GP-12 checklist for the Jeep Recon EV ramp-up
GP-12 is the early production containment that protects a new program while the process proves itself: a dedicated inspection on top of normal controls. With the Jeep Recon EV entering production at Stellantis Toluca in Q2 2026, suppliers should have their GP-12 station defined before first shipments.
Published: July 3, 2026
When does GP-12 apply on a new program?
GP-12 covers the launch window: pre-production builds, ramp-up and the early weeks of regular production, until the data shows the process is stable and the OEM agrees to close it. On a program like the Recon EV, that window is when scorecards are set and when a single escape does the most damage, because every function at the plant is watching launch parts. Treat GP-12 as a data engine rather than a checkbox: the same records that keep defects off the line become the evidence that closes containment early. Suppliers who staff it properly from day one usually exit weeks sooner than those who improvise the station after the first concern.
What goes into the GP-12 station?
| Checklist item | What good looks like |
|---|---|
| Written criteria sheet | Defect definitions agreed with your team and the SQE before first shipment |
| Boundary samples | Physical or photo standards for pass and fail at the station |
| Trained inspectors | Named, trained people per shift, not whoever is free |
| Data sheets | Counts per lot with date, shift and inspector recorded daily |
| Identification | GP-12 label on certified shipments so the plant can trace them |
| Escalation path | Who calls whom within the hour when a defect is found |
How do you exit GP-12 cleanly?
Exit comes from evidence: a run of clean lots across an agreed window, capability data on the critical features, and closed actions on anything the station caught. Package the daily sheets into a weekly summary so the closure review is a formality rather than a debate. IDS staffs and documents GP-12 and Safe Launch for Recon EV suppliers at Stellantis Toluca, building the criteria with your team and reporting daily. Launching soon?
