PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) is very common term used within automotive part manufacturers or OEM’s. Basically it is one of the core tools of quality and it indicates the confirmation of the Customer Specific Requirements which is one of the goals of TS16949 / IATF 16949. Before moving to the methodology of PPAP, let’s discuss the TS16949 / IATF16949 goals and its relation with the core tools of quality. Goals of TS 16949 / IATF 16949:2016 implementation 1.
