Sampling

Sampling

Fulfill customer requirements with PPAP and PPF

Do you want to ensure product quality and fulfillment of all requirements? Then the execution of sampling is indispensable.

Since 1998, the German automotive industry has required its suppliers to provide samples of series parts in the form of production process and product release (PPF in german Produktionsprozess- und Produktfreigabe) in accordance with VDA Volume 2. With the help of the PPF process, the supplier provides evidence before the start of series production that the customer requirements and other requirements agreed in the specifications are met. The Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) defines requirements of a general nature for production process and product approval, including process-related products. Establish a structured procedure in your company for the evaluation and approval of processes and products. Meet necessary customer requirements and guarantee the highest quality of your delivered products.
