Tier-1 automotive supplier unifies PPAP and quality
A Tier-1 automotive supplier serving OEM customers directly in high-volume production replaced four disconnected quality tools with one system. All 18 PPAP elements now assemble from live, linked records; continuous SPC caught drift early instead of after shipment; and a supplier risk score flagged two suppliers before a rejection reached the line.
Illustrative scenario metrics
Illustrative starting point
PPAP documentation was scattered across four separate systems, so compiling a submission package took weeks of reconciling exports and chasing missing signatures. SPC reviews ran only weekly on offline spreadsheets, which let parts ship before drift was ever detected. Supplier quality lived in spreadsheets with delayed rejection visibility, and CAPA resolution averaged 47 days - long enough for the same escape to recur before the fix landed.
Use this scenario as an evaluation script
Establish the current-state baseline and data sources, then define the exact workflow, permissions, integrations, controls, human decisions, evidence, measurement method, and acceptance thresholds. Test failure and recovery paths as well as the intended flow.
Do not convert the example into a promise
The figures above are synthetic discussion prompts. A customer-specific estimate must identify assumptions, dependencies, exclusions, measurement method, time period, confidence, owner, and approval. A binding commitment exists only in a signed agreement.
