Developed by and for the automotive industry, PPAP is used as a qualification process to assure parts are produced consistently and within customer requirements.
Details & Benefits of PPAP Training
The Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) is an important part of the Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) process. It defines the approval procedure for new or revised parts, or parts created from new or significantly revised production methods.
The PPAP allows for a clear communication channel between the customer and supplier. It confirms that both parties have a mutual understanding in regards to design specifications and requirements, which will be met by the supplier.
The main advantages of PPAP are to reduce time and save costs that would otherwise be spent by the distribution of unapproved parts on the production line. Customers can easily identify issues or defects in the production process with a PPAP report.
The PPAP process is administered by the PPAP manual which was published by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG).
Note: This training meets AIAG requirements and can be helpful in securing an AIAG Core Tools Certification.
