a really dumb question
Hi Cove Friends...Long time, no see
Looking for some thoughts from all of you "automotive" experts.
We have a new customer, who is not automotive, but someone in an influetial (sp) position came from this field. We are to be their testing ground for implementing an abreviated version of PPAP. Along with first article inspection, we need to provide a FMEA, Gage R&R, and CP data.
We will make about 1000 parts per year for them, utilizing less than 2% of our shop capacity to make this product.
All the info I have been reading so far seems to indicate this to be a HUGE waste of resorces for such a small volume of work.
I can definitly see the value-added if you are making 1000 per day or month, but at our level.....I just don't see the benefit.
We will definityly go through the process anyway.
Thanks all,
CarolX
