What Is PPAP (Production Parts Approval Process)?

The Production Parts Approval Process (said P-PAP) is the automotive industry standard that ensures engineering design and product specifications are met. Integral to the Automotive manufacturing industry, a PPAP is a significant development process and core tool the establishes the confidence of manufacturers up the supply chain for new parts and the processes used in making these parts.

What are the benefits of PPAP?

  • Consistent part approval process
  • Assurance parts conform to customer requirements
  • Evidence of process stability
  • Controls product and process change process, providing an approval outlet for all changes to ensure conformance to the next level assembly/process

What specific challenge(s) does this address?

  • Provides understanding of information required to obtain part approval and standardizes the part approval process
  • How to obtain approval of parts/processes after part design changes and/or process changes
  • Ensures part submissions are submitted with proper information and enough data to sustain product conformance
  • Provides a record of part conformance at launch (allows for measurement of drift from origin)
  • Details pertinent design records to ensure traceability of part design status at origin
  • Controls product and process change process, providing an approval outlet for all changes to ensure conformance to the next level assembly/process
