Pins (PIA) Each part needs Ford Eng. part # at minimum one of the parts needs the Trademark and GSDB code to meet E-108 for the assembly E-108 applies E-108 applies Contained within kit.
