The basic concepts in the Ford Motor Company method of designating characteristics are as follows:
• Characteristics are either SPECIAL or NOT.
• SPECIAL characteristics are either CRITICAL or SIGNIFICANT; all other characteristics are undesignated.
• SPECIAL characteristics are listed in a producer's Control Plan with their special controls.
