I often hear concerns from design engineers and quality managers regarding the submission levels of PPAP (Production Part Approval Process). On the other hand, the necessary documents for PPAP are currently not well-documented online, as they are typically created and managed by departments such as manufacturing, quality control, and quality assurance, which are familiar with the field. In this article, based on the author's experience in technical development at a former automobile manufacturer, I will clearly explain the characteristics and distinctions of submission levels 1 to 5, along with the necessary submission documents, using specific examples. This content will be particularly useful for those facing design changes or the launch of new parts, as well as those considering a review of their quality management system. If you want to gain a correct understanding of PPAP levels and create a smooth parts approval process, please read until the end. *For detailed content of the article, you can view it through the link below.*

Free membership registrationInspection sheets are commonly used in a wide range of industries such as manufacturing, construction, food service, and transportation. Their purpose is to prevent equipment and machinery troubles and to ensure that operations can be carried out safely. Therefore, it is important to maintain accurate records and manage them so that they can be easily referenced when needed. However, when inspection sheets are managed on paper, issues such as difficulty in noticing omissions or recording errors, as well as the cumbersome management of records, can arise. As a result, many companies are digitizing (electronicizing) their paper-based inspection sheets. This article will clarify the challenges of paper inspection sheets and explain the benefits gained from their electronicization. Additionally, we will introduce case studies of companies that have successfully improved their operations through the electronicization of inspection sheets, so those considering this transition should find it helpful. *For more detailed information, please refer to the link below.*

Free membership registrationIn the manufacturing field, there are situations where reliance on KKD (intuition, experience, and courage), based on years of experience and instinct, is unavoidable, particularly on veterans who possess tacit knowledge. The subtle adjustment techniques and visual quality judgments held by skilled workers contribute to the creation of high-quality products, but this tacit knowledge is difficult to express in words. However, dependence on such experienced veteran employees poses significant risks to the manufacturing site. This article provides a detailed explanation of video manuals, which are gaining attention as a means to address these challenges in manufacturing environments. We have compiled practical information for leaders in the manufacturing sector, including methods for visualizing tacit knowledge, tips for creating clear and communicative videos, and strategies to encourage employees to use them. *For more details, you can view the article through the link below.*

Free membership registrationThe procedure manual is an important document that allows all employees to understand the work content and produce products or services of the same quality. By preparing easy-to-understand procedure manuals that anyone can comprehend, standardization of operations progresses, waste in work is reduced, and improvements in productivity and sales can be expected. However, if the content of the procedure manual is difficult to understand and it is unclear who uses it and for what purpose, issues such as insufficient explanations and discrepancies in interpretation may arise, making it impossible to maintain a consistent level of employee performance. As a result, variations in quality can lead to complaints from customers and business partners, potentially resulting in risks such as customer support issues and compensation. This article will explain the purpose of creating procedure manuals, the differences from similar terms like "manual," how to create procedure manuals, tools to use during creation, and tips for making them more acceptable to frontline employees. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the link below.*
