Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) is used in the Aerospace or automotive supply chain for establishing confidence in suppliers and their production processes. Actual measurements are taken from the parts produced and are used to complete the various test sheets of PPAP. "All customer engineering design record and specification ...
First article inspection. A First Article Inspection (FAI) is a production validation process for verifying that a new or modified production process produces conforming parts that meet the manufacturing specification detailed in technical or engineering drawings. Typically, a supplier performs the FAI and the purchaser reviews the report.
Advanced product quality planning (APQP) is a framework of procedures and techniques used to develop products in industry, particularly in the automotive industry. It differs from Six Sigma in that the goal of Six Sigma is to reduce variation, but has similarities to Design for Six Sigma (DFSS). According to the Automotive Industry Action Group ...
ANOVA gauge R&R. ANOVA gage repeatability and reproducibility is a measurement systems analysis technique that uses an analysis of variance (ANOVA) random effects model to assess a measurement system. The evaluation of a measurement system is not limited to gage but to all types of measuring instruments, test methods, and other measurement systems.
AS9100. AS9100 is a widely adopted and standardized quality management system for the aerospace industry. It was released in October, 1999, by the Society of Automotive Engineers and the European Association of Aerospace Industries. [1][2] AS9100 replaces the earlier AS9000 and fully incorporates the entirety of the current version of ISO 9001 ...
Measurement system analysis. A measurement system analysis (MSA) is a thorough assessment of a measurement process, and typically includes a specially designed experiment that seeks to identify the components of variation in that measurement process. Just as processes that produce a product may vary, the process of obtaining measurements and ...
Specifically, instead of having a separate body of regulations for a PMA Fabrication Inspection System (FIS), [18] as was the case in prior regulations, the PMA regulations now include a cross reference to the 14 C.F.R. § 21.137, [19] which is the regulation defining the elements of a quality system for all production approval holders. [20]
Process performance qualification protocol. Process performance qualification protocol is a component of process validation: process qualification. This step is vital in maintaining ongoing production quality by recording and having available for review essential conditions, controls, testing, and expected manufacturing outcome of a production ...
