In alignment with PPAP 4.0, an "organization" is the manufacturing site of external suppliers manufacturing
production or service parts and products for Ford Motor Company. The sub-tier supplier is the manufacturing
facility contracted by the organization to ship product to the organization in support of a Ford Motor Company
contract. Special situations may apply where the organization is directed by Ford to contract a particular sub-
tier supplier. Please contact the Ford buyer to understand the organization responsibilities where sub-tier
suppliers are directed by Ford.
In this document, the terms "organization" and “tier 1 supplier" are interchangeable, both representing the tier 1
site manufacturing production or service parts for Ford Motor Company.
