PPAP and Submission

PPAP is the contract that proves a supplier can build a production part to spec, every time. It bundles the design record, process flow, PFMEA, control plan, MSA, capability study, dimensional results, and customer specific paperwork into one submission that an OEM signs off before approving production. Quality engineers live in PPAP, but most teams still run it on a spreadsheet, a shared drive, and a prayer. The guides in this topic walk through the 18 elements, the submission levels, the gotchas that hold up signoff, and what changes when a platform owns the document trail instead of a human.
