PPAP Full List of Elements Required
PPAP Full List of Elements Required
Manual:
1. Design Documentation
o Includes the drawing of the part, specifications, and any applicable CAD data.
o Must be approved by the customer.
2. Engineering Change Documents (if applicable)
o For any changes made to design, materials, or processes that deviate from previously approved documents.
3. Customer Engineering Approval (if required)
o Written approval from the customer for the part design, testing, or changes.
4. Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA)
o A systematic approach to identify and mitigate risks in the design phase.
5. Process Flow Diagram
o A step-by-step visual representation of the production process.
6. Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA)
o Analysis of potential failure modes in the manufacturing process and their impacts.
7. Control Plan
o A detailed plan to ensure process control and consistent production quality.
8. Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
o Studies to ensure measurement systems (e.g., gages) are accurate and reliable.
9. Dimensional Results
o A report of measured dimensions for the part, confirming compliance with specifications.
10. Records of Material/Performance Tests
o Documentation of material and performance test results (e.g., tensile strength, hardness).
11. Initial Process Studies (e.g., Capability Study)
o Data showing that the process is capable and stable (e.g., Cpk and Ppk values).
12. Qualified Laboratory Documentation
o Certificates and credentials of the laboratory used for testing, ensuring compliance with standards.
13. Appearance Approval Report (AAR)
o Required for parts with specific aesthetic requirements (e.g., color, texture).
14. Sample Product Parts
o Physical samples submitted to the customer for verification.
15. Master Sample
o A "gold standard" part retained at the supplier site to compare future production parts.
16. Checking Aids
o Any fixtures, templates, or tools used to inspect or measure the part.
17. Customer-Specific Requirements
o Additional documents or information specified by the customer.
18. Part Submission Warrant (PSW)
o A summary document that verifies all PPAP elements are complete, and the supplier is ready for production.
