Applied logic for assessment:
For parts classified as "A" risks (prioritized) the person carrying out the assessment (Producer) and the person receiving
the result (Consumer) must assign a traffic-light colour.
In the case of "B" and "C" risk-classified (prioritized) parts the supplier must carry out his own assessment (self-
assessment).
In other words, the supplier assesses the fields in which he is producer or consumer, in the same way as for "A" risk-
classified (prioritized) parts. However, here no assessment is made by the customer. The result of the assessment is then
entered in the column "Overall assessment" automatically (cp. VDA publication "Maturity level assurance for new parts",
