For your consideration: Are there 18 or 19 items in the PPAP 4th Ed. document Retention/Submission Requirements?
Here's what I've noticed:
1) The Retention/Submission Requirements Table on page 18 lists 18 numbered items and 1 item left un-numbered (Bulk Materials Checklist), each with their cooresponding retention/submission requirements.
2) On the Truck Industry PSW on page 61 there are 19 checkboxes to indicate the possible documents included with a level 4 submission. (do we really need a checkbox on the PSW to indicate that a PSW is included? but I digress.)
Seems obvious enough...some one just forgot to number Bulk Materials Checklist on page 18.
Then I noticed this:
3) In the GM Customer Specifics issued in March,
www.iaob.org/content/rev042606_GMCustSpecificsTS16949_PPAP_Mar06.pdf
page 7 includes a reference (and I quote):
"As a reference the following is a list of the 18 requirements from PPAP see
Retention/Submission Requirements, Table 4.1 and the GM ILM retention period for each
item"
It then goes on to show a slightly modified version of Table 4.2 on PPAP page 18 - no mention of the Bulk Materials Checklist.
----------------------------------
My take on it is that the 19th checkbox on the Truck Ind. PSW refers to the Bulk Materials Checklist.
I've not yet had to deal with PPAPing Bulk Materials, but it's looking as though I will in the near future. Any thoughts?
