ADIENT GLOBAL INJECTION MOLD TOOLING STANDARDS
TITLE: INTRODUCTION
SECTION # I DATE: 12/1/2011

Adient requires plastic part suppliers to provide the highest quality built molds in a
timely and cost effective manner. These tools must be structurally and mechanically
sound as well as being highly capable of providing a quality part with a stable process
for the life of the project.
These are the minimum expectations of our customers. In today's marketplace,
nothing less is acceptable. We are committed to working as partners with our tool and
parts suppliers to meet and/or exceed these expectations.
The standards on the following pages are intended to enhance this partnership by
clarifying expectations regarding the standard practices to be used when designing and
building Adient Global and OEM injection mold tooling.
All corresponding construction views and notes are to be consider minimum
requirements and must be used in conjunction with generally accepted design and
build practices.
Please note that these standards are meant to be a starting point for mold design and
construction. It is not possible, with this , to capture all of the possible conditions that
exist in various tooling situations. Therefore, the content of these documents are NOT
intended to elimate the need for sound engineering judgment. It is our expectation
that molds produced for Adient and our OEM customers function correctly, are robust
in nature, follow Adient purchasing documents, etc. It is our further expectation that
parts run automatically, and that parts, and runners, can be ejected from the mold by
normal ejection or robotic means when specified. Any substantial deviation from the
intent of these tooling standards should be reviewed and approved the Adient Tool
Engineer.

Plastic Part Supplier Tooling Quality Expectations

Continuous improvement is the underlying philosophy at Adient, which assures the
delivery of defect‐free, competitive products and services on time, and enhances our
customer's success in a dynamic global market.

Dimensional Specification Requirements

All tools must be built to the measurement standard of the that region, North America
tools to be built in standard, English. ‐ Europe and Asia tools to be built in metric , and
their native language.
