Guidance to Providing an MITP
How to complete a Manufacturing, Inspection & Test
Plan (MITP) and Addendum.
Previously referred to as (MQP) Manufacturing Quality
Plan & is still acceptable if an MQP meets the intent of
the MITP.
 Please don’t hesitate to contact your RR Technical Authority (TA) or Point of
Contact for support & assistance.
Guidance to Providing an MITP V1

Purpose & strategy Before you start The current versions of the RR QA Requirements, the templates & guidance (including this one) are
available at the ‘Global Supplier Portal’ (GSP):
https://suppliers.rolls-royce.com/GSPWeb/appmanager/gsp/guest
An MITP & Addendum is required when GS3001 (Submarines Nuclear General QA Requirements) is
invoked by the purchase order.
Where a PO states an MQP is required, this is satisfied by the current MITP & Addendum.
This ‘How to’ refers to the use of : ‘MITP & Addendum TEMPLATE_V2.xls’
A supplier can submit their own format. This must meet the intent by containing the same information
& be agreed with the RR point of contact & RR TA for the RR Business Unit as part of the PreContract Review.
The ideal – When a supplier can electronically export the product Traveller/s/Route Cards that cover
all of the manufacturing or service activity & that meet the QA content of the RR MITP template.
An Addendum would still be needed but with the advantage of reduced administration, together with
shop floor operators seeing exactly the same Method of Manufacture as approved by RR.
3
Purpose & strategy Ctd The MITP represents an individual or family of parts (products manufactured identically).
The MITP shall reference all manufacturing/service process documents and procedures used
to manufacture and release the product. This is the Method of Manufacture (MoM).
No issue states of these documents should be contained within the MITP, these will reside
within the Addendum.
The Addendum is directly linked to & references the RR Purchase Order(s), the
applicable MITP and Deliverable Quality Plan (DQP) and is used to manage the issue states
of the drawings & documents within the MITP.
•
The Addendum is the top level supplier quality document supporting each purchase order.
Repeat orders - If the MITP (MoM) has not changed since the previous order, the supplier is
only required to submit an updated Addendum for new orders of the same product. This allows
timely review of any document or definition changes instead of a full review of an MITP.
4
Submission to Rolls-Royce The dual template is for the MITP & Addendum together but when completed by the supplier they
must be submitted to RR as two separate documents.
(This is to ensure the original addendum doesn’t confuse/over-ride any future, later Addendums)
In the absence of any prior convention or other stipulations from the RR point of contact or RR TA,
please use the following ‘file naming’ convention:
MITP:
RR Purchase Order_MITP MITP Unique No_VMITP Issue_Product Description
Eg: 52000099999_MITP ABC123456_V1_Feedwater Reg Valve.xls
Addendum:
RR Purchase Order_MITP Addendum Addendum Unique No_VAddendum Issue_Product
Description
Eg: 52000099999_MITP Addendum ABC123456_V1_Feedwater Reg Valve.xls

Amendment/Change and Reason – Details of the changes from the previous issue
state, including reasons for change
Author – The name of the author of the amendments
Approver – The name of the approver of the amendments.

MITP Completion – Verification Codes
Verification Activity codes – The codes given to operations requiring hold, witness or
verification & clarifies who does what for actual verification operations.
Note: Different suppliers may have different codes
10
MITP Completion – Sub-contract
Op Number – The operation number that requires a sub-con activity
Sub-contractor name – The name of the sub-contractor the supplier is using for that
specific operation
Bespoke parts & sub-assemblies – Where parts being assembled into a product by
the supplier or a sub-contractor are not CotS (Catalogue off the shelf). They are bespoke
to RR, ‘made to print’ or ‘design & make’ by an outsource sub-contractor, the part No of
any such item shall be stated in the operation description & also added to the ‘subcontractor activity’ table with the sub-contractor name.

Op No – The operation number in the MITP.
Description of Operation – The description as seen by the production operator.
If the MITP is also serving as a ‘Fixed Process Document’ where the product definition states : ‘Engineering Control
of S&M to RRES90000 or RRES92000’, complete detail & any parameters must be included unless covered by a
work instruction/control procedure.
• Follow the guidance of the RRES stated on the definition.
Fixed Process – If Engineering Control of S&M has been deployed, the supplier can propose the ops are either EC
or MEC in this column under the direction of the ‘RRES’.
• The ‘Fixed Process’ would normally have been developed & agreed along with product development &
introduction. The MITP FP details should then be a formality & not delay MITP approval or commencement of
manufacture.
EC = Engineering Control with RR, initial & change approval.
MEC = Manufacturing Engineering Control by the supplier’s ME governance with RR, initial approval.
Special Process – Processes that meet the definition as per GS3001 Sectn 5.6 – Special Process Procedures or
that have been stated as such by a RR requirement, must be highlighted in the field & managed as per GS3001.
