J69,

PPAP isn't implemented per se, it is the documentation that is submitted as the output of the APQP peocess.

If you don't already have one, I would purchase a copy of the AIAG PPAP manual. You can get them from: www.aiag.org

Also, take a look through the FTP site on the forum. There is a multitude of information available that will assist you.

And to answer your question, I don't know of any web sites that address PPAP specifically.

Good Luck,

ASD...

Just curious to know if the statements below have been amended in some way unknown to me and what is intended by the statements when combined. For example, if I have manufactured active PART A since 1975 with no changes that would impact a PPAP, but no PPAP currently exists and never has, should a PPAP be created to satisfy the second statement below.

Although I am aware that if the customer requests a PPAP, this would be irrelevant, at this point our customer has not.

I have searched the interpretations, and forums but no difinitive answer is found.

QS-9000 APPENDIX I (#11 / #12)

#11 "If there have been no changes in "part number, engineering change level, manufacturing location, material subcontractors or production process environment" since 1987, then no PPAPs would be expected unless specifically requested/notified by the OEM customer for that product. PPAP procedures must be in place and effective as appropriate for QS-9000 registration."

#12 "When suppliers have active part numbers which do not have the required PPAP documentation, the supplier shall initiate corrective action to ensure that they are in compliance with PPAP going forward. The supplier shall contact their customer part approval activity for further direction on how to disposition the existing PPAP files."

Thanks for any help out there. Since I am looking at 2500 part numbers, I need clarification.
