Re: PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) Submission Level Differences - Forms atta
Unless you have nothing to do as a Quality staff member, asking the customer to define Level 2 PPAP submissions after the acceptance of a contract/P.O. is like inviting the SQE to live in your conference room and run your department for you.
Level 2 is basically a PSW and any documents that were identified during the quoting process and in your customer's Supplier Quality Policy for initial and annual submission. Normally this includes dimensional results, material certifications, gage R & R for any customer attribute gages, IMDS, as required, and a ballooned print.
Other documents such as
PFMEA, Control Plans, Process Flow Charts and Capability studies should be available for customer review, but not sent with the initial submission package.
If any dimensions are not to specification, a Corrective Action Plan should accompany the PSW.
Hope this helps and good luck. But most of all, do not invite your customer into your living room.
