PPAP stands for Production Part Approval Process. PPAP is a standardized process used in the automotive industry to ensure that suppliers meet the requirements for production parts. It involves a series of documentation and approval steps to demonstrate that the supplier's manufacturing process is capable of consistently producing parts that meet the customer's specifications. PPAP includes elements such as design records, engineering change documents, control plans, measurement system analysis, and sample parts. The purpose of PPAP is to reduce the risk of non-conforming parts being used in production and to ensure the overall quality of the supplied parts. PPAP is often required by automotive manufacturers before a supplier can begin production or when introducing a new part or process.
