How PPAP and FMEA Are Applied for Precision and Reliability
In today's competitive manufacturing landscape, consistent part quality, traceability, and risk mitigation are non-negotiable especially when working with OEMs in automotive, defense, and aerospace sectors. At 77 Teknik, we integrate robust quality processes in manufacturing, like FMEA and PPAP to ensure each component meets critical performance and compliance requirements.
What Is FMEA and Why Does It Matter?
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) is a proactive risk assessment tool that helps identify potential failure points before production begins.
FMEA at 77 Teknik includes:
Functional and design-level failure analysis
Process-level controls and preventive actions
Collaboration between engineering, quality, and production teams
Documentation that integrates into broader APQP processes
Benefits of FMEA:
Reduces scrap and rework
Improves first-pass yield
Ensures design intent is preserved in production
Supports ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 compliance
What Is PPAP and When Is It Required?
PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) is a structured approval process required by many global OEMs. It verifies that the supplier can meet all customer engineering and quality requirements.
PPAP Documentation May Include:
Part Submission Warrant (PSW)
Design records and material certs
Dimensional results
Initial process capability studies
Control plans and FMEA
Appearance approval report (AAR)
Sample production parts
When Do Clients Request PPAP?
New part launches
Engineering changes
Tooling or process changes
Re-location of production
How We Apply Quality Processes in Manufacturing at 77 Teknik
At 77 Teknik, quality isn’t a checkpoint it’s built into the process. We apply FMEA and PPAP across the following:
CNC machining: Tight tolerance components for automotive and defense
Sheet metal fabrication: Bending, welding, and assembly validation
Custom fixtures & assemblies: Verifying functional fit and fatigue limits
Each PPAP submission is handled by trained QA personnel and supported with CMM inspection, material certifications, and SPC data.
Compliance, Documentation & Export
Working with European clients means aligning with strict documentation standards. Our quality team ensures:
Full PPAP packages on request
DFMEA and PFMEA reports
Dimensional and material traceability
Support for CE, REACH, RoHS, and ISO standards
Summary
FMEA and PPAP are not just checkboxes, they are essential pillars of reliable, scalable, and compliant manufacturing. At 77 Teknik, these tools enable us to deliver precision parts with confidence, whether for CNC, welding, or sheet metal fabrication.
