Thom Trimborn Lurker (<10 Posts) Posts: 3 From:Addison, Il, USA Registered: Jun 2000	posted 13 June 2000 11:14 AM While I understand the applications of PPAPs in contract manufacturing, I am curious if there is a scaled down version for job shops that produce short run assemblies (i.e 100 to 10,000 units). I would appriciate any guideance in this matter. IP: Logged

No scaled down versions in my expierience we folow PPAP individual customer instructins for designated level 1 2 or 3 parts (unless you can negotiate something directly with your customer) We have completed PPAP documentation for as few as 3 parts -1 time run prototypes... then gone back & upgraded the same documentation forms & formats for each change as they come up...

I agree that you have to have your customer "buy in" to your plan. Also if you have families of parts, you may try the idea of doing PPAPs on families rather than part numbers. That is the way we do it. IP: Logged
