PPAP
Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) Production parts are manufactured at the Production site using production tooling, Gaging, equipment, 0perators etc. Parts from production run are analyzed. Test results and records from APQP are Submitted with part submission warrant
1
PURPOSE
For the supplier to demonstrate - All design records and specification requirements are properly understood - The process has the capability to produce product that meets requirements
Application
AIAG PPAP manual defines when PPAP Submission is required - Design or process change - Change in source of subcontracted materials or services - Transfer or rearrangement of tooling & equipment
3
Methodology
Buyer enter PPAP Submission date on purchase order Approver determines submission level - Default level 3 - Default level 4 for raw material Supplier submits PPAP - PPAPALL.xls electronic Submission recommended
4
Methodology
Approver evaluates PPAP package - Level 5 at supplier site Approver determine part submission status Notify supplier and manufacturing of status
FLOW CHART
Linkage Of Product Characterstics from DFMEA to operational Steps Operation numbers consistent with PFMEA,CONTROL PLAN, Operator instructions Ensure identification of inspection of inspection and rework Use process FLOW Chart checklist in APQP manual to evaluate
8
PFMEA
Linkage with DFMEA, Process Flow, Control plan, Operator instructions, etc Degree to which high RPNS are addressed with preventive strategies Action plans assigned implemented, effectiveness assessed and RPN recalculated Use Process FMEA check list in APQP manual
9
DFMEA
Asses feasibility , risk, design intent issues. Confirm manufacturing process capability Considered. Focus on critical characteristics Lessons Learned incorporate Use Design FMEA Checklist in APQP Manual to evaluate.
10
Control plan
Ensure Control Plan is aligned to ,& and correlates with , DFMEA, Process Flow, PFMEA Control Methods appropriate to variation type (S) Incorporates lessons learned, Statistical Data USE Control plan checklist in APQP Manual to evaluate

MSA STUDIES
Measurement uncertainty determined Gage R&R,Bias, Stability and Linearity Gage R&R acceptance guidelines <10% Acceptable 10-30% may be acceptable, evaluate total variation >30% unacceptable , measuring system needs improvement Verify study performed correctly.
