In-Person Training
In-Person Training consists of public classes conducted by one of our subject matter experts at one of our designated locations in one or more consecutive days.
Target Audience
Anyone involved with Production Part Approval Process submissions, including those in quality, engineering, and those involved in the testing or measurement of PPAP sample parts.
Prerequisites
It is desirable but not absolutely necessary that participants should have some degree of knowledge of FMEA, SPC, MSA with Gage R&R, and/or APQP.
Course Objectives
Participants will become familiar with the work required before an actual PPAP can be performed, the process of developing and submitting a Part Submission Warrant (PSW), the forms that must be used, and the PPAP requirements of the major auto, truck and tire manufacturers. Become more adept at resolution of new problems because of the rigorously-documented product history, track quality enhancements over product lifecycles and improve relations with suppliers and customers.
