INTRODUCTION
General
‘The work of preparing CQI-23: Special Process: Molding System Assessment was carried out through the
AIAG Molding Work Group. These molding requirements are complementary to customer and product
standards.
‘The Molding System Assessment can be used to assess an organization’s ability to meet the requirements
in this assessment, as well as customer, regulatory, and the organization’s own requirements. The
Molding System Assessment can also be used between an organization and its suppliers.
In the Molding System Assessment, the word “shall” indicates a requirement for purposes of this self
assessment. Failure to meet the requirements results in an assessment that is either “Not Satisfactory” of
“Needs Immediate Action”. The word “should” indicates a recommendation. Where the term “such as
is used, any suggestions given are for guidance only.
Process Approach
‘The Molding System Assessment supports the automotive process approach as described in ISO/TS
16949,
Molding System Assessment Goals
The goal of the Molding System Assessment is the development of a molding management system that
provides for continual improvement, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and
waste in the supply chain.
‘The Molding System Assessment, coupled with an internationally recognized quality management system
and applicable customer-specific requirements, defines the fundamental requirements for molding
‘management systems.
‘The Molding System Assessment is intended to provide a common approach to a molding management
system for automotive production and service part organizations,
Assessment Process
Ongoing assessments shall be conducted annually, unless otherwise specified by the customer, to
reexamine the continuing compliance with the Molding System Assessment. Each assessment shall
include a review of the organization's systems using the Molding System Assessment. Successive Job
Audits (Section 3.0 of this document) shall sample parts from different automotive component
‘manufacturers that require compliance to the Molding System Assessment document.
‘The assessment shall use the process approach to auditing/assessing as identified by the requirements of
ISO/TS 16949,cal-23

Special Process: Molding Systm Assessment a
Version 1, Issued 00/2014 The Catalyst fr Pook Poforre
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE JOB AUDIT
‘The organization is to complete a minimum of one molding part job audit during each assessment. This
should be done preferably on a part identified for one of the customers requiring compliance to this
document, More part job audits may be done if time permits. Preferably, safety or critical parts should be
audited. This may not be easily determined with fasteners, especially ifthe fastener manufacturer does not
identify the end customer (auto manufacturer, tier one, etc.) It is recommended that the job audit be
performed at the end of the molding system assessment.
‘The job audit is not the only or main focus of the Molding System Assessment. The other two sections on
‘Management Responsibility and Quality Planning, and Floor and Material Handling Responsibility are
equally if not even more important, The job audit of one part, one molding process, is not sufficient to
use as a basis to complete the other sections of the complete Molding System Assessment.
‘The job audit is a compliance type audit/review of a specific part and its related paperwork and
processing, including molding equipment and processing records for that job from the beginning receipt
ofa part through processing in the molding operation and inspection to packaging. Parts shall be taken
from the shipping area at the dock or the end of the molding operation. If an automotive manufacturer's
partis not available or identifiable, then parts from other customers requiring compliance with this
document shall be used for the assessment.
The specific molding processing parameters (applies to 3.6 in the Job Audit) that are required in the job
audit shall be added to the job audit form. This can be done by reviewing the customer specification(s),
‘the Control Plan, the FMEA, and the floor work/job order. Each processing step shall be reviewed for
proper production records/compliance/inspection, ‘These steps can be compared to those in the Mol
System Assessment for the actual job/molding process being reviewed for compliance,“ae

GLOSSARY
Additive: A substance compounded into a resin to enhance or improve certain characteristics,
Assembly: The process of joining parts by any of several methods.
ASTM: American Society for Testing and Materials.
Back Pressure: The resistance of the molten plastic material to forward flow. In molding, back pressure
increases the temperature of the melt, and contributes to better mixing of colors and homogeneity of the
material. However, as back pressure increases, so does cycle time.
Barrel: The section of a molding machine that contains the feed screw, also the section where resin
heating and mixing occurs,
Blister: An imperfection on the surface of a plastic article caused by a pocket of air or gas beneath the
surface,
Blow Molding: Method of fabrication in which a warm plastic hollow tube is placed between the two
halves of a mold cavity and forced to assume the shape of that mold cavity by use of internal pressure,
Cavity: A depression, or a set of matching depressions,
surfaces of the molded articles.
a plastics-forming mold which forms the outer
Charge: The measurement or weight of material necessary to fill a mold during one cycle.
Clamping Pressure: The pressure applied to the mold to keep it closed during the molding cycle.
Closed-loop Control: System for monitoring and automatically adjusting injection molding process
conditions such as temperature, pressure and time, The automatic changes keep part production within
preset tolerances.
Compound: A mixture of resin(s) and additives usually formed in a separate machine downstream from
the primary reactor.
Compounding: The process required to mix polymer(s) with all ofthe additives that are necessary to
provide the end user with a finished grade with suitable properties.
‘Compression Molding: A method of molding in which the molding material, generally preheated, is
placed in an open heated mold cavity, the mold is closed with a top force, pressure is applied to force the
material into contact with all mold areas.
Cooling time: The elapsed time required for the melt to reach its Vicat softening temperature.
Crack/Splits/Chips: A physical separation or tearing of the part
CSA: Canadian Standards Association,
Cycle Time: The
position/state.
1e required by an injection molding system to mold a part and return to its original
Cycle: Complete, repeating sequence of operations for injection molding a part.AIAG cosas

Density: Mass per unit volume of a substance.
Drying: The removal of moisture from the resin pellets by exposure to certain time and temperature. All
Hydroscopic Material must be dried prior to molding,
Extrusion: The process of forming continuous shapes by forcing a molten plastic material through a die.
Fiber: This term usually refers to thin fibers of glass which are used to reinforce materials. One-inch long
fibers are occasionally used, but the more commonly used fiver lengths are 1/2” and 1/4", or ess.
Fill Time (also known as Injection): Time required to fil he cavity or mold.
Fill: The packing of the cavity or cavities of the mold as required to give a complete part or parts that are
free of flash and porosity.
Finish: The surface texture and appearance of a finished article.
Flash: Any excess material that is formed with and attached to the component along a seam or mold
parting line.
Flow Rate: The volume of material passing a fixed point per unit time.
Gate: The channel through which the motten resin flows into the cavity
Injection Molding: The method of forming objects from granular or powdered plastics, most often of the
thermoplastic type, in which the materials is fed from a hopper to a heated chamber in which itis
softened, after which a ram or screw forces the material into a mold. Pressure is maintained until the
‘mass has hardened sufficiently for removal from the mold,
Insert Molding: The process of molding plastic around another object that has been placed into the mold
cavity before the injection of molten resin.
Knit Lines: Where melted material flows together to form a line or lines that may cause weakening or
breaking of the component.
Lubricant: Internal lubricants, without affecting the fusion properties of a compound, promote resin flow,
External lubricants promote release from metals which aids in the smooth flow of melt over die surfaces.
Melt Flow: Rate of extrusion of molten resin through a die of specified length and diameter. The
conditions of the test (e.g. temperature and load) should be given.
‘Mold (n): A hollow form or matrix into which a plastic material is placed and whic!
its final shape as a finished article.
parts to the material
‘Mold (v): To impart shape to a plastic mass by means of a confining cavity or matrix.
Mold Release: In injection molding, a lubricant used to coat the surface of the mold to enhance ejection
of the molded article or prevent it from sticking to the tool
Mold Temperature: The temperature at which the mold is maintained. Often the most important benefit of
raising mold temperature is that it allows a slower injection rate without the plastic getting too cold.
Mold-Temperature-Control Unit: Auxiliary equipment used to control mold temperature. Some units can
both heat and cool the mold. Others, called chillers, only cool the mold.

Nozzle: Hollow metal hose screwed into the extrusion end of the heating cylinder of an injection machine
designed to form a seal under pressure between the cylinder and the mold,
Pellets: Tablets or granules of uniform size, consisting of resins or mixtures of resins with compounding
‘additives which have been prepared for molding operations by extrusion and chopping into short
segments.
Pigment (also known as Colorant, Color Concentrate): A plastic compound which contains a high
percentage of pigment, to be blended in appropriate amounts with the base resin so that the correct final
color is achieved.
Preform: A plastic pre- shaped part produced by injection molding systems in the first step of a two-stage
injection molding and blow molding process used to produce bottles or containers. The preform is.
subsequently re-heated and stretch blown through a biow molding process into the fina container shape.
Purging: In extrusion or injection molding, the cleaning of one color or type of material from the machine
by forcing it out with the new color or material to be used in subsequent production, or with another
compatible purging material.
Recovery Time: The length of time for the screw to rotate, create a shot, and retum to original position.
Regrind: Waste material such as sprues, runners, excess parison material and reject parts from injection
molding, blow molding and extrusion, which has been reclaimed by shredding or granulating. Regrind is
usually mixed with virgin compound at a predetermined percentage for remolding,
Resin (Synthetic): The term is use to designate any polymer that is a basic materi
for plastics.
Robot: Automated devices for removing parts upon ejection from an open mold rather than letting the
parts drop. Also see parts picker. Robots also can perform secondary functions, such as inspection,
degating, precise placement of parts on a conveyor, etc.
‘Trap Points: Areas in containers (baskets, fixtures, shipping boxes, etc.) or any equipment that may
inadvertently retain parts, allowing the potential for parts to be mixed between batches.
Short Shot (also known as Non-Fill: Failure to completely fl the mold or cavities of the mold. Edges
may appear melted.
‘Shrinkage: Contraction upon cooling of all or areas of the part. Shrinkage occurs less in disorientated
material and more across chains of molecules than along their lengths. Lower pack areas have lower
areas of orientation and shrinkage.
‘Sink Mark: Depressions in the surface of a molded part caused by local internal shrinkage after the gate
seals. Sink is most common in thick sections of a part or where features such as ribs or bosses intersect
avisual surface.
‘SMC (Sheet Molding Compound): A ready to use glass fiber reinforced polyester material primarily
Used in compression molding.
Specific Gravity: The ratio of the density of a material as compared to the density of water at standard
‘atmospheric pressure (1 ATM) and room temperature (73F),
‘Splay Marks: Scan or surface defects on molded part caused by abnormal racing of the mett in the moldAIAG» spel Process: dng Systm Sent
The Catalyst or Pak Prermance™ Version 7, Issued 0372014
Tensile Strength: The maximum tensile stress sustained by the specimen during a tension test.
‘Thermoset: A polymer that imeversibly cures. Once hardened a thermoset resin cannot be reheated and,
melted to be shaped differently
‘Thermo Plastic: A polymer that becomes pliable and moldable above a specific temperature, and returns
toa solid state upon cooling.
‘Transfer Molding: A process of forming articles by fusing a plastic material in a chamber then forcing the
whole mass into a hot mold to solidity
Vacuum Forming: A process whereby a heated plastic sheet is drawn against a mold surface by
evacuating the air between it and the mold
Vestige: A visible mark created by the gate.
iscosity: Resistance to flow of a liquid.
Void: An unfilled space within a solid material
Weld Line: Where melted material flows together during molding to form a visible line or lines on a
