Applying PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) in the Aerospace Industry


Peter Amsden
B.Sc., B. Eng., ASQ CQE

Manager, Supply Chain Quality

Pratt & Whitney Canada

**************************************

2. Ad / Publicité






Join us on April 20 for a presentation on applying PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) in the aerospace industry.


Historically, the aerospace industry has relied upon FAI validation, rarely studying the process variation or the capability of manufacturing at full production rates. This often leads to produceability issues arising during production that can lead to significant costs and customer dissatisfaction. Using the lessons learned in the automotive industry, Peter’s presentation will explain the elements of PPAP and how it needs to be modified for its use in the much lower volume aerospace industry. How it is being deployed within UTC and its supply base, along with the challenges & benefits expected will also be discussed. Finally, the link will be made between PPAP and how it will provide sustainability for its supplier performance recognition program, Supplier Gold.


**************************************

Peter Amsden graduated from the University of Trent with a Bachelor’s degree in Science (Theoretical Physics & Mathematics) before obtaining his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from McGill University. He spent 20 years with General Motors in multiple capacities before joining Pratt & Whitney Canada in 2005.


Peter began his career in maintenance and equipment installation, and contributed to several major retooling projects at GM’s Ste. Therese Assembly Plant, including the state of the art paint facility and the highly automated Body Shop for the Firebird & Camaro models. He moved into the production arena managing assembly operations in the Body Shop and subsequently Final Assembly before transferring to the General Motors Powertrain division in 1995. For six years Peter was responsible for all drive train components (engines, transmission and controls) for the Firebird/Camaro platform, and performed final new product validation for these models as well as common systems with the Corvette and Cadillac Seville vehicle lines.

Peter was promoted to Director of Quality Assurance & Vehicle Assembly Engineering for the Ste. Therese Assembly Plant, achieving the highest first time quality rate in plant history prior to the plant’s closure in 2002. He continued with GM, still in the capacity of Director of Quality Assurance, first in Linden, New Jersey for the popular Blazer truck line and then in Flint, Michigan for GM Powertrain Transmission plants before returning to Montreal in the employ of Pratt & Whitney Canada.

His career with P&WC has remained within the quality domain, starting as Manager, Quality Performance before taking on his current responsibilities as Manager of Supply Chain Quality, responsible for product quality of over $1B of spend. One of his current initiatives is to implement the automotive Production Part Approval Process within P&WC and the other United Technologies aerospace divisions.

4. The Editor's Corner

By Michael Bournazian, Eng., Newsletter Editor


During the week of April 4th, I had the opportunity to take a RABQSA certified ISO 14001 Lead Auditor Training course.  The course is similar to the common ISO 9001 course, in that it is a 5-day intensive training with a written examination on the final day.  This course concentrates on the standard for Environmental Management Systems, as opposed to Quality Management Systems.  And with the increased focus on the environment and global warming over the past decades, I felt that it would be a good training opportunity for me, as well as an excellent addition to my portfolio of auditing knowledge.

Some interesting comparisons between the 2 standards:

*ISO 9001 contains 8 sections, while ISO 14001 contains 4 sections.  The main reason is that the management system requirements for 14001 are all included in 1 section (Section 4), whereas the management system requirements for 9001 are covered over 5 sections (Sections 4-8).

*Much like 9001, the ISO 14001 standard is presented in a "Plan-Do-Check-Act" manner.

*There are plenty of processes that are common to both standards: training, control of documents, control of records, calibration, monitoring and measurement, management review, nonconformance control, corrective and preventive action, internal audits.

*The ISO 9001 standard calls for documented procedures in 6 sections: Control of Nonconforming Product, Internal Auditing, Corrective Action, Preventive Action, Control of Documents and Control of Records.  The ISO 14001 standard calls for documented procedures in 1 section: Operational Control.  What?  How is this possible?  How can you have only 1 documented procedure in an entire management system?

Well, in truth, the 14001 standard does call for procedures in 11 different sections, just not for "documented" procedures in 10 of them.  A note in section 4.2.1 of ISO 9001 states that: "Where the term "documented procedure" appears within this International Standard, this means that the procedure is established, documented, implemented and maintained."  In the ISO 14001 standard, the common statement used is "The organization shall establish, implement and maintain a procedure(s) . . .".  So as an example: so long as the organization has established and implemented a process for controlling records, and can show that they properly maintain the process, there is no need for a documented (aka written) procedure.  I must admit to not having my head totally wrapped around this yet.  My primary philosophy has always been that by documenting the way something should be done (step1, step2, step3, etc.), you standardize it and then train all required employees to carry out the standardized steps.  That way, you achieve the same result every time.

This small little puzzle notwithstanding, I found the ISO 14001 training to be extremely interesting and helpful to me.  I look forward to carrying out environmental audits in the future, and just maybe not asking to see too many documented procedures (and knowing why).

6. Had You Come to the Last Event

By Eric Stern, ASQ Senior Member, CQA, Publicity co-chair

Had you come ... Risk Management Framework

Cristian Dragnef from Sagenti presented “Establishing a Risk Management Framework in 4 steps”. It was a smorgasbord of mostly ISO and BS standards used mainly for information security management. One main conclusion was that understanding the details of the standards, their interaction and application requires extensive training. There is extensive knowledge available and experts can advise on how best to use the existing knowledge. I looked up some of the definition summaries of the involved standards. After the shock of recent disasters that severely disturbed the lives of people apparently far from those events, the complexity of the issues and the limitations of the tools that seem to be available to deal with the risks is frightening. The application of these standards can reduce risks by controlling some of the contributing factors.

>From Wikipedia I found that “ISO/IEC 27001 Information security management systems — Requirements, formally specifies a management system that is intended to bring information security under explicit management control. Organizations that claim to have adopted ISO/IEC 27001 can therefore be formally audited and certified compliant with the standard”.

ISO/IEC 27005 - Information security risk management provide guidelines for information security risk management. It supports the general concepts specified in ISO/IEC 27001 and is designed to assist the satisfactory implementation of information security based on a risk management approach. It does not specify, recommend or even name any specific risk analysis method, although it does specify a structured, systematic and rigorous process from analyzing risks to creating the risk treatment plan.

BS 25999 Code of Practice is a business continuity management (BCM) business-owned, business-driven process that establishes a fit-for-purpose strategic and operational framework.

ISO 31000:2009 provides principles and generic guidelines on risk management. It can be used by any public, private or community enterprise, association, group or individual and is not specific to any industry or sector. It can be applied throughout the life of an organization, and to a wide range of activities, including strategies and decisions, operations, processes, functions, projects, products, services and assets, to any type of risk, whatever its nature, whether having positive or negative consequences.

7. Voice of the Customer

By Raymond E. Dyer - ASQ CMQ/OE & CQA, Voice of the Customer Chair


Learning from our members: both young and more experienced

One of our more famous section members, François Pageau, has again made his mark by being on page 13 of the March 2011 issue of Quality Progress in the "Who’s Who in Q" article. François is one of 11 ASQ members who hold 14 of 18 ASQ certifications. However, as this article describes, there's a lot more behind this man then this impressive Quality expertise achievement. François served on various committees of the Statistical Society of Canada (SSC) and as president of SSC’s Business and Industrial Statistics Section. He is currently the chair of the SSC’s accreditation committee. François is often one of our choice candidates as speaker on Quality tools and practices in his area of expertise and has often presented at our section events. While absent, François was again mentioned at the start of our March 16th, 2011 event by our Leadership Team and all those present applauded his achievements. Many of us have learned a great deal from François and when someone works this hard to accomplish such impressive certification levels, it deserves to be raised to the attention of fellow members and friends.



Now for a newer member. On March 29th, 2011, I had the pleasure of attending Zhong Hua Zhang's defense of his thesis on "Designing Sustainable Supply Chain Networks" as part of his Master of Applied Science (Quality Systems Engineering) at Concordia University. Zhong Hua is the Secretary of our ASQ Montreal Student Branch called "Montreal Universities Student Chapter". We've been networking via LinkedIn pretty much since our student branch started becoming active. The thesis presentation and considerations made by Zhong Hua were very interesting to reflect on and I hope that his work spawns even more areas to explore. I also hope we can eventually get him to summarize some of his work for us and was very proud to have been asked to attend his presentation. If anybody has any serious and practical ideas to explore as "Quality" related areas of University research at the Masters level, I understand there is a willingness to work with business to introduce these potential research topics into their thesis program. If interested, please contact me and I'll do my best to put you in touch with the right players.



Socrates was quoted as saying "The more I learn, the more I learn how little I know." After all these years, this still applies very well. Spending time with individuals like François and Zhong Hua continues to make me realize just how much more there is to learn out there. This is one of the most beneficial reasons for networking with this wonderful Quality community.

Reminder: Please keep your eyes open for our section survey. As previously indicated, our aim is to get your input and deliver the best services we can for you. Thank-you in advance for your understanding and participation.

Review of ASQ Student Chapter Event (Thursday, March 24, 2011)

The third event of ASQ Montreal Universities’ Student Chapter took place on March 24th, 2011, at Concordia University.  The event started with Dr. Anjali Awasthi’s, Program Counsellor, welcome speech. Then Yatin Khurana, Co-chair, greeted the participants and introduced the speakers Dr. Rajesh K.Tyagi and Mr. Stephen Jones.  Yatin referred them as a perfect combination of speakers because one of them was from Academics and the other from Industry; one improves the quality of services and the other injects quality in designs and products.

The first presentation was given by Dr. Rajesh Tyagi and the topic of presentation was “Application of Six Sigma for Services”.  Dr. Tyagi started his presentation with a simple yet complex question: “What is the difference between Quality and Performance?”, rendering the whole audience active.  He introduced a new methodology called “DMAIE” for service-industry specific performance measurement.  He stressed a lot on the importance of Innovation phase in DMAIE.  The presentation ended with a very interactive Q&A session and finally the speaker was honoured with a small memento.

In the second half, Mr. Stephen Jones, Senior Engineering Specialist at Bombardier Aerospace, took the dais and presented his analysis on two white papers namely “Key Concepts in Modeling Product Development Processes" and “The Many Views of a Process: Toward a Process Architecture Framework for Product Development Processes”.  He shared his perspective on the domain based on a vital experience of 34 years.  He also mentioned about the need of research efforts in this challenging area and motivated students to explore this field.  He ended his presentation by sharing his strong belief in standard work practices and motivated audience to strive for Continuous Improvement.  The presentation was very much liked by the audience and concluded by honouring Mr Jones with a small souvenir.
