PPAP according to the AIAG manual – # 332
790.00 € HT
Context
Applicable to all parts and products, the principles of the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) help to reduce delays and non-conformities during part approval by providing a consistent approval process.
The PPAP is a file that accompanies the initial samples. It is an essential step in the customer-supplier relationship.
The AIAG manual describes the process for demonstrating that the technical design and product specifications are met by the supplier’s manufacturing process and defines the rules for the composition, submission and preparation of the PPAP file.
Objectives
- Understanding the principles of the PPAP
- Understand the role of the PPAP and its importance in the customer-supplier relationship
- Be able to draw up and validate a PPAP
- Understand the different levels of the PPAP
- Know how to develop the PPAP in the context of changes made to the product or process during the product’s lifecycle
Recommended for
Anyone involved in the following activities:
- Product and process validation
- Communication to customers on product and process validations or modifications
- Validation of suppliers’ products and processes

Specific operating conditions for remote sessions
- Have a PC equipped with a microphone, webcam and, if possible, a headset for greater comfort. Note: To blur or hide the view from behind, background screens are available in Zoom or Teams.
- A good Internet connection, tested before the session.
- Locate in a quiet, isolated area; switch to “not available” status in Teams; close your email access and mute your phone to avoid distraction during the session.
- To avoid off-topic discussions during the session, participants from the same organisation should not be grouped together in the same room, but rather at their own desks. Virtual sub-groups will be set up specifically for the exercises, which will also allow for mixed groups to be created.
- The webcam and microphone must be open during remote qualification/certification exams. It may also be necessary for us to check that you are the only one in the room.
- We ask that you connect at least 5 minutes before the beginning of the session.
Training method
Trainees identify PPAP best practice at each key stage of the methodology:
- Open session: application to a case study.
- In-house session: application to a case study specific to the company selected during preparation.
Evaluation mode
- Knowledge test (multiple-choice questions)
Course materials
