I will try not to get too lengthy on this, but I am desperate for some help. We have 1 customer requiring PPAP. It is a Tier 1 supplier. If I am wrong, please straighten me out quickly.... Every single time we buy a new tool or fix a broken, used tool, every time we use a different press, a different furnace, a different supplier, a different ANYTHING, we need to do a level 3 PPAP again. This could add up to 24 hours of PPAPs. I am sure we are not the only company who deals with this. I can imagine Tier 1 suppliers dealing directly with the Big 3 (we are a tier 2 supplier), are doing 24 hour PPAPing or they are doing something with their customers to keep this under control. I have been asked to present something to the customer to get a waiver for all of these continuous PPAPS. I'm in a bind, but will find a way out eventually. Can anybody tell me how they handle this with their customers? I would be extremely grateful for any help I can get. THANKS! I am not looking for a way to screw the customer out of quality-the quality is there. But I'm not fond of telling a customer they need to pay $$$$ for each one of these PPAP's or we can't do them either.
