Volvo Powertrain Partnership Program Create joint-value with External Partners the Volvo Way Volvo Powertrain 36

Volvo Powertrain Partnership Program definition The Partnership Program encompasses all actions which contributes to creating value in the business relationship between VPT and a very limited number of suppliers This requires alignment of Strategies Processes Behaviour This approach should involve all people interfacing between VPT and its supply base Volvo Powertrain 37

Supplier 1 A new set up and a new supplier interface to support worldwide volume to the level of the car industry Legacy 3 suppliers bases: - 1000 suppliers - 14 000 part numbers # suppliers # parts # teams # processes New products 1 supplier base: - VPT Extended Enterprise - 100 suppliers - 5 000 part numbers Hagerstown Hagerstown Common Supplier VCE VTC Penta Bus Same suppliers Same parts Same team Same processes Skövde Supplier 2 Lyon VCE VTC Penta Bus Lyon Supplier 3 Skövde VCE VTC Penta Bus VCE VTC Penta Bus Volvo Powertrain 38

Partnership program created in March 2004 A very pragmatic collaborative approach To create value To deliver a competitive advantage To become our suppliers preferred customers Focused on 3 building blocks 3 shared implementation plans Deliver on Heavy Duty Platforms: High level commitment and shared targets Deliver Quality breakthrough Secure cost Avoid diversity, redundancies (validation) and waste Innovation partnership on key area Regroup our strength / Prepare the future Take value out of supply chain Volvo Powertrain 39

A Powerful network of 40 partners A new relationship based on teamwork Volvo From commercial/engineering focused relationship Supplier To broad collaboration at all management levels CEO Sales Engineering Quality Purchasing Manufacturing Aftermarket Logistics Finance And between suppliers Supplier A Volvo Supplier B Supplier C Volvo Powertrain 40

Joint relationship management Organize and manage the business relationship between Volvo and key supplier as well as between suppliers This is one of the areas where purchasing is expected to exercise its leadership. However, Supplier Relationships are not the monopoly of Purchasing.
