MMOG/LE Requirement 3.2.3
MMOG/LE Requirement 3.2.3 version 6.0 states that the organization’s capacity planning process has the capability to ensure that the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) requirements are available in a timely manner to support customer requirements.
The Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) is an automotive process outlining requirements for approval of production parts. Its purpose is to measure whether a supplier can, with regularity, fulfill these requirements. PPAP is listed in the OEM Customer Specific Requirements for:
- Ford Motor Company

In addition, PPAP is identified as a requirement of many of the tiered suppliers’ guidelines.
