Module 1. PPAP Fundamentals and Purpose: Purpose, scope, applicability, and relationship with IATF 16949, APQP, FMEA, Control Plan, MSA, SPC, and Customer Specific Requirements (CSR).

Module 2. PPAP Submission Requirements and Change Management: Initial submission criteria, customer notification rules, changes requiring authorization or resubmission, and coordinated Core Tools updates.

Module 3. Significant Production Run: Operational conditions (equipment, tooling, operators, material, environment, line speed, and cycle time); part traceability, test results, and evidence collection.

Module 4. The 18 PPAP Requirements: Requirements 1–6 (Design Record, Authorized Engineering Changes, Customer Engineering Approval, DFMEA, Process Flow Diagram, PFMEA); Requirements 7–12 (Control Plan, MSA, Dimensional Results, Material/Performance Test Results, Initial Process Studies, Qualified Laboratory Documentation); Requirements 13–18 (AAR, Sample Production Parts, Master Sample, Checking Aids, CSR, Part Submission Warrant – PSW).

Module 5. Submission Levels 1–5: Submitted documentation versus retained/accessible evidence; selection of submission levels based on customer directives.

Module 6. Part Submission Warrant (PSW) and Approval Status: Preparation and technical review of the PSW; Approved, Interim, and Rejected statuses, operational impacts, and follow-up on open items.

Module 7. Technical Package Review: Consistency across Engineering Drawing/Spec ↔ FMEA ↔ Control Plan ↔ MSA/SPC ↔ Inspection Results; special characteristics, revision levels/dates, and non-conformance disposition.

Module 8. Record Retention, CSR, and Post-Approval Maintenance: Records, samples, and evidence retention rules; customer-specific guidelines and PPAP package maintenance following design/process changes or quality issues.

Module 9. Practical Workshop and Assessment: Hands-on review of a PPAP folder with missing/inconsistent evidence, determination of submission levels, pre-PSW action plan, and internal release decision.
