Hello
In a week or two am I going to start working with the PPAP-process. The idee is that my project should result in a plan for how a medium sized company can adopt PPAP as their comsumers has start to ask questions in that direction. Well meanwile, I have to get some knowledge about PPAP, but as Iīm not employed yet I canīt use their PPAP (ISO/TS 16949) manual.

How can i gain information without buying any products? So far I have found a list of the 18 elements that should be included in a full PPAP and a PPAP requirements list from Bendix (The company). But I canīt find any free information about for example how a DFMEA/PFMEA should be done.

//Hopefully my english will evolve during this project :)

Most of the basic information is here: APQP and PPAP Basics (http://elsmar.com/APQP/).

In fact what you need to know more than PPAP is APQP.
PPAP is in fact just a way of documenting the APQP process.
FMEA is a tool which is not explained in the PPAP book but rather in the FMEA book,FMEA (http://elsmar.com/FMEA/) and searching the forum will also give a lot of info.
Good Luck
