#### Control plan and MSA notes

**Body:** Control plan: the bore diameter is a special characteristic controlled with an air gauge, 5 parts per hour, X-bar and R chart, and the reaction plan stops the machine and contains parts back to the last good check.

MSA: {{grr}}. Studies are done on the gauge named on the control plan, using 10 parts, 3 operators and 3 trials, with calibration traceable to national standards. Attribute checks, such as visual or go/no-go gauges, use an attribute agreement analysis.

#### Authorisation

**Signatures:**

- Supplier authorized representative
- Customer quality representative
- Customer disposition date

**Notes:** This is a fictional sample to show structure. It is not the AIAG PPAP form; the PSW summarizes its fields only. Always follow the PPAP manual edition and customer-specific requirements for your customer. Never submit invented data: results must come from the actual production run.

## Content

**Intro:** This PPAP package example shows what a completed submission looks like for a machined part: the 18 elements as an index, a summary Part Submission Warrant, dimensional results, MSA and process capability notes. Change the fields to your part and export to Word or PDF to use as a starting layout.

**Sections:**

#### How to fill PPAP documents

**Body:** Start with the customer's requirement: the submission level and the elements they require. Level 3, the default, needs the warrant plus product samples and complete supporting data. Collect records from the real production run at production rate: the dimensional results come from measured parts, the capability study from a stable run, and the MSA from the gauges named in the control plan. Then assemble in the element order, number each page, write the warrant last, and have an authorised person sign it. Submit through the customer's portal, commonly Covisint or the customer's supplier system, or as agreed.

**Bullets:**

- Use the same part revision across the drawing, control plan, FMEA and results
- Every characteristic on the drawing needs a result
- Explain any N/A element in writing
- Do not submit before capability and MSA are acceptable

#### What a PPAP file and procedure should contain

**Body:** A PPAP file is the full set of records per part number: the 18 elements, the signed warrant, the customer disposition and any change history. Your PPAP procedure should define who owns each element, how the team reviews the package before submission, how ERP and document control keep revisions aligned, and how you handle resubmission after a change. Keep the file for the life of the part plus the retention period the customer requires. Update it when anything listed in the manual as a trigger occurs, such as a tooling change, a new sub-supplier or a process change.

#### MSA and capability results in the example

**Body:** The sample MSA reports GR&R of 7.4% of tolerance with 14 distinct categories. Under the AIAG MSA guidance, under 10% is generally acceptable, 10% to 30% may be accepted based on importance, and over 30% is not acceptable. The capability study shows Ppk 1.82 on the bore diameter over 125 parts, which clears the common 1.67 requirement for initial studies on special characteristics, though your customer sets the actual criterion. If a result falls short, do not submit: document a plan with 100% inspection and request an interim approval if the customer allows.

#### Common reasons PPAP submissions are rejected

**Body:** Frequent causes are dimensional results from prototype parts rather than the production run, a ballooned drawing at the wrong revision, a control plan that does not match the PFMEA, missing customer-specific requirements, an unsigned or incomplete warrant, and gauges with no MSA. Review the package against the customer's checklist before sending it. A short internal pre-submission review saves weeks of resubmission and delays the production release you are trying to protect.

**Cta:** If PPAP data lives across ERP, PLM and spreadsheets, Netray can build a private AI layer on your own servers that checks revision consistency before you submit.

**Faq:**

#### How many parts are needed for a PPAP submission?

**Answer:** The manual calls for parts from a significant production run, normally one to eight hours or 300 consecutive pieces unless the customer says otherwise. Dimensional results typically cover at least a handful of parts, and capability studies use at least 100 pieces, or per customer requirement.

#### Which PPAP level should I submit?

**Answer:** Whichever the customer specifies. Level 3 is the default: warrant, samples and complete supporting data. Level 1 is the warrant only, Level 2 adds limited data, Level 4 is as defined by the customer and Level 5 requires review at the supplier site.

#### Is there an official AIAG PPAP template in Excel?

**Answer:** AIAG sells the PPAP manual and forms, and many customers publish their own templates. This page provides a layout based on the element structure, not a copy of the official forms.

#### Do I need a new PPAP after a change?

**Answer:** Often yes. Changes to design, tooling, process, material source or location usually require notification and, depending on the customer, a resubmission. Check customer-specific requirements before implementing the change.
