Seminar Content
PPAP is the benchmark production material qualification process across manufacturing
sectors, first introduced by the automotive sector and now adopted by aerospace
and others. This one-day overview focuses on the automotive version, showing how
PPAP is the culmination of the Advanced Product Quality Process (APQP) and providing
a detailed examination of PPAP requirements. Participants will have a unique opportunity
to assess an actual PPAP package during the seminar and determine if it meets PPAP
requirements. Participants will also understand the importance of customer-specific
requirements as they apply to PPAP and review some examples.
The approaches discussed and employed in this course are consistent with the intent
and requirements in the PPAP 4th Edition Reference Manual issued by FCA, Ford and
General Motors, published by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG).
Who Should Attend
- Persons who have direct responsibility for preparation, assembly or review of PPAP
components or packages.
