Q
I am sure this question has been asked but I just can't find it! Do you have to apply PPAP to your company and your suppliers if you have no customer specific requirements?
Is it a violation of our TS certification if we refuse verbal requests from our customers supplier quality engineers (not buyers) to institute blue book processes such as PPAP after a PO has been approved by both parties and they have already been accepting product for months without it?
There is some thought in our company that you must do PPAP and any of the blue book requirements if your are to be TS 16949 certified regardless if you have CSRs or not, as it is implied, is this true?
(note: we supply to folks like Siemans and Continental who then supply to some OEMs)
