Part Approval Process / PPAP / PPA

If several part approval processes in a similar form become necessary, you don’t have to start from scratch each time: In the Babtec software, you can store your own templates for part approval processes. If required, you can quickly refer to these. A customer-specific template can, for example, contain the specific evidence required by the customer or by an industry standard.

Access CAD drawings, characteristic information in Q-DAS format and existing part approval processes or inspection plans. In this way you can use and import existing data in order to define all characteristics that are necessary for generating the ISIR as part of PPAP or PPA.

During the initial sample inspection, you record the measured values and inspection results to be documented for each initial sample part – conveniently via an interface to the inspection equipment used of by importing it from a file in Q-DAS format, which was provided directly by the measuring machine used, for example. If necessary, additional information can be recorded for each measured value, such as the nest or batch number.

You can manage initial sample approvals clearly from the supplier or customer perspective. Decisions that have been made are recognizable in the ISIR software at a glance thanks to the intuitive visualization with symbols and colors. The documented results can be summarized in the required ISIR according to PPAP (AIAG) or PPA (VDA Volume 2) and made available in report form.

Further documents, which are required as part of the part approval process and have been created based on data from other modules of the Babtec software, can be merged with the ISIR. If required, you can refer directly to process FMEAs, control plans, gauge capability tests, etc. in the ISIR software. Versioning of the documents allows you to always have an overview of the different processing statuses. Tasks that arise in the course of the part approval process can be directly assigned to the responsible persons in the central task and action management. This gives you a powerful initial sample inspection report software that supports you in reducing the usually considerable effort involved in carrying out extensive part approval processes according to PPAP or PPA.
