PPAP- Production part approval Process
* its a systematic & important tool for SCM- Supply Chain Management.
* To establish confidence in product suppliers and the manufacturing processes.
* To minimize the risk of failure.
* it is mutual agreement between customer and supplier how the product will meet manufacturing/process and quality requirements.
* Mostly used in automotive & aerospace industry.
* used before, during and after manufacturing.
PPAP is developed by AIAG- Automotive Industry Action Group.
Intention to develope PPAP is to demonstrate & establish confidence that the parts manufactured by the supplier are meeting customer requirements.
The products are conforming the quality requirements, manufacturing processes to manufacture the product will also reliable & will confirm future supply.
Prior to manufacturing the product, design & manufacturing processes are set, reviewed, potential failures taken into consideration, to eliminate the potential failures, reset the process.
After completion of above, sample piece / sample lot is manufactured. Review of process, measurement/ result are taken.
In PPAP portfolio, minimum activities / documents are listed below to be addressed:
