As I said above the requirement is for a product and manufacturing process approval process. You define it and it seems to me that you have and you abide by the requirement.

Thank you all

We manufacture very little, however we outsource a ton of stuff. The APQP process as I know deals with more of a manufactured process for new products. We have that in-place, however I was wondering about the purchase for resale items. I agree if my customer base requires it we shall do. My question is will it be a requirement that a auditor (TS) will look for on those purchased parts? We currently do not require PPAP submissions form our suppliers, however they do go through a liminted quilifaction process to allow product to be purchased suchs as testing, visual and dimensional.

As an auditor, I think I would have a problem with what you described. You have to do APQP, to a degree adequate to ensure that the resulting product meets the customers requirements. I have had clients who got QR's because pass through product failed. They were held responsible.

You are required to do Quality Planning. The supplier's APQP and PPAP input is used as part of your planning. If neither of you are doing that, you are both flying blind.

However, what is done, how much and by whom, may all be variables to be decided. But the result has to be adequate to ensure the customer's needs are met.
