Suppliers provide documentation for improvements that result in cost savings or process improvements for Cirrus. All VAVE ideas must follow Cirrus VAVE process to count toward the metrics as defined the Supply and Support Agreement. VAVE projects must maintain the same  \nDelivery/Supply Chain and Quality/Launch metrics as described the Supply and Support Agreement.  \n1. The following includes some examples of what qualifies as a VAVE project. This list is not meant to beall inclusive and all ideas must be vetted through Cirrus VAVE process prior to qualifying as a valid VAVE project.  \n\n| Six Sigma Project | Supplier Furnished Tooling | Delivery or Handling Costs | Warranty Cost Reduction | Assembly or Production Efficiencies |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Inventory\u003Cbr>Reduction | Consignment Inventory | Alternative Materials | Raw Material Consolidation | Value Added Proposals |\n| Alternative\u003Cbr>Processes | Improved Raw Material Utilization | Open Bid | Process Improvements | Lower Tier Supplier Parts |\n| Part Number Elimination | Design Alternative | Kitting & Line\u003Cbr>Sequencing | Elimination of Unused Parts in Kits & Assemblies | Weight Savings |\n| Packaging Cost Savings | Cost Avoidance | Engineering Support | Transportation Costs | Incentive\u003Cbr>Programs |\n\n2. Calculating VAVE Savings:  \na. Beginning of Cirrus fiscal year, Cirrus will calculate the agreed upon VAVE savings by multiplying the percent requirement as detailed in Section 3 of the Agreement by the previous fiscal year spend with Supplier.  \ni. Example: 3% VAVE requirement x $1,000,000 previous fiscal year spend with Supplier = $30,000 VAVE savings  \n3. All VAVE projects must be approved through Cirrus VAVE process as documented below.  \na. Supplier fills submits VAVE ideas to Cirrus procurement team assigned lead  \nb. Cirrus procurement team reviews and make recommendation on VAVE Idea to cross-functional team  \nc. VAVE idea is dispositioned and supplier is notified  \nd. If VAVE idea is set to be implemented, Cirrus procurement team will enter idea into the project tracking database  \ne. Cirrus team will work with supplier to implement idea and update & maintain project in project tracking database  \n4. Additional Requirements  \na. Supplier will be measured on maintaining a; pipeline of project ideas as detailed in the Supply and Support Agreement  \nb. Supplier will work with the project lead to confirm the actual savings for any given project.  \nc. Supplier will present the project business case to Cirrus’s representatives.  \nd. Supplier will track project progress and report out in agreed upon cadence to Cirrus representative.  \n5. Frequently Asked Questions:  \na. What is the Value Add Value Engineering Program (VAVE)?  \ni. Tool to help build cost savings pipeline  \nii. Collaborative forum with Cirrus and Supplier to discuss opportunities to improve product / process / design  \niii. Take cost out of product, not reduce Supplier’s profit margin!  \nb. Why use VAVE?  \ni. Utilize Supplier’s expertise in their products to help remove waste from value chain, product and manufacturing process  \nii. Mutually beneficial for both Supplier and Cirrus  \niii. Promotes continuous improvement / lean practices  \nc. What factors are critical for success in using VAVE?  \ni. Positive Cirrus – Supplier relationships  \nii. Willingness to pursue opportunities that improve the product / process / design  \niii. Engineering resources dedicated to VAVE  \niv. Program traction and visibility  \nd. Expectations  \ni. Supplier will have a target and be required to propose that amount in approved ideas  \nii. Performance will be measured against other Suppliers  \niii.
