Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) or First Article Inspection (FAI) Support

​

Both PPAP and FAI is a standardized process to ensure suppliers can meet the design, manufacturability, packaging,  and quality requirements of the parts supplied to the customer.  As it is often stated, "Anyone can do something once, but can you repeat it again, and again?"   PPAP & FAI helps to prove the supplier has the capability to CONSISTENTLY, deliver the product to requirements before, during, and after launch.  Any changes in the process, requires re-submittal of the product or process for approval.  Our consultants are also available for support on specific target elements (FMEA, Control Plan, Gage R&R, etc.)
