PPAP.
Managing PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) can be a monumental task, especially with multiple submissions, complex APQP processes and the need for tight revision control. Singlepoint’s PPAP module transforms this intricate process, giving you the power and ease of an automated system that helps you manage PPAP approval, submission and revision control.
One-stop PPAP solution
Forget the manual slog of collating documents from disparate sources. With Singlepoint PPAP, all your critical documentation is merged into a single, digitised package. No more missed key data, no more wasted time, just a streamlined process designed to facilitate both approval and ongoing revision management. The system provides full traceability every step of the way.
Easy template management
Customise templates for various PPAP submission levels, guiding users to compile the exact combination of required documents. This ensures adherence to specific requirements, reducing the risk of incomplete submissions. For improved compliance, our task management feature notifies users automatically and keeps actions ‘Open’ until completed by appropriate personnel.
Seamless real-time integration
Tired of flipping between multiple systems? Singlepoint PPAP is fully integrated with Singlepoint Document Management. Browse the DMS database on your Windows environment to assemble documents you need. Multiple team members can also collaborate on a single PPAP record in real time.
Powerful workflow capabilities
Each new PPAP record begins life with a ‘draft’ number and ultimately needs to be approved. Using Singlepoint’s powerful workflow capabilities, the PPAP can be routed on either simple or complex workflows. Notifications are automatically sent to the users in the approval list, which can include external users.
Flexible file output options
Once approved, save your PPAP in a PDF zip file, or use the batch print option for manual submissions. Whatever your needs, Singlepoint has you covered.
Future-proof revision control
Subsequent submissions required? No problem. Whether you are submitting a PPAP for the first or multiple times, Singlepoint creates a new revision of the PPAP with all new or updated documents. It also retains all previous versions, providing a complete audit trail for full life-cycle traceability.
