Appearance Approval Report

Automotive Electronics Council

Automotive Industry Action Group (acc. to AIAG Manual)

The AIAG is a group formed by DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors.
The purpose: To provide an open forum where members cooperate in developing and promoting solutions that enhance the prosperity of the automotive industry.

AIAG's focus is to continuously improve business processes and practices involving trading partners throughout the supply chain.

Advanced Product Quality Planning (acc. to AIAG Manual / APQP)
Plan and process to support the product preparation prior to component qualification (PPAP). The purpose is to assist the Product Quality Planning Team in developing and defining appropriate quality measures to support product specific customer requirements, needs and expectations.

Bill of Material

Is a substance (e.g. non-dimensional solid, liquid, gas) such as adhesives, sealants, chemicals, coating, fabrics, lubricants, etc. A bulk material may become production material if issued a customer production part number.

Critical Characteristic: Product/Process Characteristic affects a product safety, operator safety and/or compliance with regulatory (governmental and legal) requirements. 

Control Level Definition

Continuous Process Ko-Efficiency

Controlled Shipping Level

Dock Audit Report

Defective Material Report

Design Requirement Document

Extended control and inspection activities implemented during SOP and to contain quality issues if defined.

Non Conforming Material

P (Plan) D (Do) C (Check) A (Act)

Production Part Approval Process (acc. to AIAG Manual / PPAP)
It defines generic requirements for production part approval, incl. Production and bulk materials. / The purpose is to determine if all customer engineering design record and specification requirements are properly understood by the supplier and that the process has the potential to produce product consistently meeting these requirements during an actual production run at the quoted production rate.

Preliminary Process Ko-Efficiency

 (according to AIAG Manual / APQP) Pre-Launch control plans are a description of the dimensional measurements and material and functional tests that will occur after prototype and before full production. 
The Pre-Launch control plan should include additional product / process controls to be implemented until the production process is validated. The purpose of the Pre-Launch control plan is to contain potential nonconformances during or prior to initial production runs.
