Definition
Preliminary concept or product opportunity proposed by Marketing for further exploration based on a
vehicle placeholder in the Long Range Plan.
Product Briefing presented by Marketing describing the initial business case, customer (VOC) & regulatory
requirements for the program.
If accepted, approval is given to proceed with the concept direction.
The projects business case and potential for achieving functional and technical requirements have been
assessed with a feasible outcome and results.
Authorization is received to assign manpower to the project, begin detailed definition of functional and
operational objectives, and prepare a program contract.
If funding is required to support early design or development, pre-spending authorization may be obtained
(pre-spending = funding prior to Program (Initiative) & Style Approval.)
Production designs complete including packaging with component, system and vehicle functional capability
verified & assembly & logistics processes defined for both the supplier and Chrysler Assembly plant.
Remaining open issues are understood and plans are in place to prevent necessity to modify tooling later
in the program.
Kick-off of component production tooling to meet the Verification of Process build.
Start of the build that verifies that the vehicle design meets defined program requirements.
Vehicles are built at the assembly plant to verify that supplier and assembly plant production tooling,
equipment, processes and facilities meet customer and program objectives.
Start of the build that is the final validation the vehicle meets functional and build objectives.
Vehicles built with PPAPed parts.
Confirmation of supplier and assembly plant process readiness to execute vehicle launch and build
customer ordered vehicles.
Job 1 Offline
1st customer unit built. Start of volume production and launch ramp-up. Containment released.

Initiate Sketches
Emotional sketches are created by Product Design Office (PDO) & reviewed with Advanced Vehicle Engineering (AVE)
& Product Planning prior to release of official styling constraints.
Realistic sketches are started by PDO after receipt of styling constraints (people package, critical cross sections, hard
points and architectural requirements) from AVE
Initial sketches are selected by Senior Management for further development around the Feasibility Briefing / PreSpending Approval. Sketches shown conform to all styling constraints defined by AVE.
Senior Management narrows the focus of design development work to two (or one) theme per brand.
Designs selected are at minimum 30% feasible to manufacturing & stamping
Styling conforms to Engineering requirements providing high level feasibility to functional objective requirements.
Senior Management narrows the focus of design development to one theme per brand.
Styling design selection occurs for all price classes and markets.
Designs selected are at minimum 60% feasible to manufacturing & stamping.
All aesthetic surface (A-side surfaces) accepted by Engineering and achieve the functional objective requirements..
Coincides with CAD Step B release.
Style Approval
(Concurrent with CAD Step C)
Senior Management approves the design which becomes plan of record for future engineering work.
Styling design approval occurs for all price classes and markets.
Designs are at minimum 80% feasible to manufacturing, stamping, functional objectives.
A-side surface (aesthetic surface) final CDD Release.
Coincides with CAD Step C release.
Any future changes to the A-side surface are directed by Engineering & made by Surfacing group.
Style Class C Math release at Fiat (Owner Styling).
Styling Freeze
(Concurrent with CAD Step 2)
Final release of the B-side surface with any required A-side surface changes completed.
Designs are 100% feasible to manufacturing, stamping, functional objectives.
Designs released by Engineering. Coincides with CAD Step 2 release.
Style Class B Math release at Fiat (Owner Engineering).
Paste Foam Model that is built from the Style Class B Math data. Used for final reflectivity studies. Coincides with CAD
Step 3 release.
