PPAP Software for Part Submission

A submission is a list of required elements, and most of them are documents your team already produced. EasyQualityFlow builds the package from those records instead of asking someone to collect them from folders the week it is due.

The problem

Two customers, two element lists, one process.

The hard part of PPAP is rarely producing the documents. It is that every customer wants a slightly different set of them, named their way, in their order, approved by their required roles — and that knowledge usually lives in one experienced person’s head, or in a PDF of a customer manual nobody has re-read since 2019.

Holding those rules as a requirement profile against the customer turns that into configuration. The submission then knows what it owes, and can tell you what is missing before the customer does.

Elements from the customer profile

Which elements are required is read from that customer’s requirement profile, not from a generic checklist.

Evidence, linked

An element points at the record that satisfies it — the actual PFMEA at the actual revision, not a copy.

Submission level

The level is part of the record, and it changes which elements are required.

Approval state per element

Each element carries its own state, so a package can be partly approved without being wrongly called ready.

What is outstanding

The gap is the thing you need to see. Outstanding elements are listed as work.

Part Submission Warrant

The warrant sits with the submission it belongs to.

Where it sits

PPAP is last, and that is the whole idea.

By the time a submission is assembled, the process flow, the PFMEA, the control plan, the MSA studies, the capability studies and the inspection results already exist. The submission references them rather than recreating them.

  • Required elements driven by the customer requirement profile
  • Evidence linked to the source record and revision
  • Outstanding elements visible as work
  • Approval state tracked per element
  • Customer-specific naming and sequence via form templates
FAQ

Questions about PPAP software

What is PPAP?
The Production Part Approval Process is how a supplier demonstrates to a customer that it can make a part to specification, repeatably, before shipping production volume. It is a defined set of evidence — the design record, process flow, FMEA, control plan, measurement system analysis, capability studies, sample parts and a signed warrant among them — submitted at a level the customer specifies.
What are PPAP submission levels?
Levels describe how much of the evidence is actually sent to the customer versus retained at your site and available on request. A higher level means more is submitted. EasyQualityFlow records the level on the submission, and the level affects which elements it treats as required.
How does the software know what my customer requires?
Through a requirement profile — a reusable rule set held against that customer covering required elements, document naming, sequence, approval roles and submission rules. Set it up once per customer and every submission for that customer follows it.
Does it automate the whole submission?
It assembles the package from the records already in the system and tells you what is still missing. It does not invent evidence: a capability study that has not been run is reported as outstanding, not generated.
Can we use it for customers who are not automotive?
Yes. The element list and rules come from the profile you configure, so a customer with their own bespoke requirement set is handled the same way as one following a standard format.
