What Is an Approval Workflow?

The full translation of PPAP: Production part approval process. The PPAP specifies the general requirements for the approval of production parts, including production parts and bulk materials. The purpose of PPAP is to determine whether the supplier has correctly understood all the requirements of customer engineering design records and specifications, and whether its production process has potential capabilities, and in the actual production process, products that meet customer requirements at a specified production cycle.

[Training background]

How to meet customer needs? How to ensure the stability of output quality? How to pass the customer's recognition of our products? Today's advanced quality management concepts are based on the methods of process, preventive measures, and continuous improvement. They would rather spend some time and manpower in advance from product design and process technology development to ensure that the product's advanced quality is planned and perfected to ensure that subsequent production is reduced and reduced And waste.

Differences between PPAP Third Edition and PPAP Fourth Edition:

Increased requirements for trucks.

Reduce some form requirements.

More emphasis on the awareness of meeting the requirements of OEMs.

[Training Features]
