Find the first PPAP rejection before your customer does

Eighteen elements, each with its evidence, and a rehearsal that stops exactly where a reviewer would.

In brief

  • Every PPAP element shows whether it is required at the chosen level, its status and the evidence behind it.
  • A rejection rehearsal walks the package in AIAG element order and stops at the first element a reviewer would reject.
  • Elements after the stop are reported as unknown, not as clean.

The package, element by element

The coolant pump is being prepared for a Level 3 submission. MIYOQA lists the PPAP elements with whether each is required, its disposition, the status the engine derives from the records, and the evidence behind it.

PPAP elements 1 to 17 at Level 3, each with required flag, disposition, status from the engine and evidence.
Status comes from the records, not from a checkbox. Initial process studies show as open: none of the two special characteristics has capability evidence attached yet.

The part submission warrant itself, element 18, is generated from the record on request rather than typed.

Rehearse the rejection

Before anything is sent, MIYOQA rehearses the review. It walks the package in AIAG element order, the way a customer's supplier quality engineer would, and stops at the first element that would be rejected.

A PPAP rejection rehearsal that stops at element 4, DFMEA, which is required at Level 3 but still open; the elements after it are marked as never reached.
The review stops at element 4: the DFMEA is required at Level 3 but still open. The elements after it were never opened, so the rehearsal says nothing about them.

The rehearsal is careful about what it does not know. Fixing the DFMEA does not make the remaining elements pass; it only lets the review continue into them. Elements below the stop are reported as unknown, not clean, and the rehearsal states that it predicts, not that it speaks for the customer.

Why it matters

A rejected PPAP costs weeks. MIYOQA shows the first rejection while it can still be fixed in-house, and never reports an element as ready because nobody looked at it.

Demonstration case. The records come from Project M, a synthetic programme that ships with MIYOQA for training and evaluation. No customer data is shown.
