Description

The Product Part Approval Process, commonly called "PPAP", is used around the world in a variety of industries including automotive, aerospace, appliance, agriculture, and heavy truck as the "final gate" before launching a new part into production. The purpose of thee PPAP system is to 1) determine if the supplier understands the part's engineering requirements, and 2) if the supplier is capable of consistently meeting those requirements.

You will learn how and why to use PPAP, the benefits of the system, and a detailed overview of each of the core 18 elements including:

1. Design record

2. Authorized Engineering Change Documents

3. Customer Engineering Approval

4. Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA)

5. Process Flow Diagram (PFD)

6. Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA)

7. Process Control Plan

8. Measurement System Analysis (MSA) Studies

9. Dimensional Results

10. Material and Performance Test Results

11. Initial Process Studies

12. Qualified Laboratory Documentation

13. Appearance Approval Report (AAR)

14. Sample Production Parts

15. Master Sample

16. Checking Aids

17. Customer-specific Requirements

18. Part Submission Warrant (PSW)

anecdotally, most of the time people that are calling people out in reviews, it seems to be that they're trying to reward them.
