The document provides an overview of Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). It describes:
1) APQP as a cross-functional planning process with 5 phases to ensure a product meets customer expectations. It involves tools like DFMEA, PFMEA, control plans.
2) PPAP is required when a product or process changes and validates that production meets requirements. There are 5 submission levels with varying documentation required.
3) Both APQP and PPAP aim to launch defect-free products and improve quality, customer satisfaction and cost savings through thorough upfront planning and validation of designs and manufacturing processes.

Advanced Product Quality
Planning Cycle
Advanced Product Quality Planning
method to assure that a product satisfies
the customer (both internal and external)
The goal of APQP is to:
Plan before acting
Anticipate and prevent issues
Validate before moving forward
Facilitate communication
Each Advanced Product Quality Plan is unique and is a living document
Particular emphasis should be placed on identifying critical path activities and
ensuring those are fully resourced

4. APQP Background
2019
Automotive and Non Automotive industries challenges:
Innovation, product complexity
Reduce NPD times (Time to Market!)
Complicated Supply chain (Global presence)
Increasing customer and quality requirements (Zero Defect!)
Solution:
Ford, GM, Chrysler APQP Task Force jointly developed in the late 80s to standardize
their respective supplier quality systems.
Continuous Improvement:
Many industries outside the Automotive industry have embraced the AIAG APQP
process to achieve similar benefits
5. APQP timing chart and phases - AIAG

The Advanced Product Quality
Planning process consists of
four phases and five major
activities and has some 20+
supporting tools (e.g. DFMEA,
PFMEA, CTQ, Special
Characteristics, Control Plan,
SPC) along with ongoing
feedback assessment and
corrective action.

12. Application to Different Mfg. Environments
2019 12
High Volume
APQP plans and activities are organized by part number and are very specific to
the part
Low Volume
APQP plans may be specific to part families with activities focused on the parent
part
More limited validation would be done on child parts
Family part differences should be understood and higher risk differences
incorporated into APQP plans

15. Key Take Aways:
2019
APQP is cross-functional planning and execution to produce product that
fully meets the customers expectations the first time
AIAG APQP phases are Planning, Product Design, Process Design,
Validation, Production
Phase approach ensures activities are completed in the appropriate
order
Can be applied to different manufacturing environments High Volume,
Low Volume
Its cross-functional Marketing/Design/Manufacturing/SCM/Quality
17. What is PPAP?
2019 17
Production Part Approval Process
Standard used to formally reduce risks prior to product or service
release, in a team oriented manner using well established tools and
techniques
Initially developed by AIAG (Auto Industry Action Group) in 1993 with
input from the Big 3 - Ford, Chrysler, and GM
AIAGs 4th edition effective June 1, 2006 is the most recent version
PPAP has now spread to many different industries beyond automotive
18. PPAP at
2019 18
Aligned to AIAG PPAP Manual rev 4
Requirements set up during Technical Reviews (DPAR Process*)
Continuous validation approach
Embedded to our APQP (output of phase 4 Production Part Approval)
*DPAR: Design, Process & Assembly Review you can refer to DPAR Training Material for further information
19. Production Run
2019 19
PPAP data must be submitted from a production run using:
Production equipment and tooling
Production employees
Production rate
Production process
All data shall reflect the actual production process that will be used at start-up!
20. Purpose of PPAP
2019 20
Provide evidence that all customer engineering design record
and specification requirements are properly understood by the
organization
To demonstrate that the manufacturing process has the potential to
produce product that consistently meets all requirements during an
actual production run at the quoted production rate
21. When is PPAP Required?
2019 21
New part
Engineering change(s)
Durable Tooling: transfer, replacement, refurbishment, or additional
Tooling inactive > one year
Correction of discrepancy
Change to optional construction or material
Sub-supplier or material source change
Change in part processing
Parts produced at a new or additional location
PPAP is required with any significant change to product or process!
22. Benefits of PPAP Submissions
2019 22
Helps to maintain design integrity
Identifies issues early for resolution
Reduces warranty charges and prevents cost of poor quality
Assists with managing supplier changes
Prevents use of unapproved and nonconforming parts
Identifies suppliers that need more development
Improves the overall quality of the product & customer satisfaction
23. PPAP Submission Levels
2019 23
Level 1
Production Warrant and Appearance Approval Report (if applicable)
submitted
Level 2 Production Warrant, product samples, and dimensional results submitted
Level 3
Production Warrant, product samples, and complete supporting data

25. PPAP Element 17: Requirements
2019 25
Depending on the specific business, may require:
Measurement Agreement
Gage Drawing
Safe Launch Control Plan
Annual layout
Special Processes qualification
Packaging Specification Data Sheet
Submit Bar Code Label Packaging Approval
Capacity R@R Worksheet
MSDS
26. PPAP Status
2019 26
Approved
The part meets all requirements
Supplier is authorized to ship production quantities of the part
Interim Approval
Permits shipment of part on a limited time or piece quantity basis
Rejected
The part does not meet requirements, based on the production lot from which
it was taken and/or accompanying documentation
Production quantities shall not be shipped before Approval + Order!
27. PPAP Sum up & Take Aways
2019 27
PPAP is a result of a good APQP!
DPAR* is an important activity to determine PPAP expectations!
Commitment on part and process feasibility
We plan a good Control Plan: Measurement Agreement on key characteristics
determines PPAP level based on component risk
Submission requirements are increased for higher risk components
Requirements are defined and agreed during DPAR phase
provides a standard PPAP workbook with all necessary tools
Supplier can use their own templates and tools if they meet the AIAG requirements
Lets be Smart!
Going through PPAP process as a routine
Identifying opportunities: Master PFMEA, Master CP
