What is APQP?
Advanced Product Quality
Planning Cycle
APQP Background
Automotive industry challenges:
Solution:
Ford, GM, Chrysler APQP Task Force jointly developed in the
late 80s to standardize their respective supplier quality
systems.
Continuous Improvement:
Many industries outside the Automotive industry have
embraced the AIAG APQP process to achieve similar benefits

What is PPAP?
Production Part Approval Process
Standard used to formally reduce risks prior to product
or service release, in a team oriented manner using
well established tools and techniques
Initially developed by AIAG (Auto Industry Action
Group) in 1993 with input from the Big 3 - Ford,
Chrysler, and GM
AIAGs 4th edition effective June 1, 2006 is the most
recent version
PPAP has now spread to many different industries
beyond automotive
2014 Eaton. All Rights Reserved.
17
Production Run
PPAP data must be submitted from a
production run using:
18
Purpose of PPAP
Provide evidence that all customer
engineering design record and specification
requirements are properly understood by the
organization
To demonstrate that the manufacturing
process has the potential to produce product
that consistently meets all requirements during
an actual production run at the quoted
production rate

FMEA Origins
Initially developed by the
US Military as Failure
Mode Effects and Criticality
Analysis (FMECA)
Widely adopted by NASA
during the 1960s to prevent
errors on the Apollo
program
Brought over to the
automotive industry by
Ford after issues with Pinto
fuel tanks

PFMEA - Step 1
Failure Modes
For each Process Input,
determine the ways in
which the input can go
wrong.
TIP
There should be at least one failure mode for each input.

PFMEA - Step 2
Potential Failure Effects
For each Failure Mode,
determine what effect
the specific failure
could have on the
process output.
TIPS
There should be at least one failure effect for each failure mode.
Effects should be specific, clear, and leave no doubt to the uninformed reviewer.

PFMEA Step 3
Class

51
PFMEA - Step 4
Potential Causes
For each Failure Mode,
determine the possible
cause of the failure.
TIP
There should be at least one potential cause for each failure mode.
2014 Eaton. All Rights Reserved.
52
53
PFMEA - Step 5
Current Controls
For each potential
cause, list the current
method used for
preventing and/or
detecting failure.
TIPS
This step in the FMEA begins to identify initial shortcomings or gaps in the current control plan.
If a procedure exists, enter the document number.
If no current control exists, list as none. There may not be both preventive and detection controls.

PFMEA - Step 6
Assign Detection
(How easily can the
cause or failure
mode be detected?)

(How serious is the
effect if it fails?)

the cause to
occur?)

3 Distinct Phases
1. Prototype a description of the dimensional measurements and material
and performance tests that will occur during Prototype build.
2. Pre-Launch a description of the dimensional measurements and material
and performance tests that will occur after Prototype and before full
Production.
3. Production a comprehensive documentation of product/process
characteristics, process controls, tests, and measurement systems that will
occur during mass production

Use process flow diagram and PFMEA to build the control plan;
keep them aligned
Controls should be effective. Keep it simple.
Ensure that the control plan is in your document control system
Good control plans address:
All testing requirements - dimensional, material, and performance
All product and process characteristics at every step throughout the process
83
84
When to Use It
On systems measuring critical inputs
and outputs prior to collecting data
for analysis.
For any new or modified process in
order to ensure the quality of the
data.
Who Should be Involved
Everyone that measures and makes
decisions about these measurements
should be involved in the MSA.

1.

2.
Identify the appraisers they should be operator who normally use the gage
3.
If appropriate, calibrate the gage or verify that the last calibration date is valid
4.
Open the GR&R VAR(Tol) worksheet in the AIAG Core Tools file to record data, or use
MiniTab
5.
Have each appraiser assess each part 3 times preferably in random order (Minitab can

MSA Summary
Measurement systems must be analyzed BEFORE
embarking on process improvement activities
MSA helps understand how much observed variation is
from the measurement system
MSA will tell you about the repeatability, reproducibility and
discrimination
Sample selection is very important sample during normal
production to capture total range of process variation
MSA assessors should be operators that would normally
use the measurement system
MSA should be done on a regular basis

PPAP Summary
PPAP checks that any process changes have
been properly designed and validated, and the
resulting process is capable of repeatedly
producing parts to specification
The PPAP elements should be part of your
Quality Management System. PPAP shouldnt
require much extra effort, because youve already
done the work internally to manage your changes.
Reacting to later issues with the product or
process can be expensive and time-consuming!
