Introduction Production part review and approval is required for each part before the first shipment of production quantities to RBAU. Review of the Purchased parts at RBAU is in accordance with the requirements of the QS9000 PPAP (Production Part Approval Process).

1.2

Purpose The purpose of Production Part Approval Process is to determine if all RBAU Production drawing and specification requirements have been met by the supplier, and to ensure that the manufacturing process has the potential to meet these requirements on an ongoing basis. Production parts are only to be delivered to RBAU after the PPAP has been approved, or with a prior approved RBAU concession to authorise shipment from supplier. The Concession number must be quoted on the delivery documentation for all stock shipped under Concession. The Supplier has the responsibility to ensure that Concession authorised quantities and expiry dates are not exceeded.

1.3

Applicability All direct production materials supplied to RBAU.

Production Part Approval Process by RBAU is always required before the first production shipment of product for situations specified in “When Submission is Required” section of the QS9000 PPAP Manual. Make sure to contact your RBAU Buyer or Supplier Quality Engineer if there is any question concerning the PPAP. The Supplier will be requested by RBAU to prepare a PPAP submission for any of these situations. It is the responsibility of the Supplier to notify the RBAU Supplier Quality Engineer when any of the changes requiring submission in the QS9000 PPAP Manual, will occur or have occurred without prior instruction from RBAU. The supplier will be advised by RBAU of the resulting obligation for PPAP submission. 2.2

Submission of PPAP

2.2.1

New Projects/Parts/Suppliers: Once RBAU has selected the supplier, a PLP (refer PLP Instruction) is sent to the supplier stating PPAP submission requirements. If specified in the PLP, a PGQP (refer PGQP Instruction) is to be agreed upon by RBAU & Supplier to ensure the necessary controls are in place for the quality manufacture of production stock. The PPAP Submission is to be compiled by the supplier in accordance with the PLP Checklist. If the samples or documentation do not comply fully with RBAU specifications and/or the PLP Checklist, the supplier must correct or obtain a written acceptance from RBAU via the Supplier Quality Engineer. This acceptance must be submitted with PPAP. The supplier is to pack PPAP Samples & Documentation together but separate from other deliveries. This package is to be clearly marked “PPAP Submission”, and the PPAP Order Number is to be quoted on all delivery documentation. The PPAP will be assessed by RBAU and the supplier advised of the disposition. PPAP Re-submission: The Re-Approval of a part may be initiated by either RBAU or the supplier. When the Re-Submission is initiated by RBAU, the supplier will be instructed to resubmit PPAP, and will be provided a PLP to nominate the requirements for the PPAP. If there is a change at the suppliers premises that necessitates Re-Submission, as specified by the QS 9000 guidelines, this must be advised to RBAU Purchasing buyer or the relevant Supplier Quality Engineer.
