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.*

Inspection 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.*
