3. Conclusions
Comparing the two methods, it is found that by introducing two documents will help to decrease the ppm values
and will increase the quality performance and the customer satisfaction.
The research also identifies one important aspect correlated to the actual values of the scrap rates in the different
project stages. If the values considered at the project quotation will be more closures to the reality the project
situation could be estimated since beginning with all possible risk and can be evaluated when the project will go in a
stabile mode.
In the situation of implementing of a new products line at a automotive industry company, taking in consideration
decorative parts, is necessary a good correlation between APQP activities and PPAP requirements. This is necessary
to identify the 18 elements of PPAP requirements, together with the above proposed additional steps that will help
the decrease of the ppm rate.
Future research may demonstrate the appropriateness of updating such documents constantly base on the
evolution of the products and the continues development of the automotive industry.
