[FONT="]I have compiled the information from a previous post of mine from DrM2U and Jim Wynne and made a[/FONT][FONT="] sorta short form guideline to creating my PPAP submission book and a short[/FONT][FONT="] explanation what should be in each section of the book...This could be helpful[/FONT][FONT="] to newbies like me and others assembling a PPAP submission for the first time It has helped me thus far.....[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]Please correct, add or modify this list in anyway that seems[/FONT]
[FONT="]appropriate...Again, this is for me...but could help some other folks out too!!
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Pardon me if any of this seems ignorant...i'm most definitely a green horn and trying to[/FONT][FONT="] make my way thru this process and learn it with the help of the folks here at Elsmar...I[/FONT][FONT="] appreciate everyone's input, help, advice

[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]1.[/FONT][FONT="]DESIGN RECORD[/FONT]
-Design record: you need to have a copy of the print(s) for the part you are making, the latest revision specified by the customer, ideally 'ballooned' to cross-reference to the layout report dimensions
[FONT="]2.[/FONT][FONT="]ENGINEERING CHANGE DOCUMENTS[/FONT]
-ECN's: any ECN's showing the change from previous revision to the current one (usually provided by the customer unless you are design responsible)
[FONT="]3. CUSTOMER ENGINEERING APPROVAL[/FONT]
- Customer Engineering approval: if the customer needs to approve anything (i.e. materials, suppliers, components, etc)
[FONT="]4. DESIGN FMEA[/FONT]
- DFMEA: must perform if you are design responsible, otherwise it COULD be provided by the customer sometimes
[FONT="]5. PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM[/FONT]
- Process flow diagram: YOUR outline of the process or processes employed to produce the product,
from receiving to shipping and anything else in between (i.e. storage, molding, packaging, etc)
[FONT="]6. PROCESS FMEA[/FONT]
- PFMEA: YOUR analysis for each process step; I suggest doing one for each process step if you have processes
common to other product (i.e. receiving, shipping, material handling)
[FONT="]7. CONTROL PLAN [/FONT]
- Control Plan: your controls for each process; use the PFMEA and DFMEA as inputs; follow the same approach as the PFMES (i.e. one for each process)
[FONT="]8. MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS ANALYSIS[/FONT]
- MSA studies: usually gage R&R studies for the inspection equipment used to inspect this product and/or to control process parameters; the MSA manual can guide you through
[FONT="]9. DIMENSIONAL RESULTS [/FONT]
- Dimensional results: full dimensional results report per customer's print; ask the customer for how many parts, usually 1/cavity
[FONT="]10. MATERIAL PERFORMANCE TEST RESULTS[/FONT]
-Material testing, material & component certs (i.e. Dow Chemical laboratory certifying a raw material),
IMDS
[FONT="]11. INITIAL PROCESS STUDIES[/FONT]
-Process capability for normal distribution processes must be from 100 samples (20 subgroups of 5 parts)
randomly selected out of a 300 piece run unless otherwise authorized by the customer quality representative
[FONT="]12. QUALIFIED LABORATORY DOCUMENTATION[/FONT]
- Qualified laboratory: copies of accreditation certs AND scope for any laboratory used for product testing, material testing
[FONT="]13. APPEARANCE APPROVAL REPORT (AAR)[/FONT]
- AAR report: required for parts where final appearance is to be certified by customer (ie. Color, texture)
[FONT="]14. SAMPLE PRODUCT[/FONT]
- Sample product: from significant sample run as specified by the customer
[FONT="]15. MASTER SAMPLE[/FONT]
Master sample: a sample retained on site for reference purposes from the significant sample product run; in addition to the Sample Product quantity, preferably the samples used for “dimensional layouts”
[FONT="]16. CHECKING AIDS[/FONT]
- Checking aids: submit calibration/verification records for any device used specifically to check the part in question Note: the requirement is to submit the device as well as the documentation, if requested by the customer.
[FONT="]17. RECORDS OF COMPLIANCE WITH CUSTOMER SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS[/FONT]
- Records of compliance with the customer's specific requirements: usually a copy of your ISO 9001 or TS 16949 registration certificate, unless the customer has additional requirements
[FONT="]18. PART SUBMISSION WARRANT (PSW)[/FONT]
- PSW: the completed PSW form; there is a copy on the PPAP manual if needed
