What are Yellow and Green PPAPs for Daimler?

[M Meraz]

Hello to all the forum,

If this topic exists already, please indicate me where to go. I look alredy in the fourm search tool and doesn't show nothing.

Recently I was requiered from my customer (DAIMLER) to issue a time schedule to deliver YELLOW AND GREEN PPAPs... to be honest this is the first time I heard about those PPAP's. Could any one help please?

Thank you in advance.

Thats a new one on me as well. Best suggestion is to ask your SQE exactly what they are expecting/what they mean.

Any answers you get here MIGHT be incorrect - when you have the opportunity to do so, it is always best to ask your customer.

Well, I think I will do then. Frankly speaking I did it already and they are not responded yet. Thank you.

Let us know what happens. I haven't heard of either of these either.

They are Germans..... sometimes they like to complicate stuff...

Yellow PPAP is an Interim approval.

Green PPAP is full approval.


BMW does it the same way.

Even VW likes to work on colors to evaluate the projects:

The determined readiness (evaluation points) leads to the following conclusions:
< 8.5 = Project status RED = Requirements not fulfilled, project goal at risk
> 8.5 - < 9.5 = Project status
YELLOW.
= Requirements not completely fulfilled. Implementation
of improvement measures mandatory.
> 9.5 = Project status
GREEN
= Requirements almost fulfilled. Currently no problems
expected.
This you can find it on the FORMEL-Q and remember.... they are Germans.
