PPAP Submission Management Software
Assemble complete PPAP packages with element-by-element checklists, cross-validation between documents, and export to customer-ready formats. Documents generated in AIPQP flow directly into your PPAP package with full lineage tracking, so every Control Plan, PFMEA, and Inspection Plan traces back to its sources. AI checks for gaps and inconsistencies before you submit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 18 PPAP elements?
The 18 PPAP elements are: (1) Design Records, (2) Engineering Change Documents, (3) Customer Engineering Approval, (4) Design FMEA, (5) Process Flow Diagrams, (6) Process FMEA, (7) Control Plan, (8) Measurement System Analysis Studies, (9) Dimensional Results, (10) Material/Performance Test Results, (11) Initial Process Studies, (12) Qualified Laboratory Documentation, (13) Appearance Approval Report, (14) Sample Production Parts, (15) Master Sample, (16) Checking Aids, (17) Customer-Specific Requirements, and (18) Part Submission Warrant. AIPQP tracks all 18 with status indicators, responsible owners, and due dates.
How does AI validate a PPAP package?
AI performs three types of validation: completeness checks (verifying all required elements for the submission level are present), cross-document validation (ensuring part numbers, revision levels, and specifications match across all documents), and gap analysis (flagging missing evidence, expired certifications, and incomplete requirements). The system generates a pre-submission readiness score with specific action items.
What PPAP submission levels does the platform support?
AIPQP supports all five PPAP submission levels: Level 1 (PSW only), Level 2 (PSW with product samples and limited data), Level 3 (PSW with product samples and complete supporting data, the most common level), Level 4 (PSW and other requirements as defined by the customer), and Level 5 (PSW with product samples and complete supporting data available for review at the supplier location).
Can suppliers upload documents through a portal?
Yes. AIPQP includes supplier portal workflows where suppliers can upload required documents directly into the PPAP package structure. Documents are organized by element, and the system validates file types and notifies the quality team when uploads are complete.
How does this integrate with the rest of the quality workflow?
PPAP packages pull documents generated in AI Generation (Control Plans, PFMEAs, Process Flows, Inspection Plans) with their full APQP lineage intact. Packages also connect to AI Assessment scores, launch readiness from New Product Launch, and corrective actions from Lessons Learned Intelligence. Document lineage and cross-document validation keep your PPAP package consistent and traceable from a single source of truth.
