Ppap Training Presentation

Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)
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
•AIAG’s 4th edition effective June 1, 2006 is the most
recent version
•PPAP has now spread to many different industries
beyond automotive
NCR Confidential 2
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
PPAP manages change and ensures

product conformance!
NCR Confidential 3
When is PPAP Required?
New part
Engineering change(s)
Tooling: transfer, replacement, refurbishment, or additional
Correction of discrepancy
Tooling inactive > one year
Change to optional construction or material
Sub-supplier or material source change
Change in part processing
Parts produced at a new or additional location
PPAP is required with any significant

change to product or process!
NCR Confidential 4
Benefits of PPAP Submissions
•Helps to maintain design integrity
•Identifies issues early for resolution
•Reduces warranty charges and prevents cost of poor

quality
•Assists with managing supplier changes
•Prevents use of unapproved and nonconforming parts
•Identifies suppliers that need more development
•Improves the overall quality of the product & customer

satisfaction
NCR Confidential 5
Production Run
•PPAP data must be submitted from a production run

using:
Production equipment and tooling
Production employees
Production rate
Production process
All data reflects the actual production

process to be used at start-up!
NCR Confidential 6
Run @ Rate
•The purpose of a Run @ Rate is to verify the supplier’s

manufacturing process is capable of producing
components that meet NCR’s quality requirements, at
quoted tooling capacity, for a specified period of time
•Verification of the Run @ Rate will be at the Supplier
Quality Engineer’s (SQE) discretion. The supplier will
be notified of the need to perform a Run @ Rate as early
in the process as possible.
•The number of components to be produced during the
Run @ Rate should be sufficient to demonstrate process
capability and will be predetermined by the SQE and the
supplier.
 Factors such as product complexity, shelf life, storage, cost and
single shift vs. multiple shift operations will be taken into
consideration

PFMEA – Remediation Guidelines
Severity – can only be improved by a design change to

the product or process
Occurrence – can only be reduced by a change which

removes or controls a cause. Examples are redundancy,
substituting a more reliable component or function or
mistake-proofing.
Detection – can be reduced by improving detection.

Examples are mistake-proofing, simplification and
statistically sound monitoring.

Summary Steps To Complete a FMEA
1. For each Process Input, determine the ways in which the Process Step can go
wrong (these are Failure Modes).
2. For each Failure Mode associated with the inputs, determine Effects on the
outputs.
3. Identify potential Causes of each Failure Mode.
4. List the Current Controls for each Cause.
5. Assign Severity, Occurrence and Detection ratings after creating a ratings
key appropriate for your project.
6. Calculate RPN.
7. Determine Recommended Actions to reduce High RPNs.
8. Take appropriate Actions and Document.
9. Recalculate RPNs.
10. Revisit steps 7 and 8 until all the significant RPNs have been addressed.

Audit Plans
•Audit plans should be included in the control plan as a separate
line.
•Auditing is an important tool for control.
•Process auditing should be a key element of the quality system

of a business.
•Audits generally cover:

 Effectiveness of controls
 Control plan (say) vs. what is actually done (do)
•Audits should be objective (done by internal or external third

parties if possible).
•Audit frequencies should be based on balancing level of risk

(FMEA) and cost.
NCR Confidential 63
Control Plan – Example
A supplier manufactures a circuit board with electronic components soldered on the

board. Properly soldered connections are the major product characteristics. Two major
process characteristics for the wave solder machine are solder level and flux
concentration. An automated feeder controls the solder level by sensing the level of
solder and feeding in additional solder as the level is reduced. This characteristic is
measured 100% by checking electrically for continuity. The flux must be sampled and
tested for the concentration level. Control

Good control plans address:

All testing requirements - dimensional, material, and performance
All product and process characteristics at every step throughout the process
The control method should be based on an effective analysis of the process
Such as SPC, Error Proofing, Inspection, Sampling Plan
Control plans should reference other documentation
Specifications, tooling, etc.

– Determine best “practical solution” (may require some experimentation).
– Pilot the best solution (PDSA)
– Implement best solution – train employees.
– Re-run the study to verify the improvement.

Variable MSA – Gage R&R Example
Problem Statement
• The sulfuric acid concentration in process tank 8 is measured at least
once per day
• Additions/deletions of chemicals and decisions to shut down the
process are dependent on these results.
• Based on current data, we need to do an MSA.
MSA Process
A Gage R&R was conducted in order to validate
the process.

Tips and Lessons Learned
Important: An MSA is an analysis of the process, not an

analysis of the people. If an MSA fails, the process failed.
A Variable MSA provides more analysis capability than an

Attribute MSA. For this and other reasons, always use variable
data if possible.
The involvement of people is the key to success.

Involve the people that actually work the process
Involve the supervision
Involve the suppliers and customers of the process
An MSA primarily addresses precision with limited accuracy

information.
NCR Confidential 93
MSA
If the gage/inspection affects quality, then conduct a

Gage R&R
Make sure the study is recent - less than 1 year

Compare the control plan gages against the Gage R&Rs
If you question that gage, then
−Question the technique and part sampling
−Ask for additional studies

Capability Analysis
What is It?
A set of tools used to understand
process capability.
• To evaluate the performance of
your process as compared to
specification limits.
• To determine if the production
process is likely to produce product
that will meet customer
requirements
When to Use It
1. To establish baseline capability.
2. To validate process
improvements.

Steps for Determining Process Capability
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7
1. Decide on the product or process characteristic to be assessed
2. Validate the specification limits
3. Validate the measurement system
4. Collect data
5. Assess data characteristics
6. Assess process stability
7. Calculate process capability

Step 1: Which Characteristic
Decide on the product or process characteristic to be assessed.

Step 1  Required for all critical characteristics
 If no critical characteristics exist, NCR reserves the right to require
demonstration of initial process capability on other characteristics

Step 2: Specification Limits
Step 2 Validate the specification limits by

talking to:
– Customers, suppliers, controlling agencies
Why is validation of the specification
limits important?
– They may not represent what the customer truly
desires/needs.
– May contain “guard banding” as a result of past

problems or measurement error.
– They may be based on previous designs and no

longer be valid.

Step 3: Measurement System
Validate the measurement

Step 3 system through the appropriate
MSA
Why is validation of the

Measurement System important?
– If there is significant error in your
measurement system, then decisions are
influenced by the error not just the
measurements themselves.

Step 4: Data Collection
Step 4 When collecting data, consider the
following:
– Short term data
» Free of special causes
» Collected across a narrow inference space i.e.
one shift, one machine, one operator, etc..
– Long term data

» Subjected to the effects of both random and
special cause variation
» Collected across a broad inference space i.e.

multiple shifts, machines, operators, etc.

Step 4: Data Collection
When collecting data, consider the following:

Step 4
– Rational sub-grouping
» A group of units produced under the same set of
conditions
» Mean to represent a “snapshot” of the process
Example: » Must be taken close together in time, but still be
independent of each other
A die cut machine produces
» Use subgroups 100 plastic

 Between subgroup: variation between subgroups that
may be caused by specific identifiable factors, or
special causes
» To improve process quality, every effort should be made
to eliminate between subgroup variation and reduce
within subgroup variation

Step 6: Process Stability
Assess process stability in order to understand

Step 6 how your process behaves over time. Control
charts are the recommended tool.
Control Chart Examples
Process is stable and in Process is not stable and

control therefore not in control
Capability is only valid
when the process being
studied is stable!

Step 7: Process Capability
Calculate the appropriate statistical metrics in

order to determine how the “Voice of the
Process” compares to the “Voice of the
Customer.”
Capability Metrics: PPM, DPMO, Cp, Cpk, Pp,

& Ppk ; Sigma Levels (Z Scores)

If you were driving a truck, and the dotted lines were the
construction barriers, what would be happening in each situation?

Focus on Variable Data
The initial process study should be focused on variable,

variable
not attribute data
 Assembly errors, test failures, and surface defects are examples of
attribute data, which is important to understand, but is not covered
in this initial study
 To understand the performance of characteristics monitored by

attribute data will require more data collected over time
 Unless approved by an authorized NCR representative, attribute

data are not acceptable for PPAP submission

Capability Indices - Cpk
Cpk predicts capability

Based on short term within subgroup variation
Does not include the effect of process variability between
subgroups
Cpk should be used when:

when
−Developing new parts
−Revising specifications on a part
−Materials, processes, manufacturing location, or equipment
have significantly changed
−Material suppliers have changed (include certificate of
analysis)

Capability Indices - Ppk
Ppk indicates past performance

Based on long term total variation
Unlike Cpk, Ppk is not limited to variation within subgroups
However, Ppk cannot isolate within subgroup variation
from between subgroup variation
When calculated from the same data set, Cpk and Ppk can
be compared to analyze the sources of process variation
Ppk should be used when:

– The supplier is new to NCR, but has already been
manufacturing a part
– The supplier is existing, but has produced a number of
nonconforming parts

Difference between Cp & Cpk
Cp – determines capability of producing to specification

Cpk – same as Cp, but also measures how centered the process is
It is important to look at both!
Cp > 1.67 Cp > 1.67

Cpk > 1.67 Cpk < 1.00

Ensure that the results are acceptable, and that the
process is stable and capable of producing a quality
part
PPAPs should only be approved if the capability is

greater than 1.67 for critical dimensions and greater
than 1.33 for non-critical dimensions

What is It?
Actual samples that reflect the parts
documented in the PPAP.
• Confirm cosmetic or functional
part approval.
When to Use It
• Sample parts should be delivered
WITH the PPAP submission

•The sample parts provided should be the same parts

measured for the dimensional results
•Default quantity for all submissions is 3 parts unless

otherwise requested

Sample production parts MUST be properly identified

– Include the following information on the part label:
• Date parts were packed
• NCR part number
• Quantity See NCR part label examples
on the next slide
• Serial number
• Supplier part number (optional)
• Part description
• Country of origin
• Indication of RoHS compliance
• Approval markings (UL, CE, etc.) where applicable

PPAP Summary
•The Production Part Approval Process is an extensive

approval process for new or changed designs or
processes
•It is very formalized, so it inevitably causes some

administrative work
•Later changes to the product or process can be

expensive and time-consuming!
