AI-Powered PPAP Submission Management
Build complete, customer-ready PPAP packages with AI-powered validation, element-by-element tracking, and automated document consistency checks. AIPQP brings together all 18 PPAP elements in a single platform, where Requirements, DFMEAs, Manufacturing Work Instructions, Process Flows, PFMEAs, Control Plans, and related APQP documents generated throughout AIPQP are automatically linked into the final submission.
Every document maintains complete traceability to its source, creating a continuous digital thread from project planning through PPAP. Before submission, AI identifies missing elements, inconsistencies, and cross-document mismatches, helping your team deliver accurate, compliant PPAP packages with greater confidence and less manual effort.

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 validates PPAP packages through three layers of intelligent review: completeness validation, cross-document consistency checks, and gap analysis.
First, AI verifies that all required PPAP elements are included based on the selected submission level. It then compares documents across the package to ensure part numbers, revision levels, specifications, and critical information remain consistent. Finally, AI identifies potential risks by detecting missing evidence, expired certifications, incomplete requirements, and other submission gaps.
The result is an AI-generated pre-submission readiness assessment with a confidence score, identified issues, and recommended actions to help teams submit accurate, complete PPAP packages.
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 provides supplier portal workflows that allow suppliers to securely upload required documents directly into the appropriate PPAP package structure. Files are automatically organized by PPAP element, while built-in validation checks help ensure required formats and documentation are captured correctly. Corresponding teams receive notifications when supplier submissions are complete and ready for review.
How PPAP Connects the Complete Workflows?
AIPQP connects PPAP management with the entire APQP and product lifecycle through a single digital thread. PPAP packages automatically incorporate documents generated through AI Generation—including DFMEA, PFMEA, Control Plans, MSA, Process Capabilities, and related quality records—while preserving complete document lineage and traceability.
PPAP workflows also connect with AI Assessment insights, New Product Launch readiness tracking, and corrective actions captured through Lessons Learned Intelligence. With automated cross-document validation and a shared source of truth, teams can maintain consistency, improve collaboration, and ensure every submission reflects the latest quality information.
