Process changes related to Components

hi all,

I always thought this to be a bit in the gray area of the customer notification requirments of the PPAP manual.

table 3.1 in the manual gives a list of examples where customer notifications are required. One of them being the one that applies to product and process changes related to the components of production products. Notification would only be required when they affect customer requirements, being fit, form, function, durability and/or performance.

Does this mean that if a parrt is still meeting the print (and is still capable) after the change that we don't have to notify the customer of the change?

Are there any other ways of interpreting this?

Does someone has experience with the customer defining requirments of how to proof something does NOT affect FFFPD?

Thanks
Steven

It's not whether or not it DOES affect it after the change, but COULD it. Even though it still meets dimensional, etc. requirements there could still be the potential for an unknown effect. Customer wants to know IN ADVANCE so they can decide whether or not to revalidate, etc.

That kind of makes it a subjective interpretation then.
From a sub-suppliers point of view I can state that my process change won't affect FFFPD, refer to my PFMEA to proof that out, and be done with it.

To proof that it actually does not affect FFFPD i'll need to supply the data (first article inspection and/or capability data, before/after data).
