AI-Powered Quality Engineering

PPAP Submission Management Software

AI-organized PPAP submissions with full document lineage

Assemble complete PPAP packages with element-by-element checklists, cross-validation between documents, and export to customer-ready formats. Documents generated in Build flow directly into your PPAP package with full lineage tracking, so every Control Plan, PFMEA, and Inspection Plan traces back to its sources. AI checks for gaps and inconsistencies before you submit.

Key Capabilities

18-Element Checklist

Track all 18 PPAP elements with status indicators, responsible owners, and due dates.

Build Integration

Documents generated in the Build module - Control Plans, PFMEAs, Process Flows, and Inspection Plans - flow directly into your PPAP package with their full APQP lineage intact.

Cross-Document Validation

Verify part numbers, revisions, and specifications match across all package documents. Document lineage ensures traceability from Process Flow through to Inspection Plan.

PSW Generation

Auto-generate Part Submission Warrants with data pulled from your completed package elements.

AI Gap Analysis

AI scans your package for missing documents, expired certifications, and incomplete requirements.

Export Formats

Export complete packages as PDF bundles, zip archives, or directly to customer portal formats.

How AI accelerates PPAP packaging

  • Scans all 18 elements for completeness and flags missing or outdated documents
  • Cross-references part numbers and revision levels across every document in the package
  • Validates document lineage - ensuring Control Plans trace back to PFMEAs and Process Flows from the Build module
  • Highlights missing evidence, expired certifications, and specification mismatches
  • Generates a pre-submission readiness report with a confidence score and action items

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the 18 PPAP elements?
The 18 PPAP elements defined by AIAG are: (1) Design Records, (2) Engineering Change Documents, (3) Customer Engineering Approval, (4) Design FMEA, (5) Process Flow Diagrams, (6) Process FMEA, (7) Control Plan, (8) Measurement System Analysis Studies, (9) Dimensional Results, (10) Material/Performance Test Results, (11) Initial Process Studies, (12) Qualified Laboratory Documentation, (13) Appearance Approval Report, (14) Sample Production Parts, (15) Master Sample, (16) Checking Aids, (17) Customer-Specific Requirements, and (18) Part Submission Warrant. QualityEngineer.ai tracks all 18 with status indicators, responsible owners, and due dates.
How does AI validate a PPAP package?
AI performs three types of validation: completeness checks (verifying all required elements for the submission level are present), cross-document validation (ensuring part numbers, revision levels, and specifications match across all documents), and gap analysis (flagging missing evidence, expired certifications, and incomplete requirements). The system generates a pre-submission readiness score with specific action items.
What PPAP submission levels does the platform support?
The platform supports all five PPAP submission levels: Level 1 (PSW only), Level 2 (PSW with product samples and limited data), Level 3 (PSW with product samples and complete supporting data, the most common level), Level 4 (PSW and other requirements as defined by the customer), and Level 5 (PSW with product samples and complete supporting data available for review at the supplier location).
Can suppliers upload documents through a portal?
Yes. QualityEngineer.ai includes a supplier portal where your suppliers can upload required documents directly into the PPAP package structure. Documents are automatically organized by element, and the system validates file types and notifies the quality team when uploads are complete.
How does this integrate with the rest of the quality workflow?
PPAP packages pull documents generated in the Build module (Control Plans, PFMEAs, Process Flows, Inspection Plans) with their full APQP lineage intact - so every document traces back to its source documents. Packages also reference evaluation scores from the Evaluate module, link to capability studies from the Analyze module, and connect to corrective actions in the Correct module. Document lineage and cross-document validation ensure your PPAP package contains consistent, traceable, up-to-date data from a single source of truth.
