Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)

The ETQ Reliance PPAP application helps companies drive efficiency and reduce risk within their organization because it allows them to:

  • Evaluate the components and subsystems received from suppliers
  • Establish clear design specifications for suppliers
  • Monitor supplier compliance with these standards

Is a supplier consistently meeting your company’s established design and quality specifications or not?

Thanks to ETQ Reliance’s Production Part Approval Process application you can manage product and process change requests; submissions, approvals and, optionally, waivers.

By involving suppliers in your internal quality processes, you can build your supplier relationship and confidence in the supplier’s management system.
