In my mind, a quality procedure this complicated will normally provide an out for whoever is responsible for the issue.

Deming (the father of SPC) on the other hand gave us a straight forward statistical control process founded in statistical analysis and not an overload of forms or other superfluous paperwork that usually conceals the issue and root cause. Of course this requires engineers that have a strong current statistical background and a management team that has similar expertise. My personal experience suggest that these hyperbolic procedures are concocted by those who have a poor understanding of statistics or have bosses that are still trying to understand the difference between an average as opposed to a medium value.

  Thanks Steve, great information well presented.

  So if I understand correctly Sergeant Friday the PPAP(process) is complete
  after the PPAP(package) is submitted with the PSW which includes the AECQ.

  Ya gotta love this business ;-)

  PPAP - Production Part Approval Process, is used in the automotive
  supply chain to establish confidence in component suppliers and their
  production processes, by demonstrating that:

  "....all customer engineering design record and specification
  requirements are properly understood by the supplier and that the
  process has the potential to produce product consistently meeting these
  requirements during an actual production run at the quoted production
  rate."


  PSW - Part Submission Warrant, The result of the PPAP process is a
  series of documents gathered in one specific location (a binder or
  electronically) called the "PPAP Package". The PPAP package is a series
  of documents which need a formal approval by the supplier and customer.
  The form that summarizes this package is called PSW (Part Submission
  Warrant). The approval of the PSW indicates that the supplier
  responsible person (usually the Quality Engineer) has reviewed this
  package and that the customer has not identified any issues that would
  prevent its approbation.

  This is from:

  AECQ100 - Automotive Electronic Committee, Automotive quality is
  governed by a set of various standards. The most frequent and recognized
  one is the series of documents published by the Automotive Electronic
  Committee (AEC). One of these is the AEC-Q100 which describes the tests
  and conditions electronic components have to satisfy before the
  automotive qualification can be pronounced. Different grades are defined
  depending mainly on the operational temperature conditions.

  Hi Ted,

  I'm not in the automotive industry and I'm afraid some of your acronyms
  have gone over my head, i.e. PPAP, AECQ, PSW, etc. They may not be
  specific to the auto industry but I don't recognize them.

  Could I get a short definition?

  Thanks,

  KennyB

  I work for a CM that has 75%-80% of the customer base as automotive. I
  can tell you that the cost of changing a design is neither cheap nor
  quick. 90% of the automotive assemblies we make are from customers that
  assembly and sell the final product to the automotive industry. All
  products must have a level 3 PPAP on the final assembly and a separate
  level 3 on the bare boards. We have now reached a point that AECQ
  information is required for all the components placed on the PCB and or
  used on the final assembly to our end use customer. On average my full
  level 3 PPAP's are 200+ pages and changes/amendments to the original
  PPAP could be as short as a PSW or as large as 100+ pages. This doesn't
  include what our customer or their final customer needs to do for their
  final PPAP. So when something changes in the automotive industry it has
  a ripple effect and everyone has to make changes or updates which
  requires a lot of time and money. 
  I have been working with a customer that has had a design issue where
  the terminal ends do not mate correctly. We notified them over a year
  ago and provided supporting documentation from the supplier of the
  terminal stating that it was incorrect, they are now just starting to do
  something about it.
  It's not as simple a changing or fixing the problem. It's like working
  on a military project. One small fuse would require a pallet of paper
  work and two years, minimal, for approval on changes and by that time
  the product is no longer being produced.

  Ted T.
